Katie is an absolutely outstanding solicitor! She made my experience as easy as possible and helped me throughout with anything I did not understand. She got me the outcome I was hoping for and I could not of asked for more. She’s brilliant and I would and have recommended her to anyone who needs advice in her field.

Client

I want to express my thanks and gratitude to Katie who has helped me in a professional and friendly manner.

I was really overwhelmed before the first meeting with her but she completely put me at ease, explaining proceedings and paperwork to me.

I would not hesitate to use this firm again in future I'd I need further help.

Client

Katie has been incredible since taking over the case. It’s really helpful dealing with a solicitor who you think understands what you are going through but also has the knowledge to represent you effectively.

Throughout the process she has been available via email with prompt replies and has given excellent advice and information about the case. I have felt supported throughout.

I would definitely recommend Katie to deal with any family law case in the future. Thanks for all of your help.
