From our first meeting with Louisa we felt we were in safe hands. Her honest and straight-talking approach were appreciated in a situation which felt overwhelming and hugely stressful for us to navigate. Her experience and foresight enabled us to make and execute a plan which ultimately proved to be successful in achieving the objective I tasked her with which was securing 50:50 shared care for my son, but also through her quick and astute thinking early in the process, avoided him being moved six hours away from me. My partner and I are incredibly grateful to Louisa and her team for their guidance, reassurance and dedication throughout.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Louisa as my solicitor and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Her expertise and attention to detail were fantastic, providing me with confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.

Client

The help that Hay & Kilner gave to us when we were fighting a Court case was absolutely invaluable, in particular I would like to give thanks to Louisa Bestford, who guided us through what was a very difficult time. Her commitment and integrity were absolutely second to none! We won the case hands down but we could not have done it without her legal expertise and guidance. I can unreservedly recommend this Firm!!

Client

Thank you for all your help – whilst it has been an amicable divorce, it has still been pretty hard and emotional but you have made it as stress free as possible and always kept me fully informed.

Client

Words really cannot express how thankful I am to you for getting me through this particularly difficult time and helping me become free!

Lots of positivity has happened including my beautiful new home and going back into maths teaching - I don’t believe any of this would have been possible without your help this past year
