Despite my decision to avoid formal court proceedings, Joanne demonstrated such a professional and empathetic ear throughout all our conversations. Her advice empowered me to make an informed choice about my future, and I am incredibly grateful for her kind approach.

Matthew is an extremely patient and understanding person who has provided me with all the relevant information regarding family law.
I had a 4 year legal matter with my ex wife and I contacted Matthew to take over proceedings within the last 12 months of my application and he was truly my saviour and confident.
Without Matthew I absolutely believe I wouldn’t have custody of my son who is now safe and happy in my care.
Matthew is a compassionate and caring lawyer who demonstrated the knowledge and experience required to finalise my matter.
Matthew is also a professional and a reliant person who will communicate with effort that made me feel at ease with every step of my application knowing that he had everything under complete control.
Matthew is an amazing and compassionate person. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and he provided everything I required to make my entire life complete.

I had Matthew as my solicitor, he was amazing & would not hesitate going through him again if needed.

He is a very dedicated lawyer to his clients (me being one of them), communication is fantastic he will tell you how it is. Him & I worked well together through my case, he worked with me step by step, actually wish I had him from the very start. But given the time he had to go over my case & put stuff together as quick as he had to ect, was awesome. He will do absolutely everything in his power to help you through your case. You be honest & upfront with him, as it gets you further & he will endure to help you & get you the best possible outcome he can. He won me my case. Highly recommend him,
His the best I’ve ever had.
