  • - Ms T March 2025

    Going through a Divorce is not an easy process, Lidia's knowledge and support made it a lot easier. She was on hand for support to talk everything through and give me all my options. She made me feel so comfortable with how approachable and calm she was. I got the result out of the divorce I wanted and that was down to her hard work.

  • - Ms X March 2025

    Hana provided excellent advice and support throughout a difficult and stressful divorce and financial settlement. Spanning some five years from the start of the procedure, Hana was always prompt with advice and guidance though out. I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position to myself.
