Look no further.
Kate Butler assisted me for the last few years in a very difficult and complicated family matter concerning an ex-partner and our shared children. We have negotiated the MOST difficult allegations from the Mother, including child battery and peadophilia amongst many many more (all proven false of course). Kate's counsel has been invaluable and her intiate knowledge of the history of the case is nothing less than staggering. On a number of occasions Kate remembered details from years ago that I had almost forgotten.
With Kate's assistance, despite all the serial malicious allegations from the Mother, we recently acheived full 50/50 shared care of the children having started from the Mother's position being the children should not have a relationship with their Father outside a child contact centre.
When it all began I employed a different family law solicitor. When I engaged Kate instead everything started to turn around, and to acheive this shared residency order is a result I would never have believed was possible at the beginning. Kate is not just good with the law, she is a true master of sensible advice on how to deal with an ex-partner like I have. I could not make a higher reccomendation.
If you suffering domestic abuse at the hands of ex-partner, or your children are being weaponised against you, Kate is the one who can help. If you are anyone else considering any sort of family law proceedings - Kate will also I am sure exhibit the same attenton to detail and talent in her work as she did with us.
Thank you again. You have massively improved the life prospects for my children.

This recommendation is for Kate Butler
Kate has been my rock from day one guiding me and keeping me grounded throughout my case.
I express my deepest thanks that Kate has given up a good part of her day off to represent me in court today, and going beyond, dropping everything to prepare on such short notice.
Kate is incredibly caring and compassionate when emotions and sadness got the better of me, and the words stopped flowing.
Kate has gone to great lengths to help me make the correct direction and taken time to explain the process.
I cannot express how much help Kate has given me, but know she is the very best at what she does.
I could not have gone through the emotional difficulties and her ability to keep me grounded is beyond question.
I offer my unreserved recommendation for Kate and the wonderful team that supports her in her work.

A complicated Separation
Kate Butler was recommended to me by a work colleague & from our first initial consultation to the successful conclusion of my separation I was nothing but impressed by the service received by Kate.
Kate has a wealth of experience & knowledge in the legal field & is literally a castle of information when it comes to family law.
Her constant support & professional approach was second to none & I would have no reservations at all to recommend Kate’s services to all.

Excellent family law solicitor
I cant thank Kate enough for all her advice, support, guidance and humour during my difficult and emotional journey. I'm so glad my friend suggested I make contact with Kate for some initial advice when it was clear my marriage had come to an end. I have absolutely no doubt that Kate will be the only person I will be strongly recommending to any friends and/colleagues who find themselves in a similar position as myself.

Kate is very knowledgeable
I contacted Kate Butler regarding a divorce and financial settlement. I was confused and didn�t have a clue where to start. Kate guided me through every process and was accurate and concise with her advice. After a difficult period I was happy with the outcome. Kate is very knowledgeable and explains everything clearly.

Personal and approachable
Kate Butler was highly recommended to me, when having gone through the first part of court proceedings in person, things had quickly descended into chaos. Kate quickly got a grasp of my case and made order out of everything. She has consistently provided a professional service whilst being personal and approachable. She always responds quickly and has given me confidence throughout a very difficult court process. She has a vast knowledge that she draws on easily and is always sharp with answers to complex matters. I will forever be grateful for her guidance and support.

Extremely impressed
I have been extremely impressed by the professionalism from the company and the impeccable service, support and knowledge provided by my lawyer Kate Butler. The efficiency and experience provided was without doubt second to non during an incredibly complex divorce. Kate was always pleasant and extremely supportive and easy to approach for advice and detail as required, keeping me updated and abreast of the developments. Particularly professional and reassuring during the days at court. I would highly recommend Kate and the company.
