Stephanie is exceptional. Her professional approach during these past few years helped to minimise the impact of divorce on my children.

I will forever be grateful to Stephanie for her unrivalled expertise, care and guidance during the intense process of family separation.

Super Divorce Support

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences.
I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

As a 'blended' family we have been in the unenviable position of needing a significant amount of legal advice regarding family matters. Having used other firms in the past, both my husband and I have chosen to rely on Gardner Leader, in particular on Stephanie Buckeridge, to advise and lead on these matters. The firm has represented us for a number of years and we could not be more impressed or thankful for the personalised support we have received. In every case we have achieved an outcome which truly reflects the best interests of our (combined) four children.
