child arrangements order

5

I am very happy with the service provided from this firm, also the barrister that was assigned to assist during the court hearings.

The Solicitors were easily contactable and always replied quickly and were informative. They took away mass amounts of stress during this difficult time and I feel going forward there is a clear plan for my child to spend time with her father.

Thankyou very much.
