Prolonged Divorce
I came to Acorn Family Law LLP after my previous solicitors closed due to a legal intervention. The first words that were spoken to me on the review of my documentation was that I had been paying my old solicitors too much money. Acorn Family Law LLP also had a trying time with my ex-wife's solicitors and the courts for a few different reasons, even though it came to hair pulling out situations Acorn Family Law LLP did their best to resolve these issues and get the required information. The estimated time to the divorce end far exceeded any estimated time scales, but Acorn Family Law LLP were always there to help move things forward as fast as they could.

Would recommend to others
Leo dealt with my family matter in a great way and was effective in my case. She was very knowledgeable and set everyone at ease. I would use this law firm again should another matter arise as I was pleased with the outcome and felt my needs were looked into whilst dealing with my case in a knowledgeable way also.

Thank you...
During the most fraught time of my life I feel incredibly thankful that I had Leo by my side. Finding a solicitor worth their salt is a minefield and I had no idea where to start, but from the outset of my representation I found Leo's knowledge and honesty just the ticket. The other side went through three different teams of representation and as each hearing passed (of which there were numerous interim hearings and two final hearings) it further cemented my belief that having someone with the compassion and integrity of Leo in your corner, steering you through all the emotions and heartache, is exactly what you need. The system can be cruel, and the process can be long, but right help and support goes a long way to surviving it all. I don't underestimate the importance of finding Leo in shaping the future for this doting father and his wonderful son.
Thank you Leo

Amazing service
I would very highly recommend Acorn Family Law in all matters relating to marital seoaration and divorce. Consultations by phone, email, and in person were great with everything clearly explained and costs made clear upfront. In two visits to court the service was excellent with plenty of time allowed both before and after the hearings for discussion. I cannot recommend Acorn Family Law highly enough.
