Extremely helpful

Navigating the complexities of marital separation can be daunting, which is why I sought professional advice before broaching the subject with my spouse. Fortunately, I found a service offering free initial consultations over the phone, which proved to be a pivotal resource in my decision-making process. During the call, the advisor was not only empathetic but also highly knowledgeable, providing clear, actionable advice tailored to my situation.
The guidance I received was straightforward and easy to comprehend, which was exactly what I needed during such an overwhelming time. The advisor helped me understand the legal framework of divorce and briefly outlined the potential financial implications. This information was crucial in helping me formulate a strategy that would be fair and equitable for both parties involved.
Overall, the free phone consultation was invaluable. It equipped me with the confidence and clarity needed to discuss the future with my husband and to pursue a path that considers the well-being of both of us. For anyone standing at this difficult crossroad, I highly recommend seeking similar expert advice to better understand your options and rights. This service has certainly been helpful to me.

Friendly and Informative

Jo and her receptionist Debbie were both extremely polite and friendly, and that really helped me as I was anxious about seeking advice as it all seems so formal and daunting.
Jo gave me confidence in my decisions and broken-down how I needed to apply for a divorce through the government website (which was making me extremely anxious). I felt reassured and was able to apply for help with my fees thanks to her recommendation, and that has helped me significantly!
