Calm, Kind and Effective Divorce Lawyer
I have been lucky not to need support from law firms before my divorce, and feel extremely lucky to have landed on Expatriate Law in my first researches into firms that could help me.
My first contact with Expatriate Law set the tone for the rest of my experience with them. I spoke with one of the Managing Partners who was compassionate to my situation, I was in a state of shock, but also gave clear, calm and practical advice on what needed to happen. Her advice led me to engage Expatriate Law to help me with my divorce. I worked with Hero Lomas on my case.
Hero and her team helped me understand the legal processes that I needed to go through: divorce, asset separation and child custody. She also aided me in making the right decisions about what to pursue in the UK versus in France, and was instrumental in finding me an excellent Family Law firm in Paris to help with the custody procedure.
Her advice was always clear and practical, and along with her compassionate approach to the case, always helped me to stay calm and stable throughout the process, even when things appeared extremely dark and difficult. I cannot over stress how valuable having a calm and compassionate person who understands the law inside out is when going through a difficult divorce; Hero is such a person.
The results of her work were amazing. My divorce and the separation of assets was also achieved in under a year, which is by all accounts extremely fast. This was done against a background of an spouse who made every step a battle.
I cannot recommend Hero or Expatriate Law highly enough. They are amazing!

Excellent and professional care
From our first initial conversation I felt confident that Hero understood what I needed. She provided excellent direction which resulted in as smooth an outcome as was possible, whilst at the same time being attentive to my viewpoint. At all times she was swift to respond to any concerns that arose. I felt a constant reassurance from knowing she was on top of my situation and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone going through a divorce.

Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Antonia highly enough. Not only was the legal knowledge and advice first class, but the support and kindness she showed was unforgettable. I felt so incredibly supported and cared for during the worst time in my life. I knew I could trust Antonia to defend me and fight for me in whatever way was appropriate and had full trust in her. The communication was incredible and I felt she always made time for me, even if it was just a phone call to reassure me or check in on me. I would recommend her to anyone.

Excellent, insightful, sensitive service
I had a pretty straight forward divorce but there were moments where different advice could have taken the whole thing down a different road. I wanted it to be as non confrontational as possible and Hero and Antonia were there all the way to give me good, balanced advice when I needed it.

I have worked with Hero Lomas to help navigate the UK portion of a challenging divorce (post a 30 year plus marriage, for an ex-pat living in the US). Hero has been the consummate professional: great legal knowledge, pragmatic and realistic, able to handle very stressful subjects and bring clarity and some ease, provides regular updates and is a true pleasure to work with despite the challenge of the situation. I highly recommend Hero and Expatriate Law.
