Support for divorce application
Pragmatic but essential guidance through divorce proceedings. It was very important to both of us that we didn't fall out and make a bad situation worse, and Nicola worked with me and my now ex-wife's solicitor to ensure that any queries or potentially contentious issues were quickly and positively closed down. The orders were proposed and agreed promptly and the whole exercise was as painless as it could be in the circumstances.

Removed A Lot Of The Stress From A Stressful Situation
Nicola & Bethany helped me to agree the Consent Order with my ex partner. At a time of great stress and anxiety they were an efficient, approachable and friendly team who got things done as quickly and effectively.
All of my interactions with them were professional but handled with sensitivity and empathy.
10/10

Recent divorce proceedings
I recently had to support my brother, who has an acquired brain injury, through divorce proceedings. Nicola Weeks provided excellent and clear advice in a friendly and direct manner which was crucial in enabling my brother to fully understand and engage with each stage of the process. It was clear that she had given careful consideration to planning our online meetings to discuss progress and next steps of the proceedings and was mindful of my brother’s situation and injury-related fatigue, each time sharing concise and easily digestible information and ensuring that these exchanges were not overlong. We were kept up to date regularly by Nicola and her paralegal, Bethany Rowe, throughout the process. They have both been an absolute pleasure to deal with and I have valued their kindness and consideration very much. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicola to anyone requiring specialist advice.
