Cohabitation agreement
I have previously used Anita Toal and I wouldn't go to any other firm because she gives me all the information I need to make the correct decision. Anita gave me all the pros and cons of the agreement and what will need to happen in the future when my circumstances change in the relationship.

A job well done
I asked for a Separation Deed, Anita's knowledge was superb and she asked some good questions. I achieved the outcome I'd ask form so I'm completely satisfied.

Anita - Family Court
I received excellent service from Anita. The advice that was given was very appropriate and put into language I could understand. Anita went above and beyond for me and the outcome was amazing! The whole process was a difficult one especially due to the content but Anita continued to maintain a positive professional manner. I will be forever grateful.

Professional knowledgeable helpful Solicitors
I found Anita extremely helpful and understanding. She remained professional and honest throughout the process. Always aiming to keep costs low as I am a single parent on a low income. She was always very knowledgeable and fair throughout too.

Simple & easy divorce proceedings
I was made aware at the very start the cost and actually got billed just under expected costs. I never had a problem or issue throughout the whole process. This is the second time I've used this firm for legal matters and I certainly won't hesitate for a third time.

Family Law/Divorce
Anita has been, without question, fundamentally key to my divorce and family law process. She is not only clearly extremely experienced but also listened and carried out exactly what was asked. Anita is calm yet a force, she won for me what I asked of her and I am so grateful to her and her associates. Please look to Anita before going to a larger firm as on our experience she provided everything I would expect from a big city firm. Five stars though more if I could.
