I was extremely impressed by the hard work and experience of Karen who guided me through the journey of my divorce.
Karen is excellent at her job and I would recommend her company to anyone that would require a divorce or financial settlements for their divorce…

Honest & straight-talking solicitor

5

Karen is a straight-talking no-nonsense solicitor who will not sugarcoat her advice or tell you what you want to hear. Although this may not always be the most comfortable of experiences (who wants to hear the truth anyway). Karen's approach cut short what could have been a lengthy and costly divorce.

Perfect Service

5

I went with Karen after she came highly recommended and since I felt the solicitor I was using at the time was not doing a good job. And I am so glad I did.
Karen was very informative and helpful all along the way and I got the best result possible thanks to her knowledge and experience.

I've worked with Karen on a number of cases and find her to be an excellent family solicitor who clearly cares about her clients.
