Deborah handled the case with great professionalism and understanding. She was sympathetic and understood my point of view, but at the same time pointed out different positions. I would highly recommend Wollens in general and Deborah Barker in particular.

Deborah's dedication has ensured myself and children have stability!
If you are looking for a Solicitor to deal with both Financial and Childcare issues relating to a divorce I can not recommend Deborah Baker and the team at Wollens enough!
Above and beyond is an understatement, my previous solicitors were difficult to get hold of, slow to react and only appeared to care about the money rather than my situation and a fair outcome for myself, my children and the issues we were facing around childcare arrangements. It was only on a rare occasion I didn't get Deborah when I phoned her direct line and for me this was reassuring during some of the tough peaks of my divorce.
"I've been so impressed with your service and always made yourself available for advice and often a sanity check for myself, I feel if I hadn't have switched over to you and Wollens mid way I would have been looking at a very different outcome!"
