I am Gemma Richardson, a specialist family solicitor in Kent, accredited by the Law Society. I have a wealth of experience in dealing with the full spectrum of family law issues. I provide clear, and straightforward advice to my clients, and I am often commended for my no nonsense approach.
I deal with a range of clients from varying walks of life, from divorcing housewives and house husbands to high net worth divorcing entrepreneurs. No matter the case, you will always receive a high level of service from me; client care is incredibly important to me and I am passionate about ensuring that my clients are well looked after.
I understand that approaching a matrimonial solicitor can be a very difficult step to take, particularly under such emotionally charged circumstances. I will be on hand to listen to the problems you are facing and offer strategic advice as to the most appropriate step for you to take.
In some instances, the advice I provide may not be what you want to hear. My role is not to encourage unrealistic expectations, but to ensure you know where you stand from the off to enable you to focus on our joint aim: achieving the best outcome possible for you.
I have a keen eye for detail, and can tactically plan, from an early stage, which route will be best for my clients to take. Not all cases are the same, so my focus is entirely on you and your individual needs.
I am a member of the Law Society Family Law Accreditation Scheme, which is a mark of excellence.
You will see that I have opted for a neutral theme running through the website, with photographs of landscapes, and nature. I made the decision to shy away from the standard images you see all too often relating to family difficulties, divorce, and separation, to promote a more neutral and less conflict ridden space for you to browse.

Financial Settlement
Gemma was introduced to me by a mutual aquatience after a really bad time with another lawyer.
All I can say is that Gemma has been amazing. Over the 18months + that I have known her, she has aways been very honest,protective and understanding, nothing was too much trouble. Gemma has always kept me fully informed and has responded quickly,also keeping my costs to a minimum.
I can say that she has not had it easy dealing with my ex, who was representing himself,vile is not strong enough.
I would not hesitate to recommend her. I am glad that she was in my corner.
I in the middle of this i was diagnosed with cancer, she could not have supported me more,took so much pressure off, enabling me to concentrate on my treatment
I am so glad that you got me a such brilliant outcome.
Gemma, I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done. You are a very amazing lady. I wish you all the best for the future.

Excellent throughout
Gemma was so helpful in my time of need. She was patient but firm with me when I needed to act. Gemma thinks 5 steps ahead at all times, and strategy was always in place. Despite being overly anxious, Gemma never made me feel like a problem. Will definitely pass on her details to anyone that needs support in one of the scariest times of their life.

Complex Children Case
Really great to deal with. Knowledgeable and frank advice. Gave the other side a really tough time with every mistake. Judge commented that it was a "brilliantly prepared case - I wish all cases before me were as good".
Even the barrister (who was excellent) complimented Gemma, who apparently is known in Kent as "Lady MacBeth"!
Thank you Gemma for everything. My girls and I are happy living together and things improve every week.
