Top solicitor, knows everything there is to know
Nicky supported me through a custody battle, covering every base possible, making sure everything that needed to be said was said, knows the law inside out, kept me up to date at all times and most importantly believes in what she’s helping to fight for- I was incredibly anxious - understandably and she made me feel so at ease and nothing was ever too much to ask for. Friendly, kind, compassionate.. I won’t use anybody else.

Put my mind at rest
An untidy divorce (dealt with by a different law firm) left ambiguity around access to my children. Nicky helped simplify the situation and put my mind at rest that the outcome would not be as devastating as I feared (she was right). Her balanced advice helped me negotiate an agreement that both parties were happy with.
You often hear the phrase "the only winners are the lawyers" but this couldn't be further from the truth when it came to Harbour Law as they made me aware that some steps/correspondence would not add any strength to the case and would just mean an additional, unnecessary cost.
Would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.

Superb service....
Nicky and Charlotte were superbly professional throughout the entire divorce process. Keeping me informed at every step, answering inquiries quickly, diligently pointing out risks and pushing it through efficiently, certainly took a lot of the stress out of the situation.

Exceptional service
The legal representation I received from Nicky was of an exceptional standard. Nicky was referred to me by another legal representative because of her personal and professional approach and I was not disappointed. She is extremely sharp and thorough, detailed and committed to achieving results and made me feel highly valued as a client. Thank you for your support Nicky. I would highly recommend you to anyone

Nicky put my mind at ease and I cannot thank her enough for that.
When you're dealing with emotionally driven matters that involve your children, all you want is to get the best advice that's easy to understand and gets the best outcome for everyone. Nicky came highly recommended to me for a reason - she is friendly, approachable, and 100% knows her stuff.

I cannot recommend Nicky enough, she is very professional and exceptionally organised.
She is consistently aware of the needs of the case and the client. She makes it look easy. Also she is a lovely person. She has an ability to empathise and understand the client as a human, and was able to achieve understanding and trust swiftly with me. Nicky was great at making herself clearly understood. My case was very emotionally challenging and she was able to handle my emotions with grace and ease, but without false promise. Nicky showed genuine kindness and integrity, and where appropriate was able to steer me in the right direction effectively, guiding me through an upsetting process well. Nicky never once dropped the ball. She is so organised, motivated and aware. I cannot imagine a better family solicitor
