Extremely efficient - without compromising on being approachable.
After having tried to work through a legal case on my own, a recommendation was received to use Sydney Mitchell, and it is where I had the pleasure of having Gemma & Karen taking on my case. Their professionalism seemed to know no bounds and the case was dealt with effectively and quickly. If there was one wish, it would have been to engage them both, a lot earlier.

Fantastic service. Gemma was fabulous her strength and service was incredible.
Thanks to Gemma myself and my boys are now able to move forward securely to our future after a difficult financial resolution/divorce. Without her strength and encouragement I am not sure where we would be right now. A huge thank you to her for all of her support.

Gemma Whitchurch was exceptional. Her understanding and knowledge of the issues that I presented her with was a reassurance in every step of the way throughout the whole process. Hayley was outstanding also. Their support kept me going through a difficult and painful time. Professional, empathic, efficient, kind and realistic. Always felt that they were there.
