Divorce/Financial settlement

Joanne provided excellent practical advice and was very supportive throughout the whole process. She actively encouraged us to try and come to a solution between ourselves and thus save the costs of going to court and proved herself to be a very able negotiator. Highly recommended!

Jo was superb in every sense, both on a professional and personal level, I cannot recommend her strongly enough. She made a difficult and traumatic time much smoother and much more straightforward using simple and understandable language. Quite simply she is the best you could ever hope for.
