A year ago, my daughter's father issues proceedings against me. I'm sure if anyone has ever been to court they can understand the stress, emotions and fear it brings. I was lucky enough to have Anne Deller acting for me, with support of trainees. She is and was amazing. Compassionate, professional, friendly, understanding and incredibly personable. Very good at managing my emotions (and there were many) as well as providing insightful legal advice. She agreed to setting up a payment plan for which I will always be grateful as legal proceedings can be expensive and as a lone parent, I just did not have the finances to pay it all upfront. Legal cases are not about winning and sometimes the history between appellants and respondents can overshadow the wishes, feelings and what is best for the child. Anne always ensured that I put my daughter's wishes, feelings and wants first but would nevertheless ensured that I was given the final say in how to proceed. The order did go in our favour, my daughter and I have been able to get our lives back and she has been our steadfast throughout. All I can say is that if you do end up in court and you do go into battle - instruct Anne Deller. (Just a note to say that I have used Clifton Ingram twice - once for my divorce (clean break order) and again for the contact order and both have been in my favour. Stats don't lie!)
