Initial Family Law meeting

This initial meeting went well with some very important points raised that had not been raised by my pervious solicitor. I am confident that Helen will support me closely in my divorce matters.

Last Will and Testament

Overall a satisfactory conclusion to a long process made so by the Will being contested.
More frequent updates would have been preferred, many weeks passed with no indication of any progress in the application.
