Gemma was introduced to me by a mutual aquatience after a really bad time with another lawyer.
All I can say is that Gemma has been amazing. Over the 18months + that I have known her, she has aways been very honest,protective and understanding, nothing was too much trouble. Gemma has always kept me fully informed and has responded quickly,also keeping my costs to a minimum.
I can say that she has not had it easy dealing with my ex, who was representing himself,vile is not strong enough.
I would not hesitate to recommend her. I am glad that she was in my corner.
I in the middle of this i was diagnosed with cancer, she could not have supported me more,took so much pressure off, enabling me to concentrate on my treatment
I am so glad that you got me a such brilliant outcome.
Gemma, I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done. You are a very amazing lady. I wish you all the best for the future.

I recently started working with Abigail, and although we're just at the beginning of a long process, I’m already confident in her abilities. As a client with Autism and ADHD, I’ve found her ability to understand my unique challenges truly remarkable. She has been nothing but amazing in how she approaches everything with patience and care. We had a first hearing, and the result was much better than expected, thanks in large part to her excellent choice of barrister, John Nee. Abigal's expertise and strategic approach have made me feel reassured that I'm in the best hands for what's to come. I look forward to continuing our work together and highly recommend her for anyone looking for professional, thoughtful, and skilled support.

I had a difficult situation to navigate regarding a separation from my ex partner who I share children with. I had an hour's consultation with Abigail. She was approachable, honest, clear, knowledgeable and skilled. I felt reassured and armed with the correct information to navigate my situation with confidence. She was balanced yet tenacious. I would highly recommend Abigail.

Gemma has been absolutely amazing. After over a year working together, she has eased every worry and worked above and beyond anything I could have ever expected. I cannot recommend her services enough, as without her we would not have reached the outcome we wanted!

Gemma was so helpful in my time of need. She was patient but firm with me when I needed to act. Gemma thinks 5 steps ahead at all times, and strategy was always in place. Despite being overly anxious, Gemma never made me feel like a problem. Will definitely pass on her details to anyone that needs support in one of the scariest times of their life.
