Professional clients say:

“I have instructed Lucy in private children and financial matters on many occasions over the last few years.  Lucy has an amazing way of building rapport with the clients.  She can empathise with their situation but is also able to deliver pragmatic and frank advice when it is needed.”

“Lucy has over the past few years been instructed by ourselves in respect of both financial issues within divorce and children issues.  We have sent to her cases where clients are more vulnerable and need a great deal of support within the court arena.  She has always shown sensitivity to their needs and her preparation of the case is well pleaded. Her feedback to ourselves is swift and thorough and with a clear explanation of the next steps required.

The feedback we receive from clients is very positive, they feel listened to and their case is meticulously prepared.  Lucy explains matters in a way the client can understand and they feel confident that she can put forward their case in the best possible way.”

Direct Public Access Clients say;

“I felt better the moment I met Lucy. She knew my case inside and out and really fought for me in court. It felt so good knowing I had someone really on my side.”

“I hope never to be back in court but if I am, I want Lucy with me. She really listened to me, and knows her stuff.  She was superb in court.”
