Trudi came highly recommended to me as a Divorce, Family and Finance lawyer at a vulnerable time of my life, with a very young child. I found Trudi to be extremely knowledgeable, always professional, personable and caring. She helped me navigate getting the best possible outcome for me and my son. My son is now an adult, yet over the years Trudi has continued to provide advice when asked or made introductions to support, and took interest in our welfare; that she does is amazing and I am grateful to this day. A brilliant Lawyer with a heart too! I am not sure if Trudi knows how much her dedication to her cases particularly complex cases, has transformed lives of others in a significant and positive way. Thank you Trudi for all that you did and continue to do; you are a superstar! The legal profession is better for having you in it, to continue the good fight. I cannot recommend Trudi highly enough.
I wanted to let you know how wonderful Hannah was in all my dealings with her before, during and after the hearing…The statement that she drafted for the client was of the same high quality one would expect of an experienced family lawyer. It was focussed and understated whilst at the same time getting across the points made by a difficult client in a clear and insightful way… I feel sure that she will become an excellent solicitor [when she qualifies] and you are lucky to have her.
Hannah you’re a very clever lady….Justice has finally been served…I’m free!!! I can’t believe it. I can concentrate on my own health and welfare now, without worrying how I’ll manage. If you can put a value on peace of mind this is it. Thanks so much Hannah.
