Laura was recommended to me by a fellow solicitor who had also been through the divorce process. She expertly dealt with the numerous financial issues that arose and was firm but practical in her approach to how she came to the final settlement. She was very clear and explained each step as we went along, which alleviated much of my anxiety. I am hugely grateful to her for her calm handling of the opposition solicitor who was extremely aggressive and for progressing the case to its conclusion.
