‐ Client of Rachel Browne

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hannah Perry (lawyer), Michael Gration (barrister), and the administration team for their outstanding support during my family case, which they handled on a pro bono.

Hannah Perry was truly a ray of sunshine throughout this challenging process. She is a remarkable listener and consistently provided clear, genuine, and compassionate advice. Her professionalism and warmth made me feel understood and supported every step of the way.

Michael Gration, an exceptionally skilled and experienced barrister, was equally impressive. In court, he demonstrated sharp insight, precision, and a deep understanding of family law. He truly “hit every nail on the head,” presenting my case with confidence, intelligence, and great care.

If you are seeking a legal team who will fight for you while keeping your family’s best interests at heart, who aim to unite rather than destroy. I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to their law firm. Their dedication and expertise made all the difference.”
