“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.”
I’m extremely grateful for your diligence, professionalism and calm, pragmatic, straightforward approach.

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.

I worked with Trudi and Hannah on a long-running, intractable and very difficult case. Hannah was excellent, performing way beyond her experience. She was on top of the detail, very efficient (with me, the client, the court and the opposition) and effective. I was also very impressed with her client-handling, which was exemplary and befitted a solicitor of far more experience than she in fact has. Furthermore, she appeared unflappable and calm, as well as good humoured at all times, despite the many (and unusual) which arose in the case.
