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.
She had established a good rapport with the client and the interpreter. She prepared excellent notes of the evidence. At one point we had to share our note to try and agree a note of the expert’s evidence and it became clear that Hannah’s note was by far the best and most comprehensive. All counsel commended her for this.
She was a good source of support for me an actioned any request I made quickly and without fuss.
