“Professional, approachable, personable, helpful and reassuring”

"Claire has been brilliant for the first day in her office when I was in a haze, through to negotiations and court proceedings. She never let me get dragged into arguments, she focused on what was important which saved me time, money and my own sanity. Claire will also speak up if she thinks you need to focus or reassess. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"Claire ensures that that the initial advice assists in establishing reasonable expectations. She seeks to avoid a scenario where the client is surprised in court when results occur that they were not warned might happen. She is honest with clients about the strengths and weaknesses of their case – she does so with empathy but does now allow this to cloud her objectivity. The effect of this is that clients feel comfortable with her, can question, safe in the knowledge they will receive honest and objective answers. She is not a lawyer who just tells clients what they want to hear – rather appreciating that this is not helpful and can be disastrous.
She also understands that an early, balanced, and realistic assessment of the case will help identify the issues early on and permit of efficient time management – thereby preventing an unnecessary escalation of cost. My experience of working with Claire suggests that she ever mindful of costs and never loses sight of the fact that her client is paying for the process – their money should be spent wisely.
I have spoken to others who have been instructed by Claire. We are all of the same mind – her instructions are some of the best we receive - clear, thorough but succinct. "

Client Feedback
"Claire was a wonderful family solicitor and I’m not sure how I would have got through my divorce without her. From the very start, she focused on what really mattered to me. She was able to both keep a close eye on the finer detail and also held a bigger-picture view on what would be best for me overall in the divorce process. She was always careful to advise me where I could save money on solicitor’s fees and I had the sense that she genuinely cared that I didn’t waste money where it wasn’t necessary. As well as being kind and thoughtful, she was very on-the-ball and her legal expertise was excellent . She was quick to respond too any queries or legal issues that came up, and I was always impressed with the speed and quality of her letter writing. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone needing legal help with family issues."
