    Zoe definitely ticked all the boxes below. she was always understanding of me and my needs and we built a good relationship right from the outset. I was constantly surprised at how swiftly she would get back to me if I had left a phone message or email with a question. She was great at keeping me informed about progress and understood the pace I needed to go with this matrimonial matter. I felt she was rooting for me, though very sensitive to the relationship in which I was operating, and careful to preserve what was good. I felt very welcomed into the offices on the occasions I came to meet with Zoe and the staff on the front desk were always efficient, welcoming and friendly– a very important role as clients come in various states of anxiety. Finally, Zoe was always very clear in explaining Legal procedures and process, clear on the costs and in giving advice. The office facilities were pleasant to come into. I would wholeheartedly recommend Zoe to anyone needing help with a matrimonial issue. I would certainly return to her if I need further help.

    I would not hesitate to recommend Zoe to anyone who is facing a divorce. At such difficult times, Zoe was a life line. A solicitor and therapist wrapped in one. Zoe is lovely and empathetic and at the same time very sharp, strategic and professional. Thank you Zoe, you have been a very reassuring presence through such a terrible time.

    Highly recommend Abbie Duncan. Abbie was amazing, she kept me updated with everything that was happening and going to happen. She always explained everything to me and made a very scary time not feel so scary.
