Mat was amazing and I can’t thank him enough for all of his hard work and support for the last 18 months, he was always fighting my corner in the best way he could and without him my family wouldn’t have been reunited and in the happy place we all are now. I would highly recommend this firm for anyone dealing with any family law issues, they are fantastic!

I would like to thank Andy and Cathryn in support wholeheartedly for their work. Thanks for everything, we have had an outstanding result from the most arduous of circumstances that have undoubtedly enabled a little child to have a far better start to life than she would otherwise have had.

Mat is my solicitor. Shout out to him for helping me get my baby back!!! So thankful. Been there since day 1 quite literally, giving me "dad chats" when I needed telling and things. It's amazing how much he has done for me because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be where I am. And shout out to everyone else there who just used to let me sit in the waiting area when I used to turn up hours before my appointment and offering me coffees and that. You are all amazing and I will be forever greatful for what you have done for me. On to a better life with my daughter now!!
