Investors In People

“In terms of feedback, I can’t really fault the support you [Kulbir Rahi] have provided me over the past couple of years, and in particular, your responsiveness at key times has been appreciated. I’ve been very happy with the advice given and I think your recent support in coming to a sensible settlement has been perfect. Your drafting has been excellent, and I have been very happy with the way we have worked between us to get the message across I wanted to throughout.”


“I would like to thank you [Anna Ferro] very much for all your hard work and persistence with my case. You have been immensely helpful in navigating a highly acrimonious divorce with an ex-husband who is determined to be as obstructive as possible!”


“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for all the advice and support offered by yourself over the last two years. You have made a challenging and at times very draining situation easier to deal with and I can’t thank you enough for that.”


“Thank you for all your hard work, the times when you have spoken to us, your advice to us, your messages in the evening, your wise words… honestly the list goes on!!”


“We would advise anyone to go and see you if they’re struggling with anything they need legal representation with.”


“From the first meeting, Robyn exerted warmth and understanding. Her kindness, clarity of explanation and patient understanding of my emotional state encouraged me to ask her to represent me in my divorce proceedings. As the process has progressed, she has always listened to my concerns and intuition regarding my husband’s plans. This meant she was able to take measures to protect me and bring about some action to the proceedings. Indeed, our decision has proved the right one as, otherwise, I would be in an even more difficult position and further away from any conclusion.

She has been vigilant in her updates and recognised when I needed a phone call rather than an email, to reassure, explain and offer a pastoral care. I trust her implicitly and would recommend her to anyone requiring a family law solicitor”
