“Laura is a fantastic and caring advocate and I would wholeheartedly recommend her for family hearings. I felt incredibly supported by her during the family court process, as she knew exactly how to get the best outcome for my children at the hearing.”
“Laura is an incredibly skilled barrister for whom I have the greatest professional admiration and respect. Laura successfully defended me against more than 200 false allegations of domestic abuse and skillfully dismantled two local authority reports and a Cafcass section 7 report in one of the most complex and high conflict private law cases the court has ever experienced. Her cross examination is exceptional, razor sharp and fearless. Laura achieved an outcome in a one day final hearing that could have easily have been a 5 day hearing due to its complexity and intensity. Against the odds, she achieved me a shared lives with order with an equal division of time with my children. You can place your full trust in Laura to support you in Family Court journey (which, for me, was the most traumatic experience of my life), to know the facts and minutiae details of your case, to cut through the issues with a laser focus, and to achieve the outcome you and your children deserve. Laura commands the court room and, importantly in my opinion, Judges listen to and respect her. I would highly recommend Laura as the barrister of choice if you want results for your children.”
