Both Preenay and Klaudia were excellent in supporting me with my child arrangements order; from the very first call with Preenay to discuss my situation, to the final hearing which Preenay attended, he's been very professional and informative throughout. Klaudia has assisted me mostly throughout the last 18 months and has always remained non-judgemental, professional and very understanding of my situation.

I have not seen my daughter in several years and did not have a great experience with the highly paid solicitors I used previously.

This is a great option if you do not have the funds for a lawyer. As you are getting the right information that is required for each step of the legal process. Very reasonably priced as well. Preenay is a gentleman and his team are always on hand to help.

Great advice from the first phone call, which then continues throughout each steps with clear explanations.
Unlike some solicitors the terms used aren’t confusing nor is it stressful trying to speak to somebody to never receive a call back!
A phone call is welcomed and if you leave a message somebody will always get back to you shortly.
