I love the flexibility of being a Consultant so I can fit in my hours with my own personal life and also that of clients. I can work evenings and weekends which suits clients who work standard hours if necessary. There is no pressure to account for my whereabouts and I am comfortable that I can organise my time so as to look after my clients specialised requirements during the trauma of their relationship breakdown

Gail Cook - 2021

Gail has worked on my case for almost five years. Given that we have worked together for so long would indicate that my case is far from standard. However, despite the complexity, Gail has been steadfast in her loyalty and commitment. When you work with Gail, you need to accept... that she will tell you how it is. This can be sometimes hard but in doing so, Gail will lay out your options and advise you accordingly. Putting it simply, I couldn't have got through this period of my life without Gail's guidance. She works hard on your behalf and when you enter court, you can be rest assured she will do all she can to defend your position. For anyone who is experiencing domestic abuse - I would highly recommend Gail. She remains professional at all times but is also incredibly caring and compassionate.
