What Our Clients Say
I liked that Karen’s initial consultation was a packed hour of information and she got straight to the point of what I needed to know. Throughout this process I was impressed with how quickly everything happened; from Karen’s responses to all the questions I had to the fact she subscribes to the latest online systems tp facilitate fast divorce.

Your swift handling of my request, our subsequent to-and-fro to complete the process, etc. was a welcome efficient, personal and professional experience. Thank you for making this final step so slick and easy in what is a stressful time.
Mr M, Essex
I have already recommended Karen to a friend of mine. Her service was excellent. Karen was always there to support and guide me, and she helped me to understand the various and sometimes confusing financial aspects of my divorce. Indeed, I have some regrets about not engaging Karen sooner to undertake the shuttle mediation process which was necessary towards wrapping up my case.
