“Thank you so, so much for all of your help and advice. You really helped us turn the corner.”

“Thanks to your experience and enlightenment I quickly became informed about what was going on and what I could do to take an active role in determining the outcome. Thanks to you I was able to see beyond the frustration and upset and take in the wider view of where this was headed and how I could both protect my interests, be strong and, above all, keep things simple, affordable and reasonable. You were there, every step of the way, and your friendship, knowledge and experience was not only a comfort but, I believe, the most valuable resource I had throughout everything. From that first phone call to the agreement reached in court I have you to thank for keeping me sane, keeping me calm and helping me to achieve a happy settlement to what would otherwise have been a hugely expensive and distressing situation. Thank you so much for all that you have done, listening to me, advising and helping me these past months, and thank you for still being there now, as I iron out the last creases in my divorce whilst looking forward to what now promises to be a bright future.”

“Laura showed great empathy, she communicated with me as a human being. She understood my situation and we had a real connection. Key to our winning the case was her ability to give me an understanding of the nuances of the court system: having given me the confidence to be me she then stepped back.”

“Having lost all trust in my solicitors, I was determined to change firms. I did not understand how to gain the trust and confidence that I still needed to fight for the practical side of my life. I had to remain in a foreign country for as long as my children needed me, with no real means to make a living. I met two firms in London and it was at one of these where the Partner I saw recognised in me my main struggle. Part of my struggle up until this point had been that I did not understand the tactics my old solicitors had been using and I felt I had no way to question their proposals, to understand their ways or even to give them instructions, especially as English is my second language. I felt much of what was being said passed me by and I was “in their hands” and did as they said. What I needed now was a third independent party, who understood the complexity of the Family Law and the Partner recommended I meet with Laura. We met before meetings with my solicitors and she was there to follow up all the steps, to register all the details and to “translate them to me” if needed. She shared, supervised and helped me approve all the correspondence I received from my former husband and from my solicitor when I did not even know where to start! Laura occasionally talked to different members of my family in Spain to reassure them when we all had doubts. Laura was always available and reacted quickly to any emergency. She has the ability to put things into perspective, to give the soundest of advice on every occasion, and to explain her approach. I find her knowledge both of Law and human nature the most reassuring experience anyone in my situation could count on. Her support as a Mackenzie friend during one attendance at Court was priceless. I believe that both my solicitor and I have benefited from having Laura with us, as she has always taken an interesting and deeply thoughtful approach to our work. She has taken the burden off our shoulders when the solicitor had wanted to get me going and I felt the need to stop, breathe in and out and cry. Although the divorce proceedings are over now, there are still subtle but painful matters in the exercise of “a Life under Court Orders”. Even now, I could not do without Laura's calm and sound advice.”

“I want to say how indispensable Laura has been to me. She really has gone above and beyond offering so much support for my ordeal. I don't think I could have kept going without her help. My solicitor was also very impressed with the document she drafted for me, and did very little else to the document, so you have also saved me quite a bit of money.”

“Laura is incredibly patient, she listens and considers everything. All her decisions are fair and measured, she supports you with the practicalities but goes above and beyond in terms of the emotional part of the process. She makes the process as stress-free as possible. She was my rock. I simply couldn't have managed without Laura guiding me through this difficult period in my life. Anyone starting the divorce process should ensure Laura is their first port of call, for impartial and knowledgeable advice. She is a good complement to the lawyers while helping to keep the legal bills manageable. She is 110% value for money.”

“You are amazing! And your help last night was invaluable. I really value your wisdom and experience on all this.”

“Without Laura I would never have got through it. She takes as much stress away from me as possible. She manages my husband brilliantly. She's an incredible person, she's tough, she won't take any rubbish AND she's a third of the price of my top lawyer.”

“You will be my first port of call if I want good advice and guidance in the future on any other matters as you certainly knew what you were doing.”

“When I got in touch with Laura, I was stuck in a three-year procedure trying to settle with my husband and avoid court proceedings. I had spent lots of money with my solicitor with very little effect. I was quite desperate to find a solution. Laura arranged to meet me very quickly and provided me with solutions in only a half hour meeting. She organised a second meeting with a Barrister who at last offered me a way out. I then instructed my solicitor to act according to that sound advice and finalised my three year procedure in two weeks. Had I known Laura earlier, I would have saved a lot of money and time. I could not recommend too much to get a meeting with Laura and seriously consider your options. The best money I have ever spent in my three year divorce negotiations.”
