Calm, steady and pragmatic guidance.
Sam provided calm, steady, and pragmatic guidance throughout what was a lengthy, challenging and often emotionally draining process. Divorce is rarely straightforward, and while legal support can be costly, I felt confident that no time or effort was wasted. Everything Sam undertook was purposeful and focused.
Thanks to Sam’s legal support, I was able to continue in a career I love and, most importantly, secure a stable home for my two children during their time with me. Without that, I fear I could have lost a significant part of my relationship with them.
It’s crucial to have a solicitor who stays focused on achievable outcomes and doesn't get drawn into the emotional turbulence that often accompanies separation. Sam did exactly that, and I’m very grateful for her help.
