Thank you.

I had so much to sort out and was full of fear and trepidation. Meeting Jennifer Murray was the first step. She advised me the whole way. It was hard going sometimes but the end result was empowering and a great achievement. Without Jennifer I’m sure my life wouldn’t be as happy as it is now.

Ed has been amazing throughout the last two years as my life literally fell apart during divorce. He is so knowledgeable and helped me to secure an 750% increase on the initial deal I’d agreed with my ex husband. He helped me understand every step of the process and was amazing at advocating on my behalf. Alongside being pleased with the outcome I’ve had, for me the biggest positive is that Ed was always, always, kind and encouraged me to find the strength to keep fighting for a better outcome. Ed is warm and engaging, easy to communicate with and most importantly is very clear that he is on your side. It’s been a real privilege to have him in my corner and I genuinely cannot rate him highly enough. 5 stars is the max I can give but he easily deserves at least 127.

I chose to take the steps towards seeking a Child Arrangements Order independently, but with one-hour consultations for general advice in advance of each of the two court hearings. Having initially booked the free consultation with Edward, I proceeded to book an appointment with him at each of the two steps and his practical advice provided me with the orientation I needed and enabled me to engage with the court process confidently.

When a relationship ends, this is never a happy or comfortable period in anyone’s life. The care and professionalism provided by KJSmith has been exemplary.
From my very first appointment, gratis, with your team (which went over time however was so informative and important for me) - I knew from this point you cared as a Service.
I didn’t have a lot of money nor did I have a lot in the way of assets, however Edward coached me through the process so considerately, prepping me for the next steps and being there when I had questions- I actually resolved my marriage feeling more confident and stronger than before, of which I credit Ed for helping to develop this in me. I have taken the knowledge I gained in this chapter with me in other areas of my life…
Thank you KJSmith and Edward in particular.

It has meant a lot to me.
