This review is for a different branch.
A divorce is not an easy thing. We had ups and downs and Karen Dovaston kept me sane and informed at all stages. She went above and beyond to shield me from the worst of it all. It was painful and a difficult time for the family, but we came through it with her calm, confident approach to all the push back from me. Kudos to Karen all day long.
Karen Simone Dovaston from Dovaston Law Limited responded to this review on 07 April, 2025:
Hello Sharon, I am so touched by your review. Thank you. It means a lot.
