"When my ex-husband first walked out on me and my two children who were just 4 and 6, I thought my whole world had just fallen apart. I still had to look after the children, the normal daily chores, work and keep a smile on my face and keep things as normal as possible.
I was recommended by a friend to approach Kirstie as my solicitor and was immediately put at ease about my future and the future of my children. After 16 years of being with a person who I thought I was going to be with for the rest of my life, I was in pieces and didn't know which way to turn. My ex had left me and was obviously having an affair. Kirstie was fantastic and was there for me in work hours and out of hours to help me emotionally as well as with the divorce. She put my mind at ease not only on a professional level but has helped me to accept the hardship of my kids not being with me all the time and has slowly brought me round to the idea that 'life will get better and easier" and the light at the end of the tunnel was shining through although there were times i thought it never would.
Any questions I had were answered quickly and on a level I could understand - I honestly felt that I was her only client! When times got really difficult Kirstie always makes you look at things in a logical manner although you may be having thoughts way from sensible as your emotions start to take over! and she fights your case "like a dog with a bone!" until she gets what she wants and most of the time she gets it! I would never want to be on the opposition. Kirstie is a wonderful person, extremely professional, excellent at her job, and I can't thank her enough for sorting my divorce and helping me get through the most difficult year of my life. After two house moves and an emotional year, I am very happy and manage to get along with my ex husband for the sake of the children. I have even started dating again!"

"It wouldnt have mattered how many times i was told or heard " Life will get better " I just didn't believe it !!!!!!
Sitting totally numb and devastated whilst cradling my beautiful 10 month old baby girl, my world had fallen apart. After weeks of living in hope of my husband coming back, I received a letter from a solicitor, and then I knew I needed some professional advice myself.
A quivering, skinny, broken wreck , I had a meeting with Kirstie Law who was incredibly gentle and understanding with enormous empathy. Kirstie was at all times (during my difficult, distressing and long winded divorce and financial settlement) there for me at the drop of a hat and incredibly prompt, professional and efficient let alone friendly and concerned, which I always felt was genuine and more than she needed to do. (I can actually recall a phone/text message that Kirstie sent over a weekend asking after my daughter who had been poorly).
Kirstie walked by my side into court on a few occasions telling me not to worry, and making a very distressing, nerve wracking situation as easy as could be possible!!!!
I found myself confiding in Kirstie regarding my daughter and my feelings and how "life was sooo hard" dealing with all the turmoil for us both, and yet again, even Kirstie assured me that "life will get better".......and that is where I feel our lovely friendship started. Kirstie started to tell me about her wedding plans and her own "life" and ironically, I knew her lovely husband to be, as we had grown up living very near each other!!!!!
Kirstie's beautiful wedding came round, and I was lucky enough to be involved with it and it was wonderful. Not only that, but I had started dating and Kirstie was the first to know about it......very exciting......and after all, Kirstie knew the ins and outs, and knitty gritty details of what I had been through, so all I wanted was Kirstie's seal of approval.
When Kirstie had her first gorgeous daughter and she had reached 11 months, Kirstie turned to me and said "this is how old ------- was when I first met you, and your husband had just left you!" Given the enormous understanding Kirstie had shown at the beginning I think the realisation had hit......
I must confess that by this time my "dating" had gone from strengh to strenghth and I was about to marry the love of my life and total lifelong soulmate (which of course I was never going to do again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and Kirstie, her husband and beautiful daughter were not going to miss it in a million years!
"LIFE IS GREAT NOW".........and just as mine and Kirstie's lovely friendship continued, so did our families...... and Kirstie's 2nd beautiful daughter and my 2nd wonderful child came into the world only hours apart in the same hospital, so they are known as our gorgeous "Twins".
Six happily married years later to the love of my life, great daddy to both my children and best friend I could ever wish for I wouldnt change a thing !!!!!!!!!!!!! LIFE GETS BETTER"

"As my ex and I had agreed most aspects of our divorce amicably, I decided to fill in the forms and file them myself. This was relatively easy and inexpensive to do, however in order to finalise proceedings, I sought Kirstie's advice for the consent order. Kirstie explained the full implications of the different parts of the order and it was completed quickly. Kirstie's input was comprehensive but not patronising and put my mind at ease. The order was granted straight away, meaning that the whole procedure was resolved quickly and cheaply.
Kirstie has also provided invaluable, practical and pragmatic advice during and since my divorce to ensure that my relationship with my ex has stayed civil:- it even progressed to "amicable" last night when we were able to laugh about our daughter's antics!"
