Lucy is exactly the kind of person I needed on my side while going through a difficult divorce. When emotions were running high, Lucy’s steady and pragmatic demeanour shone through. I am eternally grateful to Lucy for everything she did for me throughout my divorce proceedings; nothing was ever too much. She worked tirelessly for me and my children and she was always at the other end of the phone to give guidance and calm my nerves. I trusted Lucy to get things done the right way, the first time and she never let me down.

A Client

I am very happy with the service I received from Lucy. She was very prompt and understanding.

She always managed to take the reduce the stress levels and was always willing to explain, and explain again, anything I didn’t understand. She was very patient with me!
