I have had the benefit of working with Ms Amy Woolfenden on three sets of challenging care proceedings over the past year as a child’s solicitor supporting my role of Guardian. I have found Ms Woolfenden’s approach towards families to be extremely thoughtful, understanding and empathetic. The professional relationship I have with Ms Woolfenden is one that I can fully trust in. Ms Woolfenden is a child’s solicitor whom I have come to greatly rely upon for her knowledge, support and guidance. I would be delighted to work with her again on future cases, and would highly recommend her to other children’s Guardians.

I have regularly instructed Amy to represent me as a guardian in several care proceedings and would be delighted to do so in the future. Guardians are expected to instruct a variety of solicitors and indeed I do, however, I always ensure that I have one case ‘on the go’ with Amy because I find her efficient, effective, attuned and personable; qualities that are vital when working with difficult and complex cases. She is thorough and balanced in her approach, readily and appropriately challenging when necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other court guardians.
