I found Ms Ashcroft’s always calm, kind and wise demeanour, always timely and always professional communication and advice a lifeline. She supported me through one of the most challenging times of my life and always tried to do so in the most cost efficient way. She understood the crux of the problem and found ways in which to address it. I couldn’t recommend her or Beck Fitzgerald highly enough. Thank you so so much.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Molly Ashcroft for the amazing work that was put into my case, it was never an easy journey for me but the support and encouragement I got made it 100% easier. Molly was always there to explain something I didn’t understand and always on time with documentation. Amazing!! Would highly recommend Molly Ashcroft.
It is rare to find a solicitor who is both a leading expert in coercive control and safeguarding, and equally strong in complex financial remedy cases involving international assets, property structures, inheritance, and expert evidence. Molly Ashcroft was that person for me. For more than two years of lengthy and challenging proceedings, she ensured I was always supported, informed, and able to fight for what was fair and right.
I would just like to take this opportunity to say a massive, massive thank you for all your hard work and for being so great! This has been a difficult process for me but you have made everything so much easier.
