Gavin and his team were brilliant they took on my divorce case after I'd received a terrible service from a previous law firm and they instantly turned it around for me and got me a fantastic result they also took on my child arrangements case and the result again was outstanding and my daughter now lives with me full time I'm so grateful for their help it was the best decision I made going to see them.

Once again Gavin was an encyclopedia of knowledge! I'm pretty convinced he knows the law and every possible angle more than people that have written the law themselves. Sound and honest advice whatever the way your case is going. I would use them again and recommend without hesitation!
