After reflecting on a long and emotionally draining case the one constant and positive experience was with Mimi and Hannah H. They walked me through the process. Gave clear and good advice. They were reassuring and knowledgeable throughout. From the beginning to the end I have felt supported and heard.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and expertise provided by Mimi Hancott during a challenging time in my life. She was always prompt in responding to my questions and went above and beyond to ensure the best outcome for my family. She handled my custody case with sensitivity and professionalism, ensuring my child's best interests were always the priority. I cannot thank Mimi enough for her incredible support during and after proceedings. She is not only highly knowledgeable but also compassionate, making a difficult time much easier to navigate. Her clear communication and attention to detail ensured I always felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. Thanks to her hard work, I got custody that has allowed me to move forward with peace of mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mimi to anyone seeking a family solicitor. I am also very grateful to Hannah, (Mimi's assistant) for her help throughout the process. They are a great team and are blessings in peoples lives. Their expertise, kindness and commitment make them an exceptional choice, that cannot be described in words.
