“Thank you so much for everything that you have done whilst working with us. I think that we were both hesitant as to what the mediation process would be like. What could have been very difficult and stressful has been done in a way that has made us both feel at ease and also given me peace of mind that what we are doing is the fairest way possible for both of us to move forward.”
Mrs W
“Hi Richard, I’d like to thank you for all your help in allowing [Mrs W] and I to reach an amicable agreement which is manageable for us both as we move into the next chapters of our lives; I truly believe we wouldn’t have reached the same outcome without your assistance and guidance so I’m really grateful for all your help.”
Mr W
“Richard Buckley represented me in, what turned out to be, highly contested court proceedings. Richard was very professional, knowledgeable and meticulous in his approach and he fought my corner when necessary. My divorce was not an easy one; it was very stressful but Richard always listened, put me at ease and took time to explain everything to me, making sure I understood his advice. He is very good at listening and keeping me on track. Richard doesn’t make me feel like a number, but a valued client. If anyone is looking for a family solicitor, I would not hesitate in recommending Richard.”
