My divorce has been one of the most difficult periods of my life and I had put off the prospect of instructing a family solicitor for some time. Nicola Fraser has been a great support and always have no-nonsense advice to help me feel that there was light at the end of the tunnel. She made the whole process much easier and my only regret is that I didn’t instruct her sooner.

Nicola and the family law team at Gorvins are the most amazing, informative and helpful people and I appreciate all the help they have given me on this matter.

I also wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding professional support throughout my divorce, financial proceedings and house transfer/purchase. You have always been 100% responsive to my questions and issues and a constant reassuring anchor through very dark and difficult times. If you had not pulled out “all the stops” I would not be in my house now!

Linzi has been an outstanding practitioner throughout my case. Her professionalism is second to none and always goes above and beyond; whether this is in the form of a phone call or a quick email, you are always at ease knowing she is on your side. Her meticulous approach brings about a level of preparation that covers any eventuality, even something yet to arise! Her correspondence is swift and always takes the time to make sure you are fully aware of how things are moving and is always on hand for any pearls of wisdom. Linzi is able to guide you through the whole process and gives honest advice that enable you to make informed choices that ultimately lead to what you want. She is able to write incredible correspondence to opposing firms that can highlight their incompetence wonderfully! Gorvins are privileged to have her as part of their team, and I for one am glad she is representing me.
