I instructed Claire last year when I started divorce proceedings. From day 1 she and Natalie were so professional and kind. Claire is very fair, she will set expectations and is unbiased, she does not comment on ‘he said she said’ matters unlike my husbands solicitor and all of her rationale is wholly justified. Unfortunately, I ran out of money as my husband was not acquiescing or paying me maintenance and I am currently unemployed due to disability and illness. However, Claire set out some really clear instructions on how I should proceed with my case in getting my fair share of the house, and the pensions etc. The one tiny tiny thing I would say is, I want more than 50%. My husband being my carer and abusing me has left me so vulnerable, that I feel I am entitled to more than 50% and I think myself and Claire butted heads a bit over this. Although I feel she probably had reasons to believe I should just go for 50/50 split, I wanted a little bit more. I trust and respect her process wholly though.
