Why family law?

From the beginning I have been keen to have a career in law and my interest in family law increased when I undertook the family law module on my law degree.

I greatly enjoy working closely with our clients and assisting them through what can be a particularly difficult period in their lives.

What do others say about Harrogate Family Law?

• I would highly recommend HFL, in particular Andrew Meehan and Rebekah Maher. They both supported and guided me through a divorce that took the best part of 2 years, giving explanations throughout the process that I could understand. They were both understanding of my personal situation and my worries, they both brought about a positive conclusion. Rebekah supported me and my barrister in court when it over ran massively, with Andrew on hand on the phone in the office. I’m assuming Rebekah would have had to rearrange the rest of her day, but never once did she make it seem like an issue. Even last week after the divorce was sorted Rebekah helped me with an issue and educated me on how to manage it myself in future. HFL in my view went above and beyond to support me through some very stressful times and I couldn’t recommend them enough.
• I can’t speak highly enough of Harrogate family law. They guided me through a 3 year divorce battle with efficient, knowledgeable, professionalism. They were brilliant at communicating with me and I always felt in safe hands. Special mention to Rebekah Maher whose perseverance, patience and quiet, kind professionalism got me through a very tough time.
• Divorce isn’t easy. Especially when you’re leaving a complicated relationship as I was. That’s one of the main reasons I chose Andrew and Rebekah at Harrogate Family Law – just from an initial consultation I knew he and his firm had the expertise to help me navigate the process and offer advice whenever things got tricky. They were understanding of my situation, helped apply gentle pressure when things stopped moving and provided a professional service from start to finish. If you have concerns that a separation could be tricky, or just want a communicative partner who help you every step of the way, I would recommend giving them a call.
• I commend you and thank you for your diligence and patience during this marathon! I was so pleased to meet you at the FDR in Leicester and felt confident that I was in safe hands
