Testimonials

"I am a Family Consultant who has had the benefit of working directly with Claire Trundley in the collaborative process on two occasions this year.

With a true flair for collaborative practice, Claire clearly has the unique qualities required of a family solicitor to work in this manner. With each successive collaborative 5 way meeting, Claire has demonstrated again and again her desire to grow and develop as a collaborative practitioner.

There is one skill in particular of Claire's that is worth mentioning in its own right, and that is her ability to ask challenging questions of the other side without it becoming cross examination. This is a skill that I rarely witness in a collaborative solicitor and worth its weight in gold.

I would recommend using Claire as a collaborative counterpart without hesitation."

“I would like to thank you and all your team, from reception to your secretary for the excellent and professional service I received during my long drawn out divorce case. Although somewhat difficult at times, you always took the time to explain things in a manner I could understand, which was very much appreciated. I certainly feel that without your expertise the outcome would not have been such a good one.”

"I hope that my family and friends never have cause to use a solicitor but if they do, you will come highly recommended by myself . Thank you once again."
