“Emily Sherwood was absolutely brilliant throughout my child arrangement proceedings.

“I want to thank you for your advice and suggested next steps including assistance with my final statement, which played a significant part in the court's final decision making, which I believe is in the best possible outcome for my children’s future. You got to the bottom of the issue straight away and provided simple and effective advice which made a huge difference to the outcome. I spent over a year using another solicitor whose advice in hindsight prolonged the whole process – whereas you simply got to the point which achieved the desired outcome. I also want to thank you for being there for me and caring about the best possible outcome happening, this spirit of going above and beyond makes your services very special and sets you aside from at least some of the other firms out there providing similar services. You are a credit to Rothera Bray. ”Mr H

“I will forever be grateful for what you have done for my daughter and I. The case was stressful from the beginning with the difficulties and challenges placed on me by the local authorities but with your help, support and advice I managed to get through it and get the result that I wanted. Any queries or questions I had, you were able to answer them and clear them up, whenever the local authority would go back on their words or delay their responses, you have been able resolve the issue. You represented me for who I truly am and not the picture that other parties were trying to paint of me. If I come across anybody going through a similar case as mine I would recommend you as their representative.”Abed Ibinimion
