“I changed from a previous representative to Rothera Bray to handle a very messy and complicated case at almost the final stages. Gabriella and Hannah were amazing, they communicated with efficiency and empathy while remaining completely focused. The case was closed very shortly after Gabriella and Hannah worked there exceptional skills. Selecting an amazing advocate for court counsel I offer my highest recommendation for the this firm.”D.K.
“Truly Outstanding Family Law Representation. I can’t thank Rothera Bray enough for their outstanding support during my family court case. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the process, but also showed real understanding and compassion throughout a very stressful time. Their advice was clear, practical, and always focused on what was best for my child. They handled every challenge with professionalism and confidence, which gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows family court inside and out, while also treating you like a person rather than just a case, I couldn’t recommend Gabriella Kent and Hannah Lilley highly enough. ”CG
“I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received from Gabriella throughout the child arrangement proceedings. She approaches every aspect of the case with exceptional care, attention to detail, and genuine empathy. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand the unique complexities of my situation and the needs of my children. Her ability to balance legal precision with emotional sensitivity has been invaluable during such a difficult and personal process. What stands out most is how thoroughly she prepares — always referencing relevant case law, anticipating potential challenges, and providing clear, strategic advice tailored to my circumstances. I’ve never felt like just another client; she treats the case with the seriousness and dedication it deserves, and I feel fully supported and heard every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone navigating the family court system.”AH
“After an initial meeting with Gabriella Kent, I felt nothing but reassured that irrespective of outcome, they could impact my situation positively. Despite the matter on going, I do not believe things would have progressed as positively or promptly without their actions. Transparent throughout and felt confident that I was being heard. Would recommend but also not hesitate to instruct for any future matters.”Joseph
“I honestly can’t thank Gabriella and Hannah Lilley at Rothera Bray enough for everything they’ve done for me during my family court case. From the very beginning, Gabriella was reassuring, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me and my child. One of the biggest challenges I faced was getting legal aid, and while other firms either turned me away or didn’t want to deal with the process, Gabriella took it on without hesitation. She put in a lot of effort and worked through every detail to make sure I got the support I needed – something I’ll always be grateful for... I would absolutely recommend Rothera Bray to anyone looking for a caring and hardworking legal team. These two are a credit to the firm! ”W Ahmad
