Private Law (Child Arrangements Programme)

I instructed Kevin for my final hearing. There were lots of issues and some new issues. It seem impossible to cover all the issues in one day. Kevin was able to understand my case, give child friendly advise and was able to separate real issues from those that don’t matter. I got a satisfactory out which will bring long term stability for my Son. Thank you Kevin

I cannot thank Mr Jackson enough for his dedication to the case, his work and his Clerks also. I have felt very listened to, guided and hugely supported during a very difficult time. Mr Jackson, I know has gone above and beyond in order to explain the legal system to me and work in the most cost effective way for me, for that I am extremely grateful.

Thank you very much for your professional and outstanding service”

“For what was the most stressful period of my life, Mr Styles was able to provide a reassuring presence.and I always believed he would achieve the best outcome for my family.  The case involved a particularly belligerent litigant in person, yet he was handled firmly, but fairly.

Under the direct access scheme, dealing with the court paperwork can still be quite onerous, but Mr Styles was on hand  to explain things to me, which saved me the additional costs of using a solicitor.  English is not my first language, but Mr Styles was very clear in his discussions with me.

I always felt that Mr Styles was in control of the situation no matter how difficult the other party tried to make it. He managed my expectations throughout, and often came up with pragmatic and workable solutions, including saving further costs by persuading the Judge to cancel the second day of the final hearing.

Now that I have come out the other side of the process, I am glad that I was your client.

I would be happy to recommend you and your firm to handle family proceedings.”

Mr Batt has acted for us before in child proceeding’s and he knew the case, so for us we wanted him to see the case through. We would like to take this chance to also Thank Mike Batt for all his hard work and seeing this through to the end and hopefully put closure to it. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the same situation and would certainly use him again if the need arose.

“I sought the services of Mr Jackson for my final Child Arrangements hearing via the Direct Access Scheme and found his representation to be invaluable. His professionalism and knowledge of the court is without question. From the outset, Mr Jackson demonstrated a solid understanding of the key issues surrounding the case and provided me with sound advice and clarity of direction that ultimately facilitated a successful outcome of equal, shared-care. I found his direct and honest approach to be unambiguous and reassuring, helping me to make some sense of; and; to take some stress out of the process. In short, his advice was right on the mark. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Jackson’s services for anybody experiencing the child arrangements process.”

Mr H Instructing Kevin Jackson – April 17

“Following an acrimonious separation, I sought the representation of Louisa for my FDHRA and Second Child Arrangements hearing via the Direct Access Scheme. The court process is very stressful and the system can be quite complex. However, I found Louisa’s support to be invaluable, helping me to make sense of the process and find a way forward to protect the interests of my daughter, pending a final outcome. Throughout the process, Louisa offered me clarity and understanding. As a true professional, she listened to my concerns and worked hard to take the heat out of matters, whilst putting the interests of the child foremost at all times. Overall, I felt she went above and beyond what I expected in providing support and direction to me and would recommend her services to any parent experiencing the court system.”

Mr B instructing Philip Newton through DPA scheme – February 17

“….Excellent in all areas….financially it was less expensive….I personally felt that because I was able to have direct contact with the barrister that communicating was easier, I felt in control of what was said and put across, essentially it was cutting out the middleman….definitely worth it….”

Mrs S Instructing Louisa Adamson – August 16

“Thank you so much for your help with this. You certainly had a calming and reassuring effect  throughout the process. I am immensely grateful for the overall outcome …”
