Vivien’s goal was to get the best outcome for her client and that she did, whilst showing compassion, understanding and exuding professionalism and competency.

Lay Client , Divorce and Financial Remedy

I am clear that without Vivien’s support we would not have achieved the outcome the wife had sought. The outcome required Vivien’s hard work, careful case preparation, her clear understanding of the case and issues, her ability to present the facts clearly and her excellent cross examination skills to tease out the evidence required to support the wife’s case. It also required Vivien’s patience and understanding of the client’s emotional needs to ensure the wife was able to give her evidence and to ensure her participation in the proceedings.”
