I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen Edwards as a family law solicitor. Great service provided, in a professional manner and a pleasure to deal with.

Report
I don't usually post reviews but felt I had to due to my experience with Diamond and Heron and Joanne. I used them for family law and was so disappointed with the way my case was dealt with there were mistakes made from start to finish no communication and in the end I asked for things to be brought to an end as it was a complete mess which I am still sorting now. As I said I do not like putting up a review that is so negative but my experience was a complete disaster from start to finish unfortunately.
