The Family Law Clinic Ltd were recently ranked in the final top 10 in the South of England and in the overall final top 100 in the whole country, and this is what the competition organisers wrote and said to us:
"Dear Ms Matheson-Durrant, Many thanks for your submission to the Barclays Business Take One Small Step Competition. We've had an overwhelming response to the competition with over 3600 entries. You've done fantastically well to make it to the final 100 across the UK, it really is an outstanding achievement.
Whilst you were a really strong candidate unfortunately you have not been successful in making it through the Judges and into the next round of the competition. We'd like to thank you for taking the time to enter the competition, and wish you the best of luck for the future with your business venture. Kind Regards, The Barclays Business Take One Small Step Team."
"The whole divorce process, and especially the courts attitude and that of my solicitor (all solicitors in fact) - who built my case on what she decided the outcome would be rather than go for my best interests and let the judge decide - has left me feeling very bitter, angry and resentful. Ieffectively came away with absolutely nothing. Quite the contrary; it cost me dearly. Even if I sold the house, the money it made wouldnt come close to what its actually cost me....The whole system stinks......" (Ian from Birmingham,2010, represented by Solicitors in 2008)
"Dear Nicky, I had to write to you to say how much I appreciated your help and guidance in relation to my grandson who was removed from my care due to an argument that occurred between myself and his mum. Social Services had been involved since before he was born due to his mums drug misuse. He is now 2 3/4 years old, and thankfully back in my care. I was so glad I saw your advert in the Yellow Pages and called you because you gave me courage and guidance to argue my point. When I first came to your home I immediately felt comfortable and felt that I had known you for a long time. I am glad that I didnt 'qualify' for public funding as I dont think that anyone could have done better than you. Although I have an interim residency order that will remain until a final hearing in August, I know that I can call you for help. I will always recommend you to others and I'm glad to be able to say we are friends. Thank you so much Nicky. All the Best. S x" (SH, South-East England, April 2010)
“Dealing with lawyers is a dread. They are normally faceless and no
humour. I found you a nice person to
deal with and you helped me get through the day and thank you. I have (my son
back) and he is getting better. I can
get (£…) in benefits to help with bills.
I found you very understanding and approachable – and good understanding,
and good value for money.” (DC, Surrey, 2009/2010 Children Act/domestic violence/criminal
damage)
"To whom it may concern:

fully funded NHS Continuing Care.
The
Family Law Clinic advised and guided through this minefield – in particular,
Nicola Matheson-Durrant.
She was incredibly supportive. Without her
help, I am sure that we would not have the successful outcome we had. I can thoroughly
recommend her.

"To the Family Law Clinic: Dear Tim, Many thanks for getting back most of our rental deposit so swiftly, which we had been trying to recover for eighteen months. I understand the landlord might even have some work for you now due to the firm but fair way you handled the matter. K.Attwood." (December 09, SW England)
"Dear Tim, > Just to let you know we had a very good meeting with the team manager in > the social work department, if only we had met him before.

"I would like to say how extremely pleased I am that I had advice and help from the Family Law Clinic at Court through my divorce and ancillary relief proceedings. The out- of- court settlement was very fair to both parties even though our split-up was very acrimonious, and what I paid out for the FLC was very very reasonable, but this is thanks mostly to the FLC's attention to detail and their professional approach to everything. Even the District Judge complemented my FLC McKenzie Friend!" Thank you. P.P, Surrey (Nov 09)
"Hi Nicky, Firstly thank you so much for your advice, it was invaluable. As you know
we obtained a prohibited steps order yesterday. As agreed with ......, we would like you to attend court next ...........,
August. The hearing is at ............" (Mr NB, Berkshire, Aug 2009, Divorce/Children matters)
"FLC helped me a lot to prepare excellent statements and gave good suggestions on what needs to be presented in the court and most importantly what court would like to hear from me regarding my case. It has been a long struggle but at the end always truth never dies. I thank Nicky and Caren for their valuable support and guidance." (Mr MR, Oxon, July 2009, Children/Immigration matter)
For Tim: "It was so nice at last to find someone who understood the problems I had over
the years in trying to see my children and who actually helped ". (CH, Dorset, July 2009)

I now have the money and I am hoping to move into mine and the children's new home this week………..………….it will be so good to be able to finally sleep at night in my new home and have that weight lifted. Thanks for everything Nicky, I truly appreciate everything you've done for me and I can't thank you enough. Very kindest regards to you all…” (Mrs H, Berkshire, July 2009)
".... I did meet with Judith, and that her help and guidance on certain parts of my case, in particular setting out forms to be logded with the court, was of great help. I would say that for anybody deeply involved in representing themselves, but needing a little redirection, your service would be most valuable. Regards PJ (NW England, April 09)
"Hi Nicky.... I would just like to say that, i cant thank you enough for the reassurance and possitivity that i feel, after seeking your advice on this matter. I will definately recomend your services to everybody, its refreshing to have such friendly and extremely speedy advice when you need it most. Thankyou so so much for you help. kerrie " (Surrey, Mar 09)
"Hi Nicky, Really sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, but I wanted to write to you to thank you for your help in my divorce. It all went through ok and I now have the Decree Absolute, rest assured should I know of anyone seeking legal advice I will have no hesitation in pointing them your way. Many thanks, [TH]", Bucks, Mar 2009

‘..........No doubt your suggestion to pay the rest of the cover for the car -in one go until next June- must have been a major factor to sponsor that decision.

After 5 hours of negotiating we finally managed to walk away with an agreement between us……………..None of this would have been possible without the brilliant and proffesional background work you had completed for me and which formed the agreement that we eventually agreed on.

Thanks again G.’ (Contact matter,Court/Cafcass, Oct 2008)
‘Hi Nicky I would also like to thank you because the statement that you produced was excellent. ………………………..Sincere thanks once again! D.’ (Oct 2008)
I really just could not say "Thank you very much". That just sounds so feeble.I could not have survived the past few months on my own, I certainly doubt if I could have achieved the result that we did just working on my own. Nicky I have to say that it was not just all the form filling-in, the letters, the phone calls etc. It was not eventhe time when I was taken ill in your office, you phoned for an ambulance, organized the completionof the form we were working and then had it typed up; it was not even your pricing which, to say the least, is very competitive. More than all that was the fact that I knew YOU WERE THERE! That meant an awful lot to me Nicky, more that I can say. You more than anyone else know what a difficult time I have had over the last couple of months or so which is why just "Thank You" sounds so feeble God Bless You NickyKeep up the good work Peter (Divorce & Ancillary Relief Proceedings, 2008)
Hi Nicky, I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for the training last week. I thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions and I learnt so much!!!!!! 'Marty, 2008'
"......Thank you for all your advise on my divorce pretty good outcome, least now I hopefully can be mortgage free with the 65% down payment on my next home!! Thanks again all the best to you...." TG, (re. Ancillary Relief proceedings) London, 2008
"The service provided was very friendly and approachable. I was instantly put at ease as the McKenzie friend went through my documentation talking me through it and told me what I should expect at court. At the hearing it was very reassuring to know that I wasn't alone and each bit of the process was explained to me providing me with invaluable guidance on how to approach each situation. This provided me with confidence and a better understanding of the process. Couldn't have done it without them and at half the cost of a solicitor!" Mr F.N. (re. Judicial Separation, Ancillary Relief), London, 2008
"I commend the Family Law Clinic for preparing my Separation Agreement so thoroughly. The solicitors for my wife were happy with it and now we can live our separate lives until one of has wants to divorce. Thanks you. Angus S, Liverpool." 2008
"When I first heard about the Family Law Clinic it was by seeing their website. I live abroad and cannot come to England as I am really busy. I needed to have a Power of Attorney. There was no problem having the work done by Nicky, and everything is now in place. Good work. Well done. Gordon, Manchester" 2008
"By using the Family Law Clinic, I have saved thousands of pounds getting my divorce, and I didnt have to go near a court. Only thing is, I had to travel down from Northants to find the only legal advice centre near us to get the low cost service. I thoroughly recommend you. You are excellent, thank you. Sarah L. Northants." 2008
To any one who does not know which way to turn: I was
in a lesbian relationship with a adopted child for 10 years, and like
many relationships it broke down. I contacted the family law clinic in
desperate hope for some legal advice and understanding for my situation. Nicky was my rock and was totally honest and at all times never judgemental. My feelings
were like any other human being ..that roller coaster which you really
want to get off. However the only thing that kept me on that horrible
ride was knowing that Nicky was sitting next to me the whole time. My
ex partner had a very horrible nasty total bully Solicitor, but our
Nicky fought her in all the steps of the legal ways,and she has never
let me down. I would like to encourage any human being
whether straight, gay ,married or living together if you know you have
reached the end of your relationship and need legal support and honest
advice for you to move on with you life please contact the family law
clinic.. Its only a phone call.. Yours truly Miss Louise O'Sullivan. 2008
Tara – from Aldershot
I contact the Family Law Clinic in December
06 after consulting a solicitor and being advised that a basic divorce would
cost me a minimum of £3000 but as I was also dealing with a pension sharing
order this could increase by as much as a further £3000 and that was before
VAT.
Knowing that I would not be able to afford
this I looked for alternative ways in dealing with a divorce. I searched the web and the Family Law website
came up. It advertised cheap fixed rates
for divorces and an hourly rate which put solicitors to shame for all other
situations. I contacted them and they
offered me an appointment within a few days.
Nicola (my advisor) gave me information as
to how the divorce could proceed and then left it to me to decide whether to
take up their services, I felt no pressure which was different from when I
visited the solicitor who tried to get me to sign up straight away.
I took up the divorce package and Nicola put
the wheels into action.
She was always on hand with information and
legal advise to keep things in check and the divorce went through without a
hitch.
The pension sharing order, having to deal
with the British Army and all their bureaucracy took longer. Nicola was always ready with legal back up to
any argument my ex-husbands solicitor came up with, who felt that I would be a
push over as I was a litigant in person, and kept me feeling as though I was on
an even keel with them. I ended up
having to take it all the way to final hearing and do feel that had I not had
the support of Nicola and the Family Law Clinic I would have given up several
months before it reached this stage.
I
came out of the final hearing with exactly what I had asked for, and it cost me
only just over 10% of what my ex-husband had to pay for his legal fees.
I can not thank Nicola enough for all her
help and would recommend her service to anybody.
'Basically two months ago I was in a
desperate situation. My wife was suing me for divorce. She wanted the
children, the house, everything and she wanted me to pay for it. I
couldn't afford to pay for solicitors anymore. I had spent close to
£6000 and I was no clearer in understanding what was going on. Each
time I contacted them it cost and it wasn't cheap so I just hoped they
knew what they was doing. The solicitors had then predicted the cost
of further representation would be another £15000 and refused to work
for me until they had received more money. I just couldn't afford it. I
had no choice but to dismiss them.
A further major obstacle my
solicitors refusal to pass me the paperwork so I could continue to work
on my case. They wanted payment in full.
It was by chance that I stumbled across The
Family Law Clinic. They offered advice on how to represent yourself in
court (litigant-in-person) and gave me immediately help by explaining
what is needed by the court and also on how to prepare and present
papers for court submission. The courts themselves were very helpful
and though unable to offer legal advice there were many leaflets
outlining procedures.
I had two sessions with The Family Law
Clinic and it was at an expense I could afford. On each occasion I came
away with increased confidence and a clearer understanding on what I
had to do. I found the advice invaluable clear and straightforward. It
also made me aware of the different choices I had. I quickly came to
the conclusion I had wasted £6000 in solicitors fee's and now I was
getting proper advice and not shrouded 'legal complexities'
In the end, with barely 2 months preparation
I went to court. My sister acted as a McKenzie Friend. Being a
qualified school teacher and former reporter she was invaluable in
taking notes and offering advice. So much so the judge complimented her
and said as a 'Friend' she acted impeccably.
The result after the two day hearing?
I achieved a 50/50 residency status with my children. Which means I have them guaranteed for 50% of the time.
Though I must leave the matrimonial home I retain a 30% stake in the net profit when it is sold.
My wife now has to pay all the bills relating to the house(including the mortgage).
I do not have to pay maintenance for the children
I do not have to pay maintenance for my wife
More importantly I did not have to pay costs. (my wife now faces a bill in excess of £20,000)
I wouldn't suppose for one moment the Family
Law Clinic is right for everyone but it certainly is an alternative
to extremely expensive non-caring solicitors.' .......
Regards Andy' 2008
'I would like to say how refreshing it was to use such a great legal service to help me make a claim against my partner (cohabitant), when I left the home I had lived in with him for 15 years. Being unmarried my rights were not the same, which I knew, but I actually didnt realise I had real rights. I do under the trusts law. I had helped pay the mortgage for 8 years, and then paid for the most of the extension to be build, but hadnt kept the bills. Anyway, we settled out of court, thanks to the approach of the Family Law Clinic, who actually drafted out the financial agreement with my ex-partner's solicitor. My ex-parter had to pay their own Solicitor's legal fees of £8,000. My fees were less than one quarter of that! !Well done. Steve, Croydon. 2008'. 'When we all arrived at Court for the First Directions Appointment, and I looked at my husband's Solicitor's bill, it already came to just under £5000. My bill with the Family Law Clinic up to that point was under £600! I hope this will encourage anyone with sense not to use a solicitor! Thanks, Jennie, Birmingham.' 2008
"Many thanks for your email and I write to advise that I
received the registered Power of Attorney a couple of weeks ago.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your services
which I found to be very efficient and painless!! It was a pleasure dealing
with such a friendly, down to earth company in which I felt relaxed, yet
confident. Should I need further help in Family Law I will have every
confidence coming to you and have already recommended you to friends. Kind regards and thanks"
LW, Surrey, 2007
"I first
approached the Family Law Clinic in April 2007, Nicky helped me legal matters
surrounding an application for residence of my children. She was incredibly
helpful and advised me through the mass of legal "red tape",
affidavit preparation and as a Mackenzie friend at Court. Her advice is sound,
to the point and with no dilly dallying around. In August 2007I secured a
change of residence for my children and now they are living with me. Nicky has
been key in this process. I can recommend her assistance to anyone who needs
quality legal advice at really affordable rates. Signed John K, Manchester, 2007"
"One of my friends who had used the service recommended the Family Law Clinic, because of the fair price and friendly people who run it. I am partly disabled and have a difficult time writing, but Nicola helped to fill in all of the proper forms and write letters during the divorce. Luckily we agreed the finances without having a final hearing, and most of the stress which I have felt during the years and the separation have reduced. I strongly recommend Nicky. Thank you very much for your patience." GT, SE London, 2007
"Thank you for all of the help enabling me to get a divorce without having to fight in Court." Mrs H, Birmingham, 2007
"I found the Family Law Clinic on the internet. I am single mum with one child. I work full time. My child's dad decided to stop paying any maintenance years ago. We have always rented. Nicky filled in the application forms and we went to court 3 times, until finally the judge awarded me a lump sum of money so I could buy a flat. Thank you Nicky." LU, London, 2007
"Just as I was at my wits end, I found the yellow pages advert for the family law clinic, and couldnt believe my luck. It all ended very well all things considered, and the court decision was great. Thanks again, and Wow what a gal you are Nicky." PL, Wilts, 2007.
This is just a
short e-mail to thank you for all your help and advice you have provided me in
relation to contact with my children and ex-husband. I wish I had known about
your services before having worked alongside several law firms during my acrimonious
divorce, as I later learned that this was how solicitors could justify their
high fees. It is also refreshing to learn that you are able to receive the same
professional advice without the pain of receiving costly bills. The Family Law
Clinic have been professional and more importantly their advice has been extremely
useful and valuable. I will be continuing to use your services. Thank you
again! JK, London, 2007
"In
the beginning i had no intention of seeking any legal advice to help with my
separation. But then when my ex went and found a solicitor I felt that it
would make good sense to find out exactly where i stood. Since i spoke to
Nicky her asssistance has been nothing less than professional. She
provided me with advice on how to deal with my ex and her solictor and helped
work out what would be a reasonable settlement between us both. Thanks to
Nicky a situation is well on its way to being resolved, when without her
assistance it would no doubt gotten out of hand." signed OA. Dorset 2007
I was very impressed by your knowledge of the law and the legal process, and by your professional, calm approach and negotiating skills. Your whole attitude and approach ensured we avoided Court during my divorce, and all financial matters and children issues were resolved by you - even though the Solicitor for the other side wanted this to be a Court fight. Best of all, your hard work and directness ensured that the whole divorce was resolved in 6 months, and you negotiated down the other Solicitors' costs by 30%. Thank you. I will recommend you highly. Regards GR, Berkshire, 2007
Nicky was most helpful by supplying me with the legal framework which helped
me to negotiate the financial settlement with my almost ex-wife. Regards.
David (Surrey, 2007)
The
service I received with my Will was very painless and your support in helping
me create it was considerate and thoughtful. I would have done it years ago if
I knew how easy it was going to be. Best
wishes, Gilly (Berkshire, 2007)
I contactedDivorcezone shortly after I seperated from my wife to obtain assistance withall aspects of my break up as time went by.Aroundchristmas time my wife refused to let me see our two children aged 2 and 5, andalso decided that she would use the children access as her only method ofpunishing me for leaving. This was devastating for me and I did not want to getlegal people or police involved as I did not want to risk upsetting my childrenin any way.I contatedNikki for advice and Nikki sent a communication to my wife with my agreementaround my rights as a father. This of course went down very badly with my wifebut as a result of this letter I have now had my children stay with me for 11weekends on the trot and its set to continue. Signed SA. London,2007
Nicky's approach to my marital problems were like a breathof fresh air. I immediately dismissed my mostly unhelpful and expensivesolicitors, and received no nonsense, inexpensive and excellent legal adviceand constant support from Nicky.I am still embroiled with the delicate issue of contact andshared residence of my children, as well as the complex matter of financialsettlement, but am highly confident that with Nicky's continued support andadvice , satisfactory outcomes and results will be achieved.I cannot thank you enough, Nicky, you give me constant hopethat things will be alright in the end.Signed, DW ( Berkshire)
I've found Nickyincredibly helpful in any legal matters, be it in Court or in writtenformat. She's currently helping battlemy ex-partner with the Contact between me & my daughters. I seemto be getting somewhere & will not hesitate in recommending her assistanceto anyone else in this predicament. Sheis great. Signed Paul S, Hertfordshire, 2007
I asked theFamily Law Clinic to write a Will for me. The whole process was straightforward, though very detailed, but my Willsays exactly what I want it to say. Iunderstood the legal advice I got from Nicola, and the price was verycompetitive. My children will definitely inherit from me now, and not myhusband. Highly recommended.Signed RB, Midlands,2007
I found the FamilyLaw Clinic in the Yellow Pages, and although I already had a Solicitor workingfor me, I gave them notice as they were too expensive and slow. Through Nicky, we didn’t have to fight in Court at all, andwe managed to negotiate a good settlement at very low cost, and I now have aConsent Order which is very fair to me and I see my children as often as I wantto.Signed GR Hampshire, 2007
Afterhaving paid my former divorce Solicitors thousands of pounds during the lastyear about a financial settlement, I got rid of them and became a litigant inperson. Nicola and spent four hours inone week working on the wording of the complicated Application I wanted tomake, and I persuaded the judge to grant it in my favour. Nicola cost £340 intotal. Good in difficult situations. Signed S W, S.London, 2007
I was advised andsupported in Court by Nicky, who was my McKenzie Friend. The judge was extremely welcoming and theapplication I had made under The Children Act was granted to me, and now thechildren are more settled in how often they see their dad. Had it not been for Nicky supporting me and helpingme understand how the courts work, I never would have gone to court, and theproblems which I was having would have carried on. From LP, Slough
"I commend you for the professionalismin the most emotive ofsituations. It was not only comforting that one could afford yourservices, it was an added comfort that you always had the time todiscuss issues and look at them from both a legal and practicalperspective. I do not envy your job, helping couples to separate, butI am happy that your advice has made it as smooth as could bepossible. Bless you." Mr Kr Bambo, Berkshire, 2006
"Itwas a pleasure having Nicky guide me through our annulment ofmarriage. Her expert advice made me feel at ease with the dauntingprocedures, and her relaxed, friendly approach was comforting duringdifficult times. I will always recommend Nicky to my friends andfamily." Mr P Bancil, London, 2006

"Theyguided and advised me tremendously throughout my separation, from themoment I hired them to the finalisation. They were terriblyprofessional with a vast knowledge of civil law. I would thoroughlyrecommend them to anyone, as not only were they my rock through anawful time in my life, but they also became valued friends." Mr D Huskinson, Surrey, 2006

"Ihave known the proprietor for several years now. I readily advisepeople to ring the Family Law Clinic, and in the last year they havehelped a good friend of mine keep his house, when his ex-girlfriendtried to force a sale. They have also helped my client's son to havecontact with his estranged two young daughters, and they are ensuringthat mum abides by an existing contact order. Nicky has helped many ofmy own clients. Not only do I think that they are worth recommending,I have their business cards on my desk. We now call ourselves their'satellite office', as so many of our own clients have received goodlegal advice and services from them!" Ms A Clarke, Surrey 2006
"Before meeting with them I was very disillusioned with the way my divorce wasgoing, and how I was being treated by my very expensive Solicitor. However, once I had received advice I came away feeling a lot morepositive, and seeing the light at the end of the long dark tunnel - Wasa step in the right direction, as far as I am concerned." Mr Gary H (surname witheld), Business proprietor, Surrey 2006
"The problem with divorce is that everyone takes advantage of both of you -solicitors, courts, barristers, surveyors, estate agents, accountants,banks, councillors etc. Divorce Zone (Family Law Clinic) was the firstlegal advisor I met to give me honest, direct, helpful and clearinformation without taking advantage, and at a price that I consideredfair." Mr PG (name witheld), TW18, 2006
