Simon's great, a pleasure to work with. I really like him: he's a decent, normal human being who knows his stuff. He's been around a while and people respect him. He's an amazing mediator as well.

Simon Pigott is a much-respected statesman of family law. He exudes statesmanlike qualities. He has done this so long and is very good at anticipating things; nothing takes him by surprise.

I felt in safe hands with Simon as mediator. He was measured, fair and listened to both sides. That meant we had as few sessions as possible and all was done in good time rather than drawing it out.
