Melanie is among the go-to solicitors for private law children cases.

Melanie was with me all the way through a very challenging case. She has changed my life; I would not be where I am now without her.

Her understanding of domestic abuse and coercive control is outstanding and she gives good honest advice. She always returns calls and is a calming presence during an emotionally stressful time.
