BOOK A CASE REVIEW WITH MICHELLE BENSON

I am incredibly grateful for all the support Michelle provided in the lead-up to and during my Cafcass call. Her insight and practical guidance were invaluable, and she helped me prepare thoroughly by clarifying exactly what to focus on and how to present my concerns in the most effective way.

Throughout the call, she offered prompts and reminders that kept me on track and ensured I didn’t forget any of the key points we had discussed. Having her there in real time was not only reassuring but gave me the confidence to address difficult topics calmly and clearly. Michelle’s expertise, combined with her genuine empathy for my situation, made an enormous difference in my comfort level and in how I conveyed my concerns to Cafcass.

I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven support in family law matters. Her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering focus on the best outcome for my children shone through every step of the process.

Michelle's support has been invaluable over the years, and once again, her recent 30-minute session provided much-needed reassurance during a stressful situation.

She is professional, approachable, and highly knowledgeable. I have relied on her expertise for securing a non-molestation order and arranging child custody matters.

Michelle explains everything clearly, is incredibly patient, and offers excellent advice. She has helped with gathering evidence for court and providing essential support throughout the process.

I think that Michelle is a wonderful person so thoughtful and understanding as talking to her she puts you at ease straight away and I had a very constructive hour conversation with her and she was really good at helping me threw my situation and i would recommend her to any body if they have any issues to sort out as i could talk to her for ages and it is as thaw we have known each other for years she is very professional and would not hesitate to call her again if have any more problems or issues 10/10

Michelle helped read my position statement and spoke with me before my first hearing with my ex partner . In this hearing she made me feel much more able to deal with the situation, explained the process , dealt with my conflicting emotions and totally understood me where others would not , had they not experienced it for themselves . A court date is highly upsetting , stressful and unknown to most of us . Michelle gave me the strength to go ahead and achieve my desired outcome , to protect myself , my family and my property for the future , I would not hesitate again to ask her for her amazing assistance . She is a diamond in a sea of depression , sadness , unhappiness and worry . She’s a true angel , ultimate professional in her field and made the process as good as it could be for me.

Michelle's support, expert advice and clear guidance and level of organisation has been excellent throughout. She is very approachable and affable and puts you completely at ease theoughout the process, offering much needed reassurance during the most stressful moments of the court proceedings. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to others

Michelle has been amazing offering guidance and support through a stressful time. Knowing how and when to deal with solicitors who are trying to antagonise the situation has been priceless. Michelle has also pointed me in direction of additional financial support available to myself and family that was previously unaware of. After spending 1000s on solicitors initially I never felt like myself and daughters welfare was being supported holistically as it is now with Michelle. Can highly recommend to others!

Thank you Michelle for an excellent service. You have a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Reliable, punctual, reassuring, friendly, very helpful and good value for money.

Thank you so much. For your help and support. Your support on the phone was more helpful on helping me understand what i need to do and ask in court. I camt thank you enough. I'm hoping i can ask for help in the future.

Michelle was great. She gave me lots of good advice in general and as regards the completion of my draft position statement and was totally clear about the expertise, support and assistance she can provide with all aspects of the family court process. I am looking forward to working with her.

Michelle has helped me in see my daughter again in a regular basis. I now see my daughter ever weekend thanks to her in put at the court hearings. The advice she has given me put me has been better than a solicitor, as we were up against my ex and her solicitors and thanks to Michelle I got the contact that I was looking for. Thank you again Michelle

I simply could not of coped without Michelle’s endless support through the latter stages of my divorce and Child Arrangement Order. My anxiety was so high approaching court deadlines and opening up solicitors letters but Michelle stepped in every time,keeping me calm, keeping me informed and well advised. She sent endless messages to keep me buoyant and reassure me that I can do this without expensive solicitors. And she was right. I did cope, with her help and expertise but most importantly, the warmth that I needed at a time when I felt the most vulnerable and alone. Solicitors bills have left me in debt but without Michelle I would of been a further £25K in debt as well. I can’t thank her enough and would urge you to contact Michelle if you are struggling with divorce and children related issues.
Michelle is knowledgeable, capable and calm and sat through hearings with me quietly giving me advise and prompts in my earpiece during the hearings. I can’t express enough how much this helped and I simply could not of done this without her.
She read through complicated forms and interpretated them to me and wrote out superb statements without causing aggression and unnecessary conflict.
I wholly believe going through solicitors will cause more harm, money and heartache and wished I had of used Michelle earlier on in the process.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Michelle.
I have made a forever friend.

I would recommend Michelle to everyone who is dealing with child arrangement order, she is very professional and supportive, many thanks Michelle , my life is back to normal

I’ve been working with Michelle since around March 2021. There are no words to describe how helpful and amazing she is. I wouldn’t be able to go through all my court cases without Michelle.
