Reviews From Our Family Mediation Clients

The process was so much quicker and easier than I anticipated – after everything I have heard about lawyers! And it was re-assuring for me to know how much it was going to cost at the start, not when it was all over. Thanks, Ian. I’d recommend you to anyone who wants a solution seeker and quick results.

What a great job. Not only was I really happy with the result and the agreement Ian negotiated for me, but I got this resolved much faster and cheaper than I had first thought.

Ian managed to keep my husband on board although he was difficult to engage. Ian managed to achieve an outcome which saved face for us both. The whole situation was stressful but Ian was able to keep us focused and managed my husband firmly but respectfully.

Ian gave me a clear explanation of the issues in dispute. This really helped us get my family law problems fixed much quicker and it saved me time and money. I tell my friends about how he is a lawyer who was always looking for answers not problems.

I just wanted to say thanks so much for this morning! It’s likely rarely an easy situation to mediate but I felt that our situation was handled incredibly well by you, and I am certainly grateful for your expertise and your input this morning!

Ian has a good knowledge of the law and listens to what you have to say. Ian is about helping people and not about monetary compensation.

Thanks for your time today Ian, you did a brilliant job. A very positive outcome for all I felt.
