Legal 500

"Their approach and understanding are exceptional. I have felt very much supported throughout, with excellent counsel but also very much a personal touch and empathic approach that really made the difference for me. Child arrangements through court were extremely stressful, and the team at EFL were exceptional at managing the case and my emotions throughout. I genuinely believe we could have ended up with a very different outcome if it were not for EFL and their excellent network used throughout."
