Abby Buckland, Associate, Kingsley Napley
“Laura is a huge support to both client and lawyer and the case benefits enormously from her involvement. Not only is she a complete pleasure to work with but her experience, training and intelligence mean that her judgment and opinion on the case, as well as her emotional and practical support for the client, are invaluable.“ www.kingsleynapley.co.uk
James Carroll, Partner, Russell-Cooke
“Laura’s role can be described in one word – invaluable. What makes her role invaluable is the multifaceted way in which she supports both clients and their lawyers. Her role is one of emotional support, practical guidance and professional assistance. She is the perfect complement to a clients who want to work with their advisors in a cost efficient, yet thorough and professional manner. Added to this she is simply a delight to work with and is very much one of the team.” www.russell-cooke.co.uk
Kate Clark, Associate Solicitor, Mishcon de Reya
“Laura is fantastic, she remains calm under pressure, she’s good fun and is equally supportive to clients and solicitors. On a case we worked on together recently I think our client would have had a nervous breakdown without Laura, in fact, I think I would have had a nervous breakdown without Laura! Absolutely invaluable.” www.mishcon.com
Pam Collis, Consultant, Family Law in Partnership
“Laura Rosefield brings a sense of calm and support to what is otherwise often a highly stressful and “out of control” situation. Her legal training and instincts are invaluable and as good as, if not better than, many divorce/family lawyers. Her insight as a past consumer of divorce lawyers enables her to get the best for her clients and to make the fees spent on both divorce lawyers and her as effective and focused as possible. She thinks laterally and has contacts for every possible expert or agent. A really useful addition to family law.” www.flip.co.uk
Lauren Evans, Solicitor, Kingsley Napley
“We won! And the judge ordered extended contact….so the dream result. Thank you so much for your help – it was invaluable.“ www.kingsleynapley.co.uk
Mark Freedman, Managing Partner, Osbornes
“Their approach is refreshingly different; genuinely cost effective and above all professional. The service they offer routinely involves going the extra mile. Laura intuitively understands the needs of her clients and part of that is her being at the end of the phone for even the smallest crisis day and night. Having Laura involved is of great mutual benefit to clients and their advisers alike.” www.osbornes.net
Harry Gates, Barrister, 4 Paper Buildings
“Laura Rosefield is highly adept at helping clients help themselves. Her detailed knowledge of practice and procedure means she is able to provide the support and reassurance that gives clients the confidence and capacity to manage divorce effectively”. www.4pb.com
Ann Herreboudt, Child Psychologist and Family Therapist
“Both Laura and I look after clients during difficult periods of their lives. I find that our approaches are very similar in being wholly focused on supporting people in an empathetic yet objective way. I would recommend anyone on the point of separation to contact Rosefield Divorce Consultancy for practical and emotional support.” www.annherreboudt.com
Elizabeth Hicks and John Nicholson, Partners, Irwin Mitchell
“As practitioners, we can’t understand why we’ve waited so long for Rosefield Divorce Consultancy. Until now, clients have either had to pay full solicitor rates for help with on-the-ground issues around their divorce, or rely on friends, who so often have an axe to grind. Laura is the perfect “professional friend” who helps clients through the practicalities of separation and much of the tedious document-sorting that accompanies the divorce process.” www.irwinmitchell.com
Mike Mason, Director and Head of Forensic Accounting, BDO
“I worked with Laura on a very difficult case, involving a number of complicated financial matters. Laura was able to communicate the issues extremely well to her client and managed to guide her through the tortuous minefield of accounts and tax. I know that the client felt supported and greatly helped by her.” www.bdo.co.uk
Alistair Peel, Executive Director, Strabens Hall
“After advising private clients for almost 20 years, I was perturbed at how hard it was to really understand the differences and nuances between lawyers operating in the matrimonial field. The key issue that kept coming back to me was how do you assess who is right for you? Every time a client asked for a recommendation, I felt nervous: why? Apart from personality, assessing options felt almost impossible and consequently many of my clients were either buying personality, stars, big named firms or simply asking a friend who they used. While there was a strong 'well you couldn't go wrong' element and I have had every reason to believe that the firms would give good, sensible advice, I always felt there was a niche for an independent adviser who could hand hold the client, work closely with, appoint the right legal team and ensure that the strategy was right for the client, their circumstances and emotional state and appetite for a battle.
I have been working with Laura Rosefield for four years and feel that Laura does what any good independent adviser should do: hold the hand of the client, provide unbiased, non-conflicted, independent advice, deal with the technical and legal elements and keep the costs and emotional scars to a reasonable level.”
