“Always patient and kind” – understanding from Family Law Partner leads to testimonial
Mrs M faced complicated divorce proceedings, so she turned to
Family Law Partner
Nick Rodriguez for advice, understanding and support.
The assets in the case were substantial, including a limited company that owned a portfolio of properties. The parties were shareholders and directors. The instruction of a chartered accountant was necessary along with an accountant to give advice on the tax implications of the case. This enabled both parties to agree what assets were available for sharing.
Nick explained the process to Mrs M and ensured that she was kept up to date throughout. Although the case went to court, a settlement was ultimately reached along the way, so avoiding a final contested hearing.
The case was complicated because, whilst a reasonably lengthy marriage, it was a second marriage - much of the wealth, it had been argued, was accrued prior to the relationship and so non-matrimonial and not capable of sharing.
When the case concluded, a fair settlement was reached, leading Mrs M to provide this testimonial:

Whenever I needed to speak to him or email him, he was never too busy to respond and was always patient and kind towards me during what proved to be an enormously difficult process.”
