Over a few years I have needed various types of legal advice, from buying a home to a seperation involving children and Kristen Beckhaus has always gone the extra mile to make sure I understood exactly what needed to be done and why.

The road to the finalisation of my relationship to my partner has taken nearly 4years. It has taken its toll on me emotionally and mentally. Being recommended by a friend at work, I contacted Kristen and immediately over the phone, I liked her relaxed nature , Kristen set out clearly options for me going forward with my separation . On our first consultation my judgement about Kristen was validated as we all know separations are hard enough. Kristen has left me at ease and would easily recommend her to anyone facing the same issues.
