“Easy recommendation!”

Michelle Everest at Bird & Lovibond Ruislip handled my divorce recently. I couldn’t be happier with the service Michelle and her team provided.

When I first went to see her she listened to everything I had to say and gave me great advice as to how best to proceed. She went above and beyond to get papers submitted before Christmas to get the ball rolling (despite being busy) and was on top of things the whole way through. She kept me informed every step of the way and I really felt like she had my best interests at heart, both financially and emotionally.
