I would definitely recommend Switalski Solicitors to anyone who is going through private child care proceedings, from the start to finish they have been so professional and reliable. A massive thank you to Gabrielle Richardson and Ruth Coneron for dealing with my matter. Gabrielle went over and beyond to help with my worries and always managed to put my mind at ease no matter how worried i was, her and Ruth both filled me with confidence that my end goal would be achieved and it absolutely was!

Child Care Client

I went to Switalskis due to Family court proceedings. Gabby took on my case after a disaster with a different firm and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning she was very professional as well as being caring and supportive.

The court proceedings that have been ongoing have been very complicated and difficult to deal with but Gabby is fantastic at explaining everything for me to understand. It has been very stressful for me and at times I’ve asked a million questions, no matter what, Gabby has always reassured me and always been there at every step of the way. I always felt so comfortable with Gabby, she was really friendly and knew absolutely everything, which is so reassuring when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. I am so grateful and will be forever thankful for all of her hard work. I’m certain at some point due to the circumstances of my complex case I could have to go back into family proceedings one day and without a doubt will be contacting Gabby for anything in future.

I wouldn’t want or trust anyone else to assist me and would highly recommend Gabby to anyone. I am glad my case is over with for now but will miss speaking to Gabby as she has been in my life such a long time due to the length of the case.
