What clients say about Monicka

“Monicka was the one that managed to pull all the information together and highlight the potential pitfalls and problems that might be faced in an easy to understand and logical way. It genuinely feels as though she cares about her clients, but absolutely has the expert knowledge to back that up. Would not hesitate one bit to re-engage her services if it were needed in future … Would highly recommend.”

“I instructed Monicka to work on my behalf during my Divorce. Throughout the process she was professional, timely and easy to work making a potentially difficult process more manageable. Recommended.”
Rob, 2023
“Monicka handled both my divorce and the child arrangement order and financial consent that were part and parcel of the process. From start to finish this was an entire year and throughout that time her professional, courteous and friendly manner made things far more bearable. Her extensive knowledge in this area allowed her to foresee the impending issues and ensure that I was both well aware of these and most importantly fully prepared when they occurred. Her ability to manage expectations whilst ensuring your best interests and outcomes are achieved is a true art. “
