I felt throughout the case, Kirsty was compassionate towards my personal situation and on many occasions was the 'voice of reason' to ensure I remained on track with proceedings. Kirsty's extensive knowledge, professionalism and above and beyond approach made me feel fully supported and that she always, 'had my back'. Kirsty worked tirelessly in communicating with the other side and also with the Barrister we appointed. Under very stressful personal and working circumstances, I do not know how I would have coped without her guidance.
