Testimonials
I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your help. When everyone pushed me to go 50/50, you were the only one who understood how the roundabout works and who gave me hope I can win the case. I really appreciate your hard work.
We instructed Joanne Phillipson on a permission to Appeal/Appeal application in County Court at Leicester. She was amazing, going above and beyond with the preparation and her support of the instructing solicitor and achieving a very satisfactory result in Court too. We shall return to her again and again in future, thank you very much. Rich & Carr Solicitors
Appointing a barrister myself was quite a daunting prospect but Joanne was 100% the right choice - she made sure to speak to me at length to understand my position and gave direct, supportive advice, yet made it clear to me where I may need to reconsider. The time and effort she put into advocating for me and my child with the odds stacked against me was phenomenal. She was able to communicate in an effective way that made CAFCASS and the judge sit up and listen and she achieved the outcome I desperately wanted. Her memory and attention to detail are second to none and you can see how much her work means to her. You will have no regrets appointing Jo as your barrister and will be very lucky to have her on your side.
