“Helen Bowns acted for me throughout my recent separation and divorce and I could not recommend her more highly. Helen listened carefully to my priorities and was able to help me navigate a difficult and stressful process with enduring calmness and a reassuringly sharp legal mind. I felt safe and supported throughout and confident that even though in our case the sequence of events was not necessarily typical, the process was smooth and calm” – Sarah C, West Midlands
