Highly recommend. I was happy with the outcome of my divorce. The most important aspect throughout the process was maintaining a significant relationship with my children, and although my ex-spouse was fighting for sole custody, I was awarded joint custody, 50-50. Ms. Rayner fought to ensure I would maintain joint custody. The legal process was explained clearly to me, and I was kept informed every step of the way. Ms. Rayner listened carefully to my concerns and worked with me to achieve my goals. Communication was timely and professional, both from Ms. Rayner and her office. At trial, Ms. Rayner demonstrated excellent professionalism and skill. The legal fees were reasonable and in line with what one might expect. I would highly recommend Kim Rayner to anyone dealing with a divorce case.

I had this law firm to handle my divorce. Unfortunately because I was getting divorced and I had two kids I could not afford to pay full price for an attorney. I was awarded this law firm's attorney as a legal aid lawyer. It is so true that they do the bare minimum to help you. He was so unempathetic and impatient. There were things in my divorce that were not carried out and today...years later it is still affecting my children and I. How they can take an oath before starting their career and turn around and be so cold-hearted and unhelpful is beyond me. I guess when the rubber meets the road it is all just a money game and in the end that is all they care about!
