Laura Rosefield Testimonials

Testimonials from Clients

“I met Laura at one of the most vulnerable times of my life and I immediately felt that I had the best professional person possible to hold my hand and guide me through the rough upsetting terrain that is divorce. Her calmness, kindness, experience and humour made for meetings that, rather than being bleak, were truly hopeful and empowering - I would recommend her to anyone.”

Ms S

“Laura Rosefield was recommended to me by my solicitors when it became apparent that I was embroiled in a very aggressive, high conflict divorce. Laura provided the support that I needed from the moment we met – emotional and practical. Despite being a lawyer, I was plummeted into the depths of despair as my ex-husband executed a bullying divorce campaign which culminated in a successful exercise of parental alienation leaving me totally isolated. I could not function, let alone focus on my case strategically, let alone complete the necessary paperwork. Laura was able to immediately identify what needed to be done. My legal costs would have been much higher had I not engaged Laura’s services. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. She was my rock and without her I would not have emerged from the 18 month ordeal smiling, stronger and ready to embrace the rest of my life positively.”

Ms G

“I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. I originally couldn’t understand why I would pay for a lawyer and a divorce consultant and was worried that it was going to end up costing me more. But no way, it cut my legal fees by approximately a third, possibly more. If I hadn’t had Laura to help me through this I would have felt completely lost at sea. I would probably have called my lawyer every time I ended up either raging or in tears - and my legal bill would have been multiples of what it ended up being - but instead I called Laura and she calmly talked me through what to do, how to respond, when to respond, when not to respond. She taught me how he was thinking (she has seen all this before), and taught me how to remain one step ahead of him and not be tripped up. She was able to spot when I was getting sucked into my old ways of dealing with husband, and help me to stop. She prepared me for court, again something I had never had to do before. Laura was truly excellent, very knowledgable, very experienced, and the consummate professional too.”

Ms W

“Laura has provided me with indispensable support and strategic thinking throughout both my divorce and children’s matters proceedings – definitely the first call to make in any divorce process. She is great value for money, providing invaluable emotional support, attention to detail and an ability realistically to prepare for every stage of the process.”

Mr L

“There is no guidebook on where to start with divorce. I also needed someone to act as my memory during the whole process as I’ve had very bad short term and long term memory loss. I didn’t know anyone so googled divorce consultancy. I knew Laura was the right person when I spoke to her on the phone, she seemed to understand. From the first meeting with her I just felt that there was someone on my side and I felt great. She found me the perfect solicitors and 12 months later we reached the outcome that my team had predicted in the first place. I would say to anyone ‘You have to ring this woman. She will guide you through it, it’s a no-brainer. She’s like the oracle.”

Mr W

“Thank you so much for all your help, you have really been invaluable, I didn’t know where to turn and your help has, I feel, put me on the right track.”

Mr S

“When I got in touch with Laura, I was stuck in a three-year procedure trying to settle with my husband and avoid court proceedings. I had spent lots of money with my solicitor with very little effect. I was quite desperate to find a solution. Laura arranged to meet me very quickly and provided me with solutions in only a half hour meeting. She organised a second meeting with a Barrister who at last offered me a way out. I then instructed my solicitor to act according to that sound advice and finalised my three year procedure in two weeks. Had I known Laura earlier, I would have saved a lot of money and time. I could not recommend too much to get a meeting with Laura and seriously consider your options. The best money I have ever spent in my three year divorce negotiations.”

Mrs B

“You will be my first port of call if I want good advice and guidance in the future on any other matters as you certainly knew what you were doing.”

Mrs G

“Without Laura I would never have got through it. She takes as much stress away from me as possible. She manages my husband brilliantly. She’s an incredible person, she’s tough, she won’t take any rubbish.”

Mrs L

“Laura showed great empathy, she communicated with me as a human being. She understood my situation and we had a real connection. Key to our winning the case was her ability to give me an understanding of the nuances of the court system: having given me the confidence to be me she then stepped back.”

Mr B

“Laura is incredibly patient, she listens and considers everything. All her decisions are fair and measured, she supports you with the practicalities but goes above and beyond in terms of the emotional part of the process. She makes the process as stress-free as possible. She was my rock. I simply couldn’t have managed without Laura guiding me through this difficult period in my life. Anyone starting the divorce process should ensure Laura is their first port of call, for impartial and knowledgeable advice. She is a good complement to the lawyers while helping to keep the legal bills manageable. She is 110% value for money.”

Mrs F

“You are amazing! And your help last night was invaluable. I really value your wisdom and experience on all this.”

Mrs B

“Thanks to your experience and enlightenment I quickly became informed about what was going on and what I could do to take an active role in determining the outcome. Thanks to you I was able to see beyond the frustration and upset and take in the wider view of where this was headed and how I could both protect my interests, be strong and, above all, keep things simple, affordable and reasonable. You were there, every step of the way, and your friendship, knowledge and experience was not only a comfort but, I believe, the most valuable resource I had throughout everything. From that first phone call to the agreement reached in court I have you to thank for keeping me sane, keeping me calm and helping me to achieve a happy settlement to what would otherwise have been a hugely expensive and distressing situation. Thank you so much for all that you have done, listening to me, advising and helping me these past months, and thank you for still being there now, as I iron out the last creases in my divorce whilst looking forward to what now promises to be a bright future.”

Mr L

“I want to say how indispensable Laura has been to me. She really has gone above and beyond offering so much support for my ordeal. I don't think I could have kept going without her help. My solicitor was also very impressed with the document she drafted for me, and did very little else to the document, so you have also saved me quite a bit of money.”

Mrs H

"Thank you so, so much for all of your help and advice. You really helped us turn the corner."

Mrs N

"I wanted to write to let you know the final court consent order was made last week! I feel a very deep gratitude for what you have done for me and that a lot more of me is left standing at this stage than would have otherwise been the case. You really do have a very special combination of skills together with that big heart of yours. A true talent and friend. You have been quite amazing. You are an absolute star and I will always remember you with great fondness.”

Mr T

Testimonials from Professionals

“I worked with Laura on a very difficult case, involving a number of complicated financial matters. Laura was able to communicate the issues extremely well to her client and managed to guide her through the tortuous minefield of accounts and tax. I know that the client felt supported and greatly helped by her.”

Mike Mason, Director and Head of Forensic Accounting, BDO

“Both Laura and I look after clients during difficult periods of their lives. I find that our approaches are very similar in being wholly focused on supporting people in an empathetic yet objective way.”

Ann Herreboudt, Child Psychologist and Family Therapist

“Laura Rosefield is highly adept at helping clients help themselves. Her detailed knowledge of practice and procedure means she is able to provide the support and reassurance that gives clients the confidence and capacity to manage divorce effectively.”

Harry Gates, Barrister, 4 Paper Buildings

“Their approach is refreshingly different; genuinely cost effective and above all professional. The service they offer routinely involves going the extra mile. Laura intuitively understands the needs of her clients and part of that is her being at the end of the phone for even the smallest crisis day and night. Having Laura involved is of great mutual benefit to clients and their advisers alike.”

Mark Freedman, Partner, Osbornes

“We won! And the judge ordered extended contact….so the dream result. Thank you so much for your help – it was invaluable.”

Lauren Evans, Partner, Kingsley Napley

“Laura Rosefield brings a sense of calm and support to what is otherwise often a highly stressful and “out of control” situation. Her legal training and instincts are invaluable and as good as, if not better than, many divorce/family lawyers. Her insight as a past consumer of divorce lawyers enables her to get the best for her clients and to make the fees spent on both divorce lawyers and her as effective and focused as possible. She thinks laterally and has contacts for every possible expert or agent. A really useful addition to family law.”

Pam Collis, Consultant, Family Law in Partnership

“Laura is fantastic, she remains calm under pressure, she’s good fun and is equally supportive to clients and solicitors. On a case we worked on together recently I think our client would have had a nervous breakdown without Laura, in fact, I think I would have had a nervous breakdown without Laura! Absolutely invaluable.”

Kate Clark, Partner, Mishcon de Reya

“Laura’s role can be described in one word – invaluable. What makes her role invaluable is the multifaceted way in which she supports both clients and their lawyers. Her role is one of emotional support, practical guidance and professional assistance. She is the perfect complement to a clients who want to work with their advisors in a cost efficient, yet thorough and professional manner. Added to this she is simply a delight to work with and is very much one of the team.”

James Carroll, Partner, Russell-Cooke

“Laura is a huge support to both client and lawyer and the case benefits enormously from her involvement. Not only is she a complete pleasure to work with but her experience, training and intelligence mean that her judgment and opinion on the case, as well as her emotional and practical support for the client, are invaluable.”

Abby Buckland, Partner, Kingsley Napley
