After my initial telephone consultation with Rachel, I knew I was going to use RJS Family Law for my financial proceedings. She was the only solicitor that I felt really cared about what the client wanted and would fight for it.
I instructed Rachel for my FDR in January 2025. She prepared my position statement and created the court bundle. She took my instructions throughout by asking how involved I wanted her to be in the process in order to keep costs to a minimum. I gathered all the evidence from my ex-husband and then provided it to Rachel so she could create the bundle.
She advised me on my position and also listened to what I wanted to achieve and why. At the FDR, it was clear that she understood the facts of my case as she was able to defend points raised by my ex-husband. I was able to reach a positive settlement at the FDR which would not have been possible without Rachel’s help.
She was very approachable and we had a lovely conversation whilst waiting to be called in. Although her hourly rate may be high, her communication is clear and concise so you’re not wasting money on unnecessarily long communication. In the end, I didn’t end up paying as much as I had anticipated. The service I received was worth every penny.
I would recommend RJS Family Law to anyone needing assistance with family of child matters. They care about their clients and want the best for them.

A Steady Hand in an Unpredictable and High-Stress Situation
I came to Rachel with what turned out to be an incredibly tricky, unpredictable, and emotionally sensitive case involving international travel with my children. From the start, Rachel was calm, clear, and compassionate — she guided me through every step of the process with both professionalism and real empathy.
What really stood out was how she managed communication with the other party — her tone was always measured and respectful, even when faced with emotionally charged and irrational responses. She showed an impressive ability to balance legal precision with human understanding, which made a very stressful situation much more manageable.
I’m very grateful for her guidance and support throughout, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing help in a complex family matter.

I have been going through a divorce for some time and Rachel has been fantastic supporting me all the way through. She happily answered any worries or questions that I had and never once made me feel silly with my questions.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Support Through a Difficult Time
Rachel has been an incredible source of support and guidance throughout a very challenging family matter. From the very beginning, she handled my case with compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the emotional complexities involved.
She took the time to listen, explain things clearly, and was always honest and measured in her advice. I felt heard, respected, and supported at every step. Rachel’s attention to detail and commitment to doing the right thing gave me confidence during times I felt unsure and overwhelmed.
Thanks to her expertise and care, I was able to navigate a stressful situation with dignity and clarity. I can’t thank her enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a family law solicitor who genuinely cares.
