“Jemma and her team at Ann McCabe are highly knowledgeable professionals. Jemma gives great advice and shows compassion. She communicated clearly and left me with no uncertainty about the case processes. Most importantly, there were no hidden charges, and I never felt exploited by her; rather, she was considerate.”

“I have recently worked with Jemma on a tricky divorce, predominantly child arrangements, and I can honestly say I couldn’t have got this far without her. Her knowledgeable, empathetic, no-nonsense approach, coupled with a great tenacity and sense of humour, has been a lifesaver in dark times. She knew exactly what to do at every turn, responding quickly and advising me well beyond the call of duty. I have relied on her honesty at times, which was always valued and fair. She’s kept me going, helped me save resources, and taught me so much along the way. I’m carrying so much of that learning through into the bit beyond legalities too. You couldn’t wish for better representation. I have also worked with Ann on financial matters and, when Jemma was away, on child matters, and have found her to be equally professional, approachable and knowledgeable.”
