   Callum represented me for an application hearing. He met me before the hearing and briefed me, answering all of my questions. He helped me keep calm as I was very anxious. He had considered all of the evidence and made articulate submissions on my behalf. As a result, my ex’s application was dismissed. This was such a relief for me. Callum made me feel heard. I would recommend him and use him again in the future. I cannot thank him enough. Throughout my proceedings I was represented by Lisa Edmunds, who made me feel calm in the most nerve wrecking environment. I felt understood, which after leaving an abusive relationship is everything. Lisa managed my expectations over 11 months and always made sure I knew what was happening. She answered all of my queries and explained the possible outcomes at each listing. Lisa checked on me throughout our hearings as I was often distressed. It shows that Lisa has been through family court herself, as she doesn’t look down on you, like some barristers do. During adjournments Lisa also offered her chambers as a safe place for me to wait so I did not chance running into my abusive ex. Likewise she would ensure I was in the court’s safe room before grabbing us coffee. She couldn’t do enough and I’ll be eternally grateful! Lara accompanied Lisa as a pupil during my last few hearings. Lara sat by my side in court, offering me water and tissues. This sounds small but when you’re in such an emotional setting, it is just what you need. Lara also waited with me outside of court ensuring that I did not come into contact with my abusive ex. Lara made me feel safe and was honestly like a personal bodyguard! She took extensive notes throughout which was helpful as you can forget what was said when emotions are high. I felt so comfortable and powerful with these two by my side. Thanks to Lisa’s cross examination, I now have a court order documenting that I have been victim to domestic abuse and my son lives with me after being taken from my care, without my consent (coercive control). Thank you Lisa & Lara! X

   I have been supported by Lisa Edmunds in a children's case about my 2-year old daughter. My daughter had not been allowed by her mother to see me suddenly. It was very stressful and difficult for my child and me. Lisa has supported us wonderfully in two different instances before the Liverpool Family court. Lisa focused on the interests of my daughter and the result is that my daughter is having a wonderful bond with me again. Lisa is very knowledgeable and thorough, very robust and eloquent in how she presents herself, and to-the-point in her advice (she doesn't use big words, or overpromises). And the results have been very good. I do appreciate Lisa's help a lot. And I do recommend Lisa's services enormously to anyone who is in need of professional advice and barrister services! I cannot speak highly enough of Lisa basically.

   I recently had the support of Lisa during family court proceedings at Manchester Family Court, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very start, she showed an impressive depth of knowledge and a clear understanding of the complexities involved. What stood out most was her ability to see and appreciate both sides of the parents’ perspectives, which gave me a lot of reassurance that nothing was being overlooked. Lisa was very tactical in her approach, always thinking a few steps ahead, and her advice was not only practical but also carefully thought through. It was clear that she put a lot of time, effort, and research into my case, which gave me great confidence throughout a very stressful process. Most importantly, she was incredibly reassuring and approachable. I felt comfortable and supported every step of the way, knowing that my case was in capable hands. Lisa’s dedication and professionalism made a real difference, and I am very grateful for all her hard work. Now my daughter gets to spend a bit more time with her daddy with a bit more freedom.

   Where do I begin, As a single father trying to fight for shared custody of my 2 year old daughter. Lisa Edmund’s triumphed in gaining a fair and just result for me and my little girl, despite being against the odds. If there are any fathers out there trying to do the same. I can not recommend Lisa enough. She is an absolute asset and will get the job done.

   Lisa assisted in a complex matter including alienation involving a young adult child and complex extended family dynamics. Lisa was excellent at reading the presiding Judge and implemented a suitable strategy. Lisa played the long game - not brutal in the cross examination but facilitating the witnesses to dig their own hole. I could have sought a more able Counsel. Lisa's personal interest in my case went beyond professional duty. Lisa has gone 'the extra mile' by burning the midnight oil during this complex 3 day fact find. a very composed and measured performance in court which was both sensative but purposeful. Lisa is the BEST in her trade.

   I recently used the direct access service on the unit website and after browsing all the profiles decided to instruct Lisa Edmunds. The process was really simple and the response was really quick. Instructing Lisa proved to be the best decision i’ve made during the last year of struggling for access to my son. During a stressful and emotional time, as soon as Lisa took control and we had a pre-hearing conference (which i would recommend) i felt immediately at ease. Lisa laid out what our approach should be, stripping out my emotion and sentiment and focusing only on facts and what would work in court for the best outcome. She was clearly very experienced and could anticipate the approach of both the judge and ‘the other side’, which helped us to prepare appropriately. The outcome from the first hearing was really, really good and i believe having Lisa represent me was a key part in this. I will definitely be approaching Unit again for representation for my final hearing later this year.

   Very knowledgeable and offered great insight and advice, which really complimented the work of my solicitor. Picked up the case very quickly, understanding the nuances through extensive experience. In addition to the practical side, Lisa was very emotionally sensitive and caring, leaving you feeling very supported at a difficult time. Professional and confident, I felt in safe hands.

   Lisa Edmunds is an excellent barrister who is professional and person centred at the same time. The family court process can be quite overwhelming but Lisa was very reassuring as my case was quiet complex with a difficult ex husband. Lisa's advice was fantastic, sensible and comprehensive. She was prepared in advance of the hearing, gave advice taking into account my wishes and concerns and achieved an amazing outcome for my children and I to protect us now and in future. I was so relieved. Lisa's conduct within the court hearing was very eloquent and respectful. I would highly recommend Lisa in future and Unit chambers for their professional and proactive approach and level of service.
