I first met Mena whilst studying for my undergraduate law degree during my placement year at Goodhand and Forsyth, where she was engaged as a consultant solicitor in the firm’s family department. I was initially interviewed for my position at Goodhand and Forsyth by Mena and she later became my training supervisor.
This testimonial was very kindly written by a family lawyer working for a Legal 500 and Chambers UK leading firm.
"I first met Mena a few years ago, just a couple of years after I started practicing family law. Mena was lecturing near Regent Street and I remember it being all about matrimonial finance for family lawyers. I was immediately struck by her warmth and she engaged straightaway with me and was interested in what I had to say.
This testimonial was provided by a family solicitor who occasionally requires assistance from me as a more experienced practitioner. I offer consultancy services to a number of people in this position on a "pay as you go" basis.
This testimonial was originally given on Linkedin and is reproduced here. Many thanks to Mark Penston for the recommendation. Mark and I have worked on divorce cases over the past 15 years, the most complex case involved a final salary pension valued at £2.3 million. Mark and i have recorded a number of training sessions over the years which can be found under the videos tab.
This testimonial was given by a client to the Senior Partner by letter. The letter hasn't been reporoduced in full.
From a Delegate in 2014 after an In House financial case update course - “the best seminar I have ever been to and possibly the most knowledgeable speaker – lots of extra content about the cases which makes it interesting.”
I have prepared an Arbitration information document for solicitors, mediators and clients to use as a simple checklist.
I am very pleased to have received a testimonial from Max Lewis of 29 Bedford Row chambers, regarding our involvement in an Arbitration case. Max and I work together frequently.
The following testimonial is written by the Managing Partner of a Tier 1, Legal 500 firm. I have been working with the firm for nearly a year to write blog articles for their website, newspaper articles and marketing pieces.
On Monday I was presenting a seminar in Leicester in the afternoon. I took the train and then a taxi to the venue.
I got in the first taxi in the queue waiting outside the station. After I told the driver the destination, he said "How much do you want to pay?"
In this period between Christmas and the New Year, I tend to go to the office to catch up on my paperwork. I consider it to be my quiet time to clear those bits of paper from my desk and tidy up a bit.
How to apply for the decree absolute if you are the respondent
It is quite simple really, its an audio clip, a bit of information to listen to rather than read an article, a book or a leaflet.
Consent Order - Most people want to achieve a final result as a result of marital breakdown. Once the parties agree a result at mediation, it is best to write that up inot an order by consent. It is eventually sent to the court for a Judge to approve.
This audio file is a conversation I had with Christopher Richards from the Divorce and Separation Centre, one of many fantastic mediation services that can be found across the country.
It caught my eye in an article on the BBC website that there seems to be a generally accepted idea that the divorce rate is on the increase, without any in depth consideration of what factors might influence the numbers.
