Testimonials

Danielle, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent job you have done. You have been very clear and concise throughout and dealt with all matters in a respectful manner and provided me with excellent advice. A divorce is not an easy thing to go through but on the practical side of things you certainly made life easier. I hope I don’t have to  but if someone ever needs a family lawyer I would have no hesitation in recommending you. I wish you all the very best for the future.

Sharon, it’s a relief to finally  have come to this point and I’m now looking forward to a much more positive future, I haven’t felt this peaceful in almost three years since we first separated. If I need any further advice in the future I will get in touch with you again but for now I would like to say thank you for all your help, and expertise and for your very professional services.

Natasha was an excellent help to me and essentially sorted mine and my child ‘s life out. I cannot thank her enough. I would without a doubt recommend Crane & Staples and use them again if I was ever unfortunate enough to require the service again.
