“I came to Onside Family Lawyers and Sounita at a time during enormous stress in my life. I could not progress my divorce and financial separation with my ex spouse. I started I guess like everyone. Seeking initial advice on where I stood and trying to do it myself. Sounita was not only able to provide me with excellent legal advice. But sound strategy in the negotiation process. Ultimately I had to rely solely on Onside to successfully engage and negotiate with my ex partner’s lawyers. I was always informed, updated and confident I was getting the best advice and service possible. Due to this my stress and anxiety about the future reduced considerably.
I highly recommend and commend Sounita and Onside Family Lawyers.”
