Rafton are absolutely amazing, you are treated like family with love and care and they fight as hard as humanly possible for you. I have been given nothing but kindness and understanding and it feels more like family than a solicitor. I cannot recommend them enough.

The team of Kate Rafton, Menaka Prasad, Jami Gardiner, Jackie Stewart, Jo Scott were extremely generous and giving with their efforts to help me with my child family matter. I rang constantly, changed my appointments endlessly, there was never a single compliant, only understanding, patience and kindness towards me. I could never have met the compliance deadlines set for my final orders and my final trial affidavit without Kate, Menaka and Jaimi’s help.
