“In 9 years of fighting for access to my child, the most fortuitous step I took was in appointing Ms Battie as my barrister. She is not only an expert in law, more importantly if she can see that a child’s contact needs are not being met, she will fight for that child, and there would be no better person to have representing you in court.
If you have become jaded with the battle for access, disillusioned with the court process or have come to the realisation that you need an expert on your side, I urge you to appoint Ms Battie. She is a one-woman legal “A Team”, and having her representation was the best decision I could have taken.” (Client, 2020)
