Client Feedback

Gareth was absolutely brilliant for me during the last 6 months in particular. He was a very calming influence throughout what was a stressful time. His ability to play out scenarios based on the drafting of my proposed consent orders was second to none and he also was great in his communication with the other side's legal representation. I also appreciated his ability to adopt and adhere to a long term strategy. PFL has a great asset there in Gareth and I hope that you will maybe convey my satisfaction with the services he performed on my behalf when you get a chance? I imagine this is not the last time I will cross paths with PFL but rest assured there is no other law firm I will call if and when the time comes!!!!
Special thanks to Gareth Walters for everything you do, so calm and understanding, amazing!
I wanted to convey my profound appreciation for the work Gareth has done for me over the past year. I’m not sure if my case was typical; from my perspective I was a mess. From the very start Gareth was amazing and helped navigate through some very tricky situations with my ex and her erratic lawyers. On more than one occasion Gareth has kept me grounded when I wanted to explode. Gareth has always been on-point. His knowledge, strategy, approach, and professionalism has helped me achieve outstanding results for both the financial and parenting orders. I can’t thank Gareth enough for his help over the last year and reiterate what a great resource you have.
