Service Feedback
“Thank you…for helping me with the query about the steps needed to initiate divorce proceedings, and for getting back to me so quickly. The information Inaam gave was very clear which enabled me to easily pass on the details to the person concerned and help her to understand what would be involved. I…would have no hesitation in recommending contacting the Advice Line again if she has any further queries. Now that I am aware of the Law Centre, I will be recommending the (family law) service to anyone else I know who may need guidance in the future.”
