Maariyah supports directors and solicitors on their client matters. She mostly provides support to head of department Clare Peckett.

Maariyah assists solicitors by:

  • Preparing documents
  • Court orders
  • Court bundles
  • Applications
  • Undertaking any research that may be required

Throughout my dealings with Maariyah I found her genuinely supportive, sympathetic, available, knowledgeable and genuine. I know that my divorce is one of a thousand you deal with but to me it was incredibly hard and yet Maariyah made me feel like I was at times her only client. I’m also aware that I sold myself short financially in my divorce because I wanted to “do the right thing” once I discussed that at length with Maariyah she pointed that out to me (I already knew obviously) but she agreed to actually do what I wanted . She answered e mails usually within a day , she returned and took calls usually the same date. I can’t fault Maariyah in any way whatsoever, you should do all you can to keep her she’s a credit and an asset to you.

In some cases, parents turn to the Family Court for help. But for many years, the system designed to support these families has been criticised for being slow, adversarial, and at times, harmful—especially for children caught in the middle.
