Podcast: The Modern Family Lawyer 

 

"Leiper Gupta Family Lawyers represented me during a Residency order for my 4 year old daughter. My daughter ended up living with me and my family. We are so happy knowing she is safe and happy.

I don't believe I could have got to this stage without the services of Rita Gupta and her team at LGFL Ltd. They understood that this was a new process to me which at times could be very stressful, and were always there when I needed support.

Their professionalism put me at ease and I know I made the right decision to go with them. They guided me through the whole process, and their advice was swift and exceptional.

Rita is friendly and very approachable. She gets the job done whilst keeping you constantly in the loop. If she is unavailable, her support team is there to help you with any queries.

I would highly recommend LGFL Ltd especially if you're dealing with any complex Children Act cases."
