Yael Selig

Yael’s experience transpires in the results of her work and I am very grateful to have her represent me.

At each juncture Yael has provided me with clear information and advice, and each time she has obtained results that have prioritised the well being of myself and my son.

Any litigation in family matters weighs heavily on everyone involved and with emotions running high, I was terrified at the prospect of what lay ahead of me when I decided I wanted a divorce. From the very first telephone call, Yael proved to be an excellent listener, extremely professional, empathetic and always forward thinking.

Not only was she always fast to respond, but she provided me with great advice and explained everything in lay terms. Yael made the process feel stress free and would 100% recommend working with her.

Yael was very helpful in guiding me through the process and at every step was extremely patient and answered all my questions with ease.

Yael is a pleasure to work with and I have no qualms in recommending her. She is a small but mighty force to be reckoned with and you definitely want her on your side.

I hired Yael in 2020 to help me through my very difficult divorce. She guided me through every stage with her vast knowledge of divorce law and she made everything a bit easier.
