Rhiannon Stannard had been my lawyer at GQ, and I can't express enough how impressed I am with her incredible work ethic, professionalism, and genuine care. She went above and beyond my expectations, making me feel heard, appreciated, and most importantly, respected. I can't thank Rhiannon enough and I highly recommend her. Thank you!

GQ is the first place I call if I have any legal matters that arise. I have been using GQ for over 20 years and have always had exceptional service. Recently, Rhiannon Stannard helped me with a family law matter. Rhiannon was so understanding and strived for the best outcome for everyone involved. I really appreciate that Rhiannon ensures you're well informed all the time through her excellent communication.

Rhiannon Stannard represented my son in gaining visitation rights to his daughter. This has now come to an end and He/I could not be more thrilled, We now have unsupervised visits with this little girl and are even having her on Christmas Day. None of this would have been possible without your support and dedication. You truly were remarkable and we cannot thank you enough, My son and I highly recommend this law firm and this lawyer for family matters. All the best to this amazing team ! :)
