What people say about me

‘I cannot recommend and thank Claire Porter highly enough. She is such an asset to SAS Daniels and her clients. She is extremely professional, efficient, reliable, suitably challenging, level headed and clear in her representation, advice and guidance. She balances this perfectly with her friendly, warm, caring and thoughtful approach. This is so important when dealing with such emotive issues during the most difficult days of your life, at your most vulnerable.  Claire is the most amazing support and source of strength’

 

“First class, professional legal expertise delivered in a carrying, sympathetic manner.  Claire Porter was an absolute star throughout a long, unpleasant, complex, international family law high court case.  Forever grateful to Claire and her team for their high standards”

 

“Claire Porter has been fantastic.  I really valued her supportive approach, honesty, straight and robust legal advice, responsiveness, reliability and care during a difficult time”

 

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your extremely professional, precise and efficient advice and support over the last number of months. You’ve been hugely dependable during a really unpleasant, turbulent and unexpected period in my life so, genuinely, thank you.’

 

‘I have complete satisfaction with the manner in which you handled the divorce of my daughter. The advice and guidance provided throughout this whole acrimonious affair by Claire Porter was first class, excellent! My sincere thanks to all of the team’

 

‘I cannot praise your support and professionalism highly enough. At the most upsetting and stressful time in my life you have been my strength to get me through my divorce. Every issue you discussed with me you delivered on. I built complete trust in you. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me. Both you in the family team and Sara who dealt with my house purchase are a credit to the company and I would certainly recommend you to others.’

 

‘I just wanted to thank you for your knowledge, experience and expertise during the round table meeting on Friday. For the largest part, it seemed that we were much too far apart to reach any form of agreement. To turn it around in the end and find an agreeable way forward appeared almost impossible. I’m very pleased with the outcome, so thank you once again.’
