Karen is one of our mediation administrators. If you mediate with us, you will probably talk to Karen on the phone to set up your appointment, and she will explain the process to you. She is calm and re-assuring and helps make sure things run efficiently! Sally helps manage us all and makes sure everything in the office ticks over smoothly, and helps produce our paperwork.
Peter has been involved in an unusually wide range of family cases. These days he specialises in helping ordinary families deal with financial cases in a way that is sensible and affordable. He has a special interest in cases involving family businesses, companies and trusts. A self declared nerd, Peter is determined and analytical and enjoys working with numbers and accounts!
Patricia has been practising family law in Norwich for nearly 25 years (she considers she was a child prodigy!). Patricia was one of the first family lawyers in Norfolk to train as a family mediator in 1997 and established a busy family mediation practice immediately on qualifying which has gone from strength to strength over the years.
Beverley has been a family lawyer and mediator in Norfolk for more years than she dares to remember. She has a wealth of experience of giving practical and sensible legal advice and guidance. However complex or unusual the divorce or separation, Beverley is known for being determined to find solutions which are realistic and workable.
Matthew has a varied experience in dealing with all aspects of family law, including divorce and separation, civil partnership dissolution, financial matters, cohabitation, preparation of pre and post marital agreements, and private law children disputes; including those with an international element.

I spent £267 on two wasted hours and was spoken to with an appalling lack of respect by BEVERLEY LONG, who provided a thoroughly unprofessional service throughout, taking sides with my estranged wife for no apparent reason. What happened to impartiality?
During this session, Beverley Long made no notes, forgot what was agreed and appeared to lose the plot when suddenly asking me "Why have you picked up a glass (of water)?"
She then asked "Do you feel safe in here Michael?" I replied "Sorry, why are you saying these things?"
Furthermore, when I asked to borrow a pen, Beverley refused, even though

On the occasions that I have needed Patricia to act for me, she has proved to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her realistic and thoughtful approach to matters helped me to take a more balanced view on things at a time when it could have been all to easy to allow emotions to take control.
In the 15 years I have known Trish I have recommended her on numerous occasions and will continue to do so.

I was a client of Patricia Brodie for nearly 2 years. Within that time Patricia was extremely helpful and professional. My divorce was very long winded and complicated and unfortunately during this time I suffered a brain haemorrhage and was in hospital for 3 weeks, thereafter convalescing for several months. Patricia dealt with my partner at this time and made sure that any 'issues/concerns' were not brought to my attention in order for me to recover. Patricia's reassurance and gentle approach was so important during a very distressful time. I would highly recommend Patricia as a a divorce solicitor

I was recommended to use Beverley Long at BBL family law while in a meeting with my financial advisor.
I made the call on her high recommendation around 5 years ago and I’m glad I did. My ex girlfriend decided to be as nasty as possible and stop my access to me seeing my daughter and I was in a bad place at the time as she was and is my world.
On my first meeting with Beverley she completely put me at ease and assured me that as long as I hadnt done anything wrong in the eyes of the law then I hadn’t anything to worry about , She explained that mediation was best way forward and cheapest
