Unit Chambers - Liverpool

Adam L.

I recently used Unit chambers for a family court hearing with Lisa Edmunds representing me. Lisa provided an outstanding service with fantastic attention to detail. The drive and determination combined with a true ability to understand the circumstances and persist to ensure a positive outcome was reached was truly amazing.

I would highly recommend Lisa to anybody as the experience I had was better than I could have imagined as I went into the day unsure of what to expect and by the time the first hour had past, Lisa had resolved the majority of the issues with a structured approach which ensured fairness and equality.

The time and effort Lisa provided within a short period of time, being able to understand and resonate and further construct a brilliant strategy whilst adopting a calm and cool approach throughout the proceedings no matter what was being thrown our way still doesn’t feel real.

A wonderful professional who I am very happy to of had representing me and would urge anybody going through family court to consider, to help them move forward.

Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Lisa and the team for taking on my child arrangements case on a direct access basis. Lisa picked up the details quickly and was always available to discuss and prepare. Lisa's manner and skill in the proceedings was amazing to observe, she is clearly talented and exceptional at what she does. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who needs a family law expert and representation.

Once litigation started for a second time, I straight away contacted my previous solicitor and Lisa again. Anxiety was through the roof, but the moment I spoke to them I knew I was in safe hands; they gave me the support and strength to keep going, never feeling alone. Lisa remembers the nuances of your case, draws on her wealth of experience and offers invaluable advice. Her ability to articulate and construct arguments, both verbally and in written statements is her key talent. I couldn’t have got through the last 12 months without Lisa!

I can’t thank Lisa enough for everything she’s done for me and my children. From the start, she took the time to fully understand my case and, most importantly, has kept the children’s well-being at the forefront. She never got distracted by minor issues but instead focused on the bigger picture, and what was truly best for the children.

Lisa came into my case at the 11th hour, when things were at their most challenging with entrenched views. Within just one hearing, I felt that the truth had finally been uncovered and, more importantly, heard. She was able to cut through all the noise and get straight to the heart of the issues, presenting a clear, child-focused plan for moving things forward in a positive way that gave me real hope for the future of my children.

I also want to mention that Lisa’s staff have always been polite, professional, and incredibly responsive. Special thanks to Emma for always handling my inquiries promptly and with such courtesy. Their support made the process much smoother and manageable.

Having worked with four separate barristers through direct access, I can confidently say that Lisa is by far made the most positive impact. She’s not only an excellent barrister, but also a normal person - genuinely warm and down-to-earth.

If you are looking for a barrister who will truly cares about your children and will fight for their welfare, look no further than Lisa. I firmly believe that the day she chooses to become a Judge, it will be a pivotal moment for family proceedings in this country, and children who are unfortunately caught in the crossfire of parental conflict will be much better off.

Thank you so much - Your support means more to me than words can express and I can’t recommend you enough!

I have worked with Barrister, Kim Okell, on several cases and have found her to have an empathetic but professional approach to clients.
Kim is very approachable generally and has significant experience in family matters. This is evident in her ability to represent clients effectively.
As a family lawyer, I have instructed Kim to represent clients and will continue to do so. She is thorough in her work and quick to provide answers for clients.
Kim also offers to support to juniors in the profession, like myself, who appreciate guidance in complex cases.

Kim Okell is an excellent barrister. She is efficient, focused, empathic, and kind. She has a great rapport with clients, and they always provide positive feedback. We instruct Kim on a lot of financial, TOLATA and children matters and we are always confident she will provide the best advice. If you are considering to instruct Kim, you will be in safe hands.
Her clerks (Emma and Lucy) are always on hand to assist and are always polite and accommodating when we are liaising with them. Overall, we would recommend Unit Chambers!

Having been recommended Lisa Edmund's services I cannot praise her work highly enough. She has been brilliant so far, as have Unit Law. I would recommend Lisa to anyone needing legal help in Family matters.

Unit Chambers are my go to chambers, whether last minute hearings or complex matters. I find Unit approachable, friendly and thorough. I regularly instruct Kim Okell and Isabel Hawkins. They are both brilliant barristers, prep thoroughly and take their time to understand the client and their case. I often receive very positive feedback from clients who wish to continue to instruct Unit throughout their matter.
