Melanie was extremely generous with her expertise advising me on my divorce proceedings. I have found myself overwhelmed with legal jargon on forms I can't understand, and she was able to give me a clear picture of what was asked of me and what sort of things I had to do ground work on in support of my divorce proceedings. Melanie is a safe pair hands with international divorce situations like mine and I highly recommend her for other people needing to get expert legal advice on their divorce.

Melanie was excellent. She grasped what to our family seemed to be a very complex situation immediately and gave very clear advice on the options and their consequences. Having had just one hour with her we went from being lost and desperate to feeling confident about our position and also able to make informed choices as to how to proceed.

I found Ms Bataillard-Samuel's advice to be thoughtful to my situation and with a depth of knowledge that allowed to me to make further decisions with confidence. I would have no hesitation recommending her.
