“Dear KBW Team, thank you for working together with Rona from beginning to the point of my final hearing. A special mention to Barry who I liaised with throughout. A hearing which had an outcome most beneficial for my son and only child – living with both parents.
As you know, we had another hearing, again achieving what is in my son’s best interests in a fraction of the industry standard time. Rona does not only guide her clients but the court and I was amazed at the elegance and confidence in which this is done.
This achieves more for families, in less time, with more clarity and options explored up front – it means less waiting for all parties and most importantly, our children.
I struggle to adequately capture what Rona does in words because she operates at such a forward-thinking and strategic level.
Rona has made the most anxious, stressful and panicked period of my family’s life – appear straight forward and pragmatically hopeful.
I cannot thank Barry and Rona enough. How can a parent adequately capture in words what it means to have their only child’s bond with them restored, permanently?” Mr S, January 2026
