Excellent successful representation in Family Law court. From the outset Byron and the legal team were very professional, with excellent, clear communication at all times. Byron demonstrated an excellent knowledge of UAE law and I was more than happy with the legal advice and service provided which resulted in a successful outcome in my case.
