“Jason was outstanding throughout the sale of our flat and the purchase of our new home. Clear communication, quick responses, and calm guidance at every stage. He explained each step in plain English, spotted issues early, and moved things forward even when others slowed the process down. Couldn’t recommend him more.”
- Mr. M
“Hannah was amazing, she always replied quickly to calls or messages, even out of hours. She was very clear offering all available options and factored in my financial position. Her understanding of family law proceedings was evident in how she strategically emphasised the key aspects of my case; explaining where I could gain some transaction. Hannah’s knowledge and ability to present a strong case, as well as allocating a knowledgeable, formidable barrister, was the major factor in achieving a successful outcome in court.”

“I used Hannah Cornish from Keystone for both the financial and child matters in my separation and I cannot recommend her enough. She has guided me through all aspects of these in a matter of fact way, giving me the pros and cons, and which route she thought was best. She never told me what I wanted to hear, but instead what I needed to. Both of my outcomes went in my favour and I have no doubt it was because of Hannah’s expert advice.”

“Keystone Law is probably the fastest growing Family Team in the business, meaning each member has an amazing array of talent from which to advise and experience from. Hannah Cornish was an inspired recruit! One of the most underrated lawyers in the field of family law, her client skills are second to none, her ability to bring a team together is like no other, and her advice is so measured. Definitely worth a mention. Charlotte Cuevas is also worth noting for similar reasons as Hannah. A delight to work with.
