Family law could have two meanings. The first meaning is the intended one; a Law Firm that specialises in family related issues. With David Gray you get a firm that excels at this first meaning but also delivers a second — family law meaning they care not just about the legalities but also provide the support and compassion you would expect from your family. I have just gone through a collaborative divorce with the support of Mary Shaw. At every point I felt that what came first was working to find the best solution for all the individuals involved; that is myself, my son and my now ex wife. At times this meant having to answer tough questions about what I felt. Mary excels at asking the right questions in a supportive and compassionate manner. Many law firms could provide the services required for a divorce — what David Gray gave me was a positive way forward for my life.I always felt that they worked hard to drive the process from the needs of our family and then applied the legal framework to suit rather than driving things from a rigid ‘one size fits all’ legal stance.
