“Thank you so much for all your support, patience and brains throughout, it was quite a rocky ride and you always managed to stay so calm”
“You have a special knack of reassuring and calming which really helped me through the last 14 months or so. There aren't too many things that can be more stressful than the possibility of losing your child (other than knowing for certain).”
“Your calmness and professionalism stands in stark contrast to the chaotic irrational aggression of your opposite number.”
“Thank you for absolutely everything - for your legal advice, appearances at court, counsel and, yes, friendship throughout the process(es). We always felt that the advice and encouragement we got from you went well beyond a simple fee paying client.”
“As ever it has been a pleasure to work with you on this case - and it was as ever brilliantly prepared and evidenced to the highest standard.”
“Thank you for all the time, effort and support that you and Charlotte have given to help us over the last year. We both really appreciate everything you have done to help us achieve what we believe to be the best for our family”
“You two have truly been fantastic. I know I can always count on you all! You've been so great!”
“Connie's ability to execute was outstanding”
In her spare time, Connie enjoys cooking (and eating), netball and running.
“Connie Atkinson always has a constructive and pragmatic approach – she is building a good mediation practice”
