Robin strongly believes in taking a cooperative and constructive approach with his cases and clients. Robin tries to ensure that he focuses on the individual clients wishes and needs and tries to assist in managing clients in what is often a very emotional and difficult time in their lives. Robin’s ability to communicate in plain English and to ensure that his clients understand their options fully before making a decision, make him a popular choice for clients. If however, it is clear that matters cannot be resolved without starting Court proceedings, Robin will promote his clients interest in a robust and pragmatic way.

Robin works closely with his personal assistants and paralegals in the Family Department.

Robin has also worked as a Criminal Lawyer and still remains a police and Court Duty Solicitor and so has a wealth of experience in criminal and cross related issues that can spill into Family Law.

In 5 years of business I have been fortunate enough not to have had reason to use any form of debt collection, I guess it was my turn when a clients decided to dispute an invoice, even though a very clear and accurate chain of emails and signed terms of business and placed applicant were in place. Askews online Legal debt collection process was so simple and cost effective; it clearly laid out those costs at each stage, showed the trail of correspondence, and allowed me to feel in control of the outcome. The result was a 7 day letter sent to the 2 direcrors and a postal version too, for £7.50. The result was the invoice paid within 24 hours. Couldn't be happier, so much so I shared the process with two other business I know well.

Karen Reardan was my solicitor regarding my divorce. Karen was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best recommendation I could ever have received.Always professional, Karen has been easy to work with from day one. From asking the right questions so she could understand all of the finer details of my situation and what my greatest concerns were, being proactive and timely in responding to me and working hard to move my case forward, through to advising me on the best approach to all aspects of my case (and explaining some of the detailed legal points in language a non-legal person would understand!), Karen has not put a step wrong.If all of that wasn't brilliant enough, Karen always put me and my child first in any advice and recommendations. Her ability to also see the situation from the other side meant I received balanced advice for the good of me and my child, but also for us as a family going through a major change. I have always felt that Karen cared about me and my child, she was empathetic in all of her correspondence with me and we were never treated as "just another case".Going through a divorce is painful for all parties involved but with a solicitor like Karen by my side, it has made it easier because I never had to worry about the legal side of my case because Karen took care of all of that. I never had to chase Karen either because she was always one step ahead of me and the courts.I would not hesitate to recommend Karen Reardan to you if you need a divorce solicitor.
