I’m writing this as a father who has come through one of the most difficult periods of his life, and I cannot speak highly enough of Milad Shojaei of 33 Bedford Row. Over the past 18 months, I have been involved in an exhausting family court process spanning 13 hearings, culminating in a four-day fact-finding hearing last week. During that time, I faced repeated false allegations by my ex-partner, often made just days before key hearings. Ongoing delays in the court process only compounded matters.
