Stephanie Heijdra Barrister レビュー 

Stephanie Heijdra was a total gamechanger in my daughter’s final court hearing for children arrangements.

Stephanie was a breath of fresh air. She spent nearly two and a half hours going through my daughter’s case with us, always asking pertinent questions and getting to the nub of each problem. Her eye for detail was laser sharp.

Stephanie has a gift for ‘reading’ people accurately which came into play in court. She asked searching questions that cut through confusion and inconsistencies to get to the crux of the matter.

My daughter and I were delighted with the outcome.

If you want a barrister who is feisty and robust in presenting your case, whilst supporting you emotionally, Stephanie is the one for you.

Stephanie Heijdra is amazing!
Thorough with her analysis of facts. Really incredible barrister.

this is the 3rd time I am working with Stephanie and I will stick with her all the way through my case - she is very invested and knows what she is doing. She will always tell you what to expect , let it be good or bad - which I prefer . Thank you for all your support so far!

Stephanie was amazing and I was very lucky to have found her!! As a father fighting for justice, Stephanie picked up my floundering case at the last minute and swiftly turned it around putting it back on track to finally be heard before a district judge. Stephanie is a great defender in family law and getting the best results. Stephanie was also very supportive before and after the hearing. I would also like to say thanks to Sam at Clerksroom Direct for his excellent support in handling all the logistics. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephanie.

A very good barrister indeed. She handled our case both with driving enthusiasm and technical know who and we got a great result.

Without Stephanie, I won't be in the UK. She represented me both in my immigration and family court cases. She fought for me like it was her own case. She is an Angel sent to help me through my struggles. I thank God I met someone like her.

I have previously instructed the clerk room barristers in 2023 on a matter and Stephanie Heijdra was the Barrister allocated to our case. She handled the financial settlement matter very well for our firm. Therefore when we had a very complex financial settlement hearing over 4 days in June 2024, with one of the bundles being over 1000 pages, I wanted Stephanie Heijdra on the case and that was the best decision for us.
Stephanie Heijdra was able to quickly grasp all the complex issues and represent the respondent in our case brilliantly. We appreciated her professionalism throughout. The respondent was very grateful for her grasp of the details of his case and her support throughout the hearing.

Stephanie Heijdra has been an invaluable support to me for years throughout long and arduous family proceedings. Her person-centred approach is truly empowering and has a healing quality that sets her apart. She has a profound understanding of complex matters around discrimination, manipulation, and abuse, and she skillfully navigates how these issues impact the legal process. Stephanie consistently provides honest and clear legal advice, making intricate matters easy to understand. She is very patient and neurodivergent-friendly, ensuring that all clients feel comfortable and supported. Approachable and dedicated, Stephanie combines kindness with professionalism in a way that is both rare and greatly appreciated. Her unwavering commitment has secured a positive outcome for my child, for which I am deeply grateful.

Very experienced barrister, despite the judges' bias,intimidation and taking side with the other party, Steph was professional in negotiating an amicable settlement.

I had the privilege of getting Stephanie as my barrister. She patiently listened to my case and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and satisfied. I would rate her 10/10.

Very grateful to Stephanie Heijdra and Clerscksroom Direct. I was recommended to go with Clerscksroom by me solicitor and I thank her so much too. More than a barrister Stephanie approached my case like a friend and got so empathetically involved from the beginning. To admire is Stephanie's capacity to see through the respondent's strategy and intentions. Always gave good advice in what my position should be and had great experience and knowledge of the family law and how to manage and lead the court and negotiate with the other party and understand what the judge is thinking.

You will always have to do your part in supporting the barrister with the documents on the day of the hearing. Stephanie did the rest of the work and was so sharp and on point about what I wanted to achieve. So great in exposing the other party lies and fabricated allegations and in presenting my evidence. Thank you Stephanie from the bottom of my heart, not only from me but on behalf of my beautiful daughters, for accompanying me through that painful broken family courts journey in the road to victory.

Stephanie represented my mother in a property dispute with her ex husband. Stephanie was very receptive and supportive of my mother's needs and wishes. She also saw the lies and delaying tactics that the ex husband was trying to implement in his favour. She was very straight forward with the opposing counsel what was acceptable and what my mother would agree to. It all was concluded according to my mother's wishes. This really has provided relief to a matter that has been dragging on for several years.

Stephanie, has been incredible. She was given a very short notice to represent by brother on NMO order. She managed to help us with our statement and provide her own statement in less than a day of hearing. She’s sharp, fast and on the ball. She saved us !

Avoid at all cost,

Update: I have just received my non mol order and she has Stephanie only added items to the recital to protect him. And she added his false accusations of me which have no evidence. She failed to add any evidence or points to protect me.

She is out to ruin my life.. yes this is how serious her act has been. She does not realise she is messing with peoples lives.

I made the mistake of going direct with her and didn’t use my solicitor for a non mol hearing, prior to the case during the conference she did not listen to a word I said and hummed. This became apparent as when ever I asked her a question she did not hear and I had to repeat. Same at the court she was not listening.

This is an extremely stressful time for me involving a very manipulative and lying respondent. She took his side immediately, I should have let her go during the hearing. I was very anxious and stressed and she made is 100 times worst. Once in the court room she wanted to sit next to my the respondent who is my ex partner and not me. The court had to advise her that he cannot sit with her.

It’s shocking behaviour- the respondent is a wealthy man and she was more interested in finding out how he made his money.

She added no value - the judge made the order with no input from her. She was trying to hand in papers on his behalf to the court. Which she should not be doing.

She spent little or no time talking to me and had very little knowledge of my case. The respondent is under investigation for some very serious crimes and has accused me. At one point she said he wants to contest I said fine let’s leave it and we came upstairs. I said don’t talk to him now and we can go to court again- his witness statement is full of lies and his lies will be exposed! Even though this is not ideal. She said she is going downstairs to find out what time we are going into court and I lost her again for 45 minute she went to find her with the respondent despite me saying we do not need to talk to him and negotiate with him now.

She then continued to ask me about his evidence and kept on saying it does not look good for me.. I called him 5 times he said 300 and lied! He is also being investigated for much more serious crimes!

She was not following instructions which were clear let him contest instead she was siding with him and was once again asking him about his evidence which is not important as he said he wants to contest.

I then went to check on the court times as she ignored my many messages. She came out of a private room with him and loudly declared in front of him and the whole waiting area that she will not work with me again.. because I gave her instructions which meant she did it need to talk to the respondent.

She is not a criminal lawyer and said someone can have sex with you and say still you are harassing them. Her comments made me very anxious and her attitude towards the respondent was very biased to him even though I paid her and he is the one that is likely to go to jail for his very serious matter offences.

Even at the end to make matters worst, he as asked to leave first and me after.. he had gone home I assumed..she was desperate to talk to him.. did not explain next steps to me and will happen and offered me nothing.. she didn’t even talk to me.. I have not heard from her since she ran off and probably found him.. it’s sad!

She read none of my evidence and kept on repeating his abusive lies back to me! Next week I’m looking to take her to court for professional negligence. She could have put my life in danger

She is dangerous and waste of money and time. Avoid

Stephanie was fantastic from the outset, she spoke and asked exactly what it was I wanted to get from the court proceedings. She communicated with me through out the hearing as I was a bit lost at times and she explained everything so I was able to understand everything and the outcome was fantastic for myself. Thank you Stephanie.

Stephanie acted as our Barrister very last minute. She got to grips with everything very quickly. She is very confident and spoke very well on our behalf. She gave very good advise and we are very grateful to her, We would not hesitate to recommend her.
Thank you Stephanie

I extend my sincere appreciation to Stephanie Heijdra for her representation in court. Her adept legal knowledge and assertive advocacy were instrumental in navigating through opposing arguments and ensuring clarity in the proceedings.

Stephanie's positive energy and humor effectively alleviated any anxiety. Her no-nonsense approach ensured that the court order aligned with what I required upholding fairness and prioritising the safety of my child.

Stephanie was truly invested in my case and this is the second time I have instructed her. She knew exactly what I was wanting to achieve and went over and above that to ensure that the bare minimum was what I wanted in the first place. She over-delivered with regards to what I was hoping for and I’m truly grateful for her honesty, determination and tenacity when it came to securing a result for myself.

I truly hope that I never need to call on Stephanie again, but if I need to go back to court at any point, I know who I want alongside myself in the courtroom.
