4PB 10 Paternoster Row, London EC4M 7HP

"It was the most devastating experience ever. Ms Miriam Best is the worst counsel you can imagine! She didn’t listen to your concerns and misrepresented me in the case of children matters in front of the high court. She has a fixed mindset and doesn’t weigh other legal options. Over one month of legal strategy and approach to my case together with family law solicitors was totally denied by Miriam just short before the hearing which cause enormous confusion to my solicitor and myself. In the court itself she got emotional and was very ignorant when I didn’t agree with her proposals, and finally forced me against my will to sign an agreement under threatening consequences. She just wanted to triumph in front of the judge that she „achieved“ and agreement. Her counterpart counsel was laughing about her incompetence. Also she submitted my position statement too late and got rebuked by the judge. I will seek legal steps against her and also will ask for compensation of the fees. I wrote also to 4PB and hope that they will take internal actions against her. Complete failure!!"

"Pretty much what you'd expect. Although I have never been so nicely treated. Thank You alll"

"Outstanding service. The best by far. Would recommend to anyone."

"Truely brilliant set. We could not of asked for more"

"A friend of mine has been in a legal battle since mid 2012 to regain access to his daughter. After they got separated, the mother of his only child refused access and told him to start legal proceedings if he wishes to see his daughter again. He has spent thousands of pounds on solicitors and if anything achieved a deterioration of his chances to see his daughter. Last week, with 3 days notice he was taken to court and threatened with Residence Order and to have to bear the cost of the Court proceedings. Instead of representing himself in person, he decided to hire a direct access barrister from 4 Paper Buildings this time. They were extremely friendly, fast to respond and achieved everything he wanted and more. He sent his access form only one day before the hearing during the half term holidays, and still got a barrister to represent him. The barrister lady only got a part of the documents (missing the previous court orders) at 4pm before the morning of the hearing. She nevertheless managed to send a 4 page note to the judge that evening summarising the case perfectly. Then she negotiated a deal with the other barrister before the Court hearing even started. She consulted him repeatedly to achieve the best result for him. The Residence order will be only considered on the next hearing as part of a comprehensive review of the case. The cost order has been dropped. She also incorporated a paragraph to push forward issues which have been delayed since the previous court hearing and thus gives my friend better chances to achieve a positive result on the next scheduled Court hearing in June. We can only thank 4 Paper Buildings legal clerks and barristers for their amazing contribution. Extremely professional."
