What my clients say

I was impressed by Samantha's professionalism and attention to detail. Samantha was able to secure victory on a case that felt hopeless on paper. Thank you so much and Highly recommend TBG. Sam was very helpful in organising and facilitating the booking Samantha"

"I was put in the very capable and experienced hands of Samantha Phumaphi a Barrister who steered me through a very difficult time with patience and understanding securing a very welcome outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone going through a horrendous family situation. The fees when considering what was at stake were very reasonable."

"I have had disappointing experiences with family law solicitors and the barristers they have instructed on my behalf since 2019. I suppose I learnt the hard way and eventually made a decision to represent myself and if needs be enlist the help of a direct access barrister as and when needed.
I have used Samantha Phumaphi on three occasions now this year and going forward I would only seek her assistance should I need legal assistance in Children’s or Financial matters.
I highly recommend her."
"Samantha did a really wonderful job as my barrister. She picked up all the details of the case very quickly and was very attentive and responsive. Would certainly recommend her service to others. Went above and beyond in her job to help me."
