Stephanie Heijdra Barrister Avis 

Stephanie was great from the very beginning we met outside court. She made me feel at ease and confident before going into the courtroom. I look forward to working with you in the future! Highly recommend!!

Stephanie provided representation for me during a dispute with my ex about child relocation. Although she was brought in late during the case, she managed to get me the outcome I wanted within 30 minutes (much better than I envisioned the hearing would go). She was calm, articulate and really knew all the relevant law on child relocation. I am extremely grateful to her for the successful outcome of my hearing and would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an exceptional barrister. Thank you Stephanie.

Stephanie has been amazing throughout my child arrangement case that involved international dispute. Stephanie takes her time to understand all factors affecting the case and is very empathetic and clever on how to best position your stance and articulate your needs. Going through the unpleasant experience of standing before a judge to discuss matters related to my son was made smooth and easy by Stephanie, thank you so much!

Stephany's approach was refreshingly unorthodox, diverging from what I initially anticipated. However, this strategy proved to be highly effective. She demonstrated unwavering commitment to my case, ensuring that every avenue was explored to achieve the best possible outcome.

Her adept handling of the jury showcased her persuasive communication skills and deep understanding of the legal intricacies involved. Additionally, her proficiency in orchestrating negotiations, particularly concerning scheduling matters, was commendable.

Stephany's dedication, strategic acumen, and professionalism were evident throughout the proceedings. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a barrister who combines innovative thinking with effective advocacy.

Ms. Stephanie was absolutely amazing and managed to get the result we wanted. She was so articulate and really knew all the relevant case law. Absolutely amazing and I would not hesitate to reccomend her to anyone 100%. Thank you so much Stephanie. I will definitely be using your services again.

Ms. Stephanie Heijdra provided representation for me in a complex child custody hearing. My case presented numerous challenges, which Stephanie adeptly navigated, effectively advocating on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of the relevant legal principles was evident, and I was particularly impressed by her ability to address issues with expediency and precision. I am highly satisfied with the outcome of the hearing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a just and equitable resolution to their legal matters.

Stephanie Heijdra represented me in my final hearing at family court. She was bought on very late and even though the case seemed simple there was a lot of court room antics to manoeuvre which she did with ease. Initially Stephanie tried to reach agreements but quickly realised it was futile and went ahead to fight for everything in court. She didn’t miss a beat and easily displayed the character on the opposing bench and I ended up with a very happy outcome. Much better than I ever envisaged. She was calm (even when I was not!) and knew the law inside and out. She wasn’t flustered or intimidated by the team of legals she was up against and I would definitely use her again if I need to!

Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She represented me at contested final hearing and was so good, she presented my case excellently. I can not fault her in any way. She has given me hope that I am going to remain a significant figure in my children’s lives and for that I’m eternally grateful. Amazing barrister and great individual.

Stephanie Heijdra was great at the hearing and got me the relief that I so much wanted. She was responsive during the prep stage and was extremely confident & articulate before the judge.

Stephanie represented me for a two day final hearing, and was absolutely fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and good at thinking on her feet. We had a tricky case but she managed to settle the main issues before we even spoke to the Judge. She is professional and articulate, and knows how to fight for her clients. I am extremely grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anybody looking for an exceptional barrister.

Stephanie was tenacious in the handling and representation of my case.

She took my thoughts, feeling and views into account and translated them perfectly in court.

I cannot recommend Stephanie Heijdra highly enough as a divorce barrister. Stephanie's expertise, compassion, and dedication to her clients are evident in every interaction, and her professionalism is unmatched. From our first consultation, she listened carefully, fully grasping not only the complexities of my case but also the personal toll it had taken. Her deep understanding of family law allowed her to craft a strategic plan that felt both achievable and grounded in her extensive legal experience.

Stephanie kept me informed at every stage, explaining complex legal details in a way that made me feel empowered and reassured. During proceedings, her calm demeanor and confident presence in court were invaluable, as she advocated for my interests with both tenacity and respect.

Stephanie's genuine empathy and understanding made an incredibly challenging time much more manageable. She balanced strong advocacy with sensitivity, never losing sight of the human element amidst legal proceedings.

I have been going through a divorce for four years today was the finale
Stephanie was excellent very thorough and got my side of the argument very well
I expected to have to pay my ex thousands but that wasn’t the case
An excellent barrister I recommend if anybody out there needs one to defend them then this lady is the one you need to pick
Thank you Stephanie you are awesome

I met Steph around 2017 when I was about to process my wife’s visa to the UK.
Ever since then Steph has remained my family solicitor. All her work on our application has all been successful and on time too. Her expert advice on the case has always been exceptional. Her knowledge of UK immigration laws and policies is second to non. From the beginning of my wife’s application till her ILR, we have not had any queries from the home office and on all these her fees remains the most affordable.
Her compassionate and flexible attitude when it comes to fee payment remains the best.
If you need a very straightforward and successful immigration application please, look for Stephanie.

Stephanie Heijdra is amazing!!
She knows the law like the back of her hand, really helped me today to get the results I wanted, really attentive with her clients, couldn’t have asked for a better barrister. Would highly recommend, thanks again 🙏🙏

Stephanie represented me in family child contact proceedings in early 2024.
Throughout my case, Stephanie provided more than just the legal support I was looking for, and she adopted an empathetic view of my situation.
Despite the odds being stacked against me previously, I was proud to have Stephanie represent me in a FFH and her professionalism and experience shone through during the cross examinations.
She shows compassion throughout a very tough case for me and I felt she fought for me every step of the way until the end of the proceedings.

Stephanie was an absolute genius in her approach and strategic planning. I will absolutely recommend her as an avid Counsel on Family Law. Her advocacy and negotiation skills are outstanding and excellent 👌 Thank you Stephanie for your work and support throughout the ordeal.

I instructed Stephanie as a direct access barrister for a family court matter. Stephanie was very competent and had a very good understanding of the family court and explained to me how best to position my case. I appreciated the fact that Stephanie listened to me but did not just agree with me but instead explained how I could achieve better results by altering my position. During the hearing she was able to quote case law which I believed helped my case and is something I would have not used in my case otherwise. Thanks to Stephanie I managed to get what I was asking for and I would highly recommend Stephanie for a family court matter.

We instructed Stephanie after child withheld by mother for 9 months.
The day could not have gone any better. She knows her stuff and within a couple of hours a shared care order and the child was back with his father that same weekend! We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for bringing our family back together again.
