Stephanie Heijdra Barrister Avis 127

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.
Amazing thank you!

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. Thanks to her, I felt supported through proceedings, and I’m deeply grateful for the positive resolution she achieved.
If you're in need of a barrister who combines exceptional legal acumen with a sincere dedication to her clients, Stephanie Heijdra is the one you want by your side.

Stephanie is just the best described as an angel in disguise gets to the core of the situation and really makes a difference we will definitely be using Stephanie again for our next hearing. Goes above and beyond. Stephanie you really are amazing thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything.

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.

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.
