We asked Francine Bristo why she chose family law…

“I wanted to become a family lawyer because the law fascinated me and I enjoy people, the law alone was too dry.  I like listening to people’s problems and helping them to find the light at the end of the tunnel.   I try to be understanding and empathetic without getting too involved in the emotion and I am to help my  clients to reach a solution that works for them.  I like to support clients by calmly taking on management of the legal process so that they don’t have to worry about this aspect of things when they have so much else to deal with.  It is really satisfying and a privilege to journey with my clients through what can be a very difficult time in their lives”.
