Colette Blackburn - an amazing professional to have on my side
After my wife and I separated, I found myself in an anxiey-filled world with what felt like nobody on my side. Colette was recommended to me and she has been amazing! Thank you again, Colette! She is a highly knowledgeable solictor who helped me to navigate the scary and complex process of divorce. She is patient, calm and logical. My ex wife tried to make the divorce process as difficult as possible, with Colette's help the process moved along in any case. I highly recommend her professional service.

Exceptional job!!!
Colette Blackburn truly deserves all the praise for the exceptional job she did in representing me during my divorce. From the very beginning, she took care of me and guided me through the long and arduous process, especially due to my ex-husband's uncooperative attitude. She kept me informed every step of the way and knew exactly when to push back against the law firm representing my ex-husband. Throughout the three-year journey, I felt completely supported and confident in Colette's abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation. Colette even selected an outstanding barrister for me, achieving a result that I had previously thought was impossible. Thank you, Colette, for your dedication and hard work. You have truly outshined JMW solicitors in this matter.

Thank you Colette Blackburn : )
Colette is exactly who you need. She listened and responded to my life, understanding what I needed as an individual and mother, tailoring her advice to suit my circumstances whilst offering me all reasonable alternatives. She put me back in control of my life at a time when the ground was shaking beneath me. She explained, calmly and carefully, legal terms that I was unfamiliar with and reminded me of the rights I was entitled to every time I felt like giving up. She was able to shine a light on unacceptable behaviour affording me both human and legal perspectives. Colette gave me timely, pragmatic, professional, considered advice that helped me to avoid the courts, avoid the drama, and concentrate on what was important. My independence and my children. I have so much to thank her for!
