I’ve been dealing with the family law group for a couple of years now over access issues with my children. Amanda and Suzanne was my main solicitor however on my final court date was with Mary chilinski and she was more than an adequate step in she was superb, she went into full detail of my situation with Amanda and Suzanne she gathered ample details about my case and who she was dealing with, answered emails out of hours ( to which I didn’t expect her to ) which was amazing because it didn’t leave you dwelling on an answers over night , she was open, honest and straight up front with my situation, to me that’s how I work and I prefer that approach I walked into the court room with nothing and walked out of there with some resemblance of power for myself and my head was held high afterwards fully recommend Mary and the family law group.

Amanda Brown, Suzanne Walton, Mary Chilinski were a beacon of hope to my case at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only were they very knowledgeable in their dealings and assistance, Their calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most(My children). I am eternally grateful for their services within their various capacities and I hereby recommend FLG

Update: Finally divorced … that was long and complicated process highly recommend Amanda Brown extremely professional solicitor

Is now 8 Mounts in to a divorce 3 times I receive refusal 1 time was because of not enough evidences after my “SOLICITOR “ say that medical examination and domestic abuse advocate are not really evidences that we need for the court 2 time refusal after the my “SOLICITOR” decide that video evidences can not be uploaded to a court 3 refusal come as The application will need to be re-submitted to the Court who will then pass it to the Judge once more for consideration as the Judge don’t accept electronic signature also there was missing page in the documents but the most interesting part of all that is my “SOLICITOR” doesn’t even bother to tell me that this can be possible reason for refusal… THANK YOU SO MUCH my “SOLICITOR” Suzanne Walton for the lost 8 months and all stress Amanda Brown take over the case after complain and issue a refund on the flat solicitor charge and continue the case entirely free of charge let see what will happen

PS: to the future clients of that firm if you have a little bit of self dignity better choice someone else to represent You …

I have worked with Family Law Group from 2016 till 2020 through Legal Aid. That was a very complicated and long divorce with financial resolution case due to other sides total lack of cooperation and myself moving abroad. Family Law Group not only secured my Legal Aid Support but worked successfully to freeze my ex husband asset and made him pay with interest. Special gratitude and recommendation to
Alexandra Kelly, who wasn't afraid to take very difficult decisions, tested a new solutions and always stood by me. The service I have received from Amanda Brown's team has been outstanding and I can not recommend them enough. Thank you for all your hard work !!!
