Highly recommended

Kind, professional, authentic, understanding, considerate and respectful are just a few words that echo my experience with Denise. She has lots of professional experience which is clear in her practice. I felt a valued individual at all times, which is so important when going through painful emotional situations. You know that you are in safe hands with Denise and her team.

Denise made me feel immediately at ease and showed empathy whilst guiding me through how I can legally handle my situation. It was refreshing to speak to someone with sound legal knowledge whilst keeping that human touch, a balance I feel Denise has the right mix of, thank you Denise.

Took the drama out of Divorce

5

After being Divorced for 6 years, I needed professional support to move forward. I was moving out of the family home and needed to agree the final amounts to pay off my ex. Previously, we had signed an agreement based on selling the property once the children had left home. However, there was a loop hole in the original financial agreement, that did not include an option of me keeping the property. I have been fortunate enough to keep the property and now have it as a rental. I had been trying for months to get my ex to agree our final financial arrangements. There were no solution based communications and time was running out; until Denise Head came into the picture. We had a tidy 1 hour meeting. Emails back and forth to keep both sides updated. I was sent off to pull together more supporting documents while Denise drafted the final offer; and in the end our formal agreement. She was direct and efficient. She took the drama out of Divorce. She confirmed my rights and pulled together a fair and direct offer. And we completed our arrangement 2 months ahead of schedule. Money well spent. Thank you for helping me start my new chapter in such a clean way.

Review of legal consultation regarding financial settlement

5

Hi,
I found Denis very professional and extremely helpful.I outlined details of my case and received very condensed information which should help me move my case in the right direction.After the call from Denis Head I am much more calm and optimistic about outcome of my struggle.She talked me through the process, what to expect and also she advised me on specific wording of crucial aspects of correspondence to be sent to solicitors representing my ex wife.Very professional...

Support

I�have been with BW&B for many years. I cannot express or know where to begin to thank Denise Head and the firm for their professionalism, support and services. They were there for me every step of my journey. I just had to email or pick up the phone and advice was at the other end.

I have been with BWB for many years. I can not thank Denise Head and her firm enough for their support and hardwork. They were with me every step. I just had to email or pick up the phone advise was at the other end. I highly recommend this firm for any of your issues/situations. They are simply the best, not just saying because of my case. I have had many other firms and never received any empathy or understanding from anyone other then this firm.
Thank you BWB.

Quite possibly the best solicitors I have dealt with. The advice I have received from both Denise Head and Andy Tawell, has been experienced, impartial, knowledgeable and highly professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, eager to help and advise where they could. I honestly can not thank the team enough for what they have done. Truly outstanding professionals.
