Clean break divorce
I supported my daughter Rachel through her divorce and we first instructed a local solicitor to handle the case but after a short time decided to move on a strong recommendation from a friend to Jones Myers and we were both glad we did.
Richard and Becky gave us both confidence in that we would achieve the best outcome possible.
Many thanks to the both of you.

Divorce Proceedings.
My experience of working alongside Richard, Rosanna and Kate, in difficult circumstances throughout divorce proceedings, was one of consistent support, high quality guidance and advice. I would be happy to recommend them all and Jones Myers as highly professional and knowledgeable, it was a top quality service from first meeting, through to the conclusion of the divorce.
