Can not recommend enough

This is the second time I have used Watkins solicitors and I highly recommend them. I was represented this time by Daisy and she did a fab job in court. And we got the outcome we hoped for.

Fantastic experiences family solicitors

5

Watkins solicitors have been absolutely incredible and amazing during my difficult family court battle that has been ongoing for years.

Despite I was a tricky client, they were so kind, patient and understanding. They always went out their way to help me. Nothing was ever an issue or inconvenience for them. They even accommodated around my family commitments and would contact me at convenient times for me!

I can now finally breathe and say the court battle is over and that’s all thanks to them! I cannot recommend them enough. Massive credit in particular to Beverley, Sophia, Hakima and Caitlin.

Wonderful team and firm.

I will be sure to happily use them again.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me and my family finally be free.

Outstanding Legal Support and Professionalism

5

I recently had the pleasure of working with Daisy Barrows for family law case, and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of service provided. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, she demonstrated exceptional expertise and commitment to ensuring my needs were met.

The communication throughout the process was clear and timely, and I always felt well-informed and confident in the advice I received. The professionalism and dedication to my case were evident, and I felt genuinely supported every step of the way.

I highly recommend Watkins solicitors team for anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation. Their thorough knowledge, attention to detail, and client-focused approach set them apart in a crowded field.

Thank you for your outstanding service!

Amazing support from Sophie Sims

5

Sophie Sims. Is phenomenal, kind and incredibly professional. She guided me through the most horrible emotionally draining process with such kindness. She was so efficient and explained everything to me. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always there for me whenever advice was needed. We can't thank you enough.

Non Molestation order put in place

5

I would just like to Thank Daisy Burrows and her team for their dedication and work and support on obtaining a Non Molestation Order in my favour..
I was extremely impressed with the care and efficiency and communication with myself on this matter.
I would most definitely use and highly recommended her services when needed by myself or anyone who need a confidential and legal matter completed.

Non-Molestation Order

5

Daisy Burrows was excellent. I have no court experience, and the establishment of this order is life changing. Daisy metaphorically held my hand all the way through. Without Watkins Solicitors and Nextlink this would not have been possible. I am eternally grateful.

Thank you to Beverley and Emma with our SEN appeal, which was successful. Seemed a bit last minute/rushed at times, but didn't seem to be a barrier to producing documents of quality which I guess comes from experience. Also open to feedback and responsive on email, so thank you

100% professional, caring & helpful from day 1 to the end. Urgently needed help with EHCP after long battle trying to help our daughter, Emma & Beverley took all the pressure off, listened, acted & were positive & achieved the outcome we long awaited. I couldn’t praise them more, Emma is fantastic at her job, straight to the point, no time wasting ever & always does exactly what she says.. the most efficient woman I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with, so reassuring and refreshing! I would use this company again if needed & definitely recommend to all. Thank you ladies you’ve made a huge difference in our lives & we definitely wouldn’t of achieved this without you.

After an extremely difficult time navigating the SEN system , I recieved the required outcome with the support of Beverley Watkins. As others have said in their reviews Beverley is very experienced in the education field and fights for what is right for her clients. Without Beverley's support I wouldn't be starting the placement of my choice nor would I be receiving the required level of support and education ..Thank you so much for the support from Beverley and her amazing team.

Through a very difficult process Emma and Beverley have been absolutely fantastic. They have helped advise, support and helped reduce the monumental stress of the EHCP. Their knowledge and expertise, working with the LA really helped us get the very best EHCP we could have hoped for. They have since given us follow up support in annual reviews and we will continue to use them each year. Thank you!
