From the very beginning, Peter handled my case with the utmost professionalism, empathy, and determination. He was not only superb throughout but has truly changed my life thanks to his relentless effort and dedication, I am now able to see my daughter again.
Peter guided me through every step of the process with clarity and compassion. His communication was flawless, always keeping me informed explaining things in a way I could easily understand, and offering genuine support during what I call the most emotionally challenging moments of my life.
His efficiency, attention to detail, and well-articulated advocacy stood out from day one. It was evident that he cared deeply about the outcome of my case, and his expertise gave me the confidence I needed during such a difficult time.

Brilliant Service from Peter
I cannot rate Peter Dadswell highly enough. For over 2 years he handled my very messy and disruptive divorce. During this period, Peter not only executed all aspects of numerous financial hearings and child access hearings expertly and to success, he has also been a comforting guide to me through some very dark times. Always professional, I appreciated his open, honest and calm guidance through everything that occurred from separation to final divorce settlements and beyond. I can honestly say there is no better lawyer to have in your corner. Thank you Peter.

Fully recommend
I had the luck to have Peter on my side. The type of divorce that should not go through the courts as mentioned by couple of judges, but dealing with inflictive controlling spouse,there was no other way. Peter helped me to guide me through the storm, always trying to find solution while courageously balancing the imbalance in relationship. Peter has been recommended to me and I am gladly passing the recommendation on.

Divorce and Children
I couldn't recommend Peter Dadswell enough. He's been outstanding throughout. In very difficult circumstances and through the toughest times of my life. Its been reassuring knowing I've had Peter in my corner. Advising me on what I should and shouldn't be doing but also making me aware of the financial costs on a regular basis so I didn't insure any unexpected costs. I'm sure my estranged wife in hindsight wishes she had got Peter before me.
Thank you so much Peter. I will be forever grateful.

I would very much like to thank Peter Dadswell for all his support in helping me navigate throughout what has been an extremely stressful process. It is not a journey I chose to travel through, but from our first meeting to discuss my situation and having his honest, knowledgeable and guiding support throughout is something that I will never be able to thank him enough for.
