Care and consideration

5

Very professional organisation who genuinely care for their clients. Very helpful every step of the way and were consistently informative. Excellent understanding of points of law. Returned phone calls and answered emails in a timely fashion. Cannot express my thanks enough especially Ellie Jones. Expensive but aren't all solicitors? Good value for money however for the work carried out.

Refreshing transparent experience

5

I went to Ellie after have a negative experience with another firm. She was nothing other than professional, efficient, clear, and transparent. A couple of time she had to come back to me with news she knew I wouldn't want, but she was prepared with a new approach. She kept me updated all the way through and did not use unnecessary jargon which made thinks seem so much easier.

Ellie Jones supported me through a long 3 year divorce and financial settlement
Starting with a non molestation order/occupation order through to divorce and final hearing /FDR
At all times I felt like I was treated as an individual and Ellie was always on hand with prompt help and advise which was sometimes needed on a daily basis due to the nature of the circumstances-Sills can call on a team of experts who also give the same standard of Customer Service - I would highly recommend Ellie and her team
