Caroline (a partner in the firm and Lindsay (legal assistant and office manager) were extremely helpful towards me when I had a problem regarding parental responsibility for my ward. At all times they were totally professional and communicated regularly and effectively with me. In our teams meeting Caroline was easy to talk to and reassuring.

Financial Settlement and Divorce
I would like to thank Caroline, Lindsay and all of the team at Watson Morris for the professional way they have acted on my behalf for getting me over the finish line.
Caroline is highly responsive, a firm hand and pragmatic in her advice guiding me through all the emotions and frustrations experienced and achieving the best result possible for me.
She understood the whole process completely and knew her way through all the issues that arose, guiding the case to a highly successful private FDR with a superb Barrister.
A real pleasure to deal with and I am extremely grateful to you for this.

Divorce and Financial matters
I cannot thank Watson Morris enough for their professional help, advice and support during the most difficult phase of my life. No matter when I needed to make a call, even in the most urgent of times, an adviser would always be on hand to guide me. Caroline is the most professional individual in the way she addresses every situation presented, however also has a personal, empathetic touch when managing emotions. I was an individual who knew nothing about the divorce process and I felt all the advice I received was easy to understand. Thank you to the team at Watson Morris for getting me to the end! I would highly recommend Watson Morris for all aspects of family law.

Supporting me through divorce
Overall I thought the experience was very supportive with thoughtful, pragmatic and commercial advice offered throughout each stage of the process. I particularly appreciated the speed of turning around documents quickly when it mattered most. It was lovely to feel that I had someone who I could ask questions of at any time who gave me an empathetic, human response. I would not hesitate to recommend Caroline to anyone else requiring support through a divorce. First class service. Thank you.
