Civil Matter
I recently found myself involved in an unnecessary civil matter and was served court papers 48 hours prior to needing to be in court. I called Cygnet Law and spoke to Melanie Wood who gave me some advice and declared that if it goes to trial, she would be more than willing to represent me. Due to the elements of the case, not connected to me, it was deemed trial worthy.
Spoke to Mel and was in the office by the end of the week with Mel working on the case, taking the stress away from myself, with a clear idea on how to tackle the case. Mel took the lead on my statement and was clear in her advice when I wanted to submit information she deemed unnecessary. All advice Mel gave was the right call and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Mel arranged a barrister for my day in court, however, on the day of the hearing, the other side decided to drop the case, which was Mel’s goal from the outset.
I’ve not previously encountered a situation like this and didn’t really know how to access support. My initial enquiry was responded to professionally and courteously for which I was grateful as it became a stressful situation and Mel was helpful and supportive throughout.
I do not want to be in that situation again but if I am, I would not hesitate to give Mel Woods and Cygnet Law a call.

Divorce
I was with another solicitor company before I moved to Melanie at cygnet law.
Melanie is a very good listener and knowledgeable, calm and understanding. I have told my friends and family to use cygnet law.
She helped me every step of the way through my divorce. I would definitely recommend Melanie and the team.

Family law
Mel is a very good solicitor who was extremely professional but at the same time realistic and put everything in simpler terms and explained everything to me. She was always available to contact and very approachable

Professional and thorough family law solicitor.
Melanie became my solicitor when she 'inherited' me from a colleague who moved on and seamlessly got into the driving seat, handling my case with professionalism and confidence. I admire her skill in negotiating large ego's without aggravating situations.
I have only the highest praise for Melanie and Coral and the support and service they gave me.
