Private Law - Shared Care - Fantastic Support
Melissa has been a tremendous support to myself over the last year as I challenged for equal shared care for my children. She kept me updated throughout the process, providing me with excellent advice and provided brilliant representation in court during the first hearing.
She made one of the most challenging parts of my life easier, gaining support from other departments in JWP when required. Appointments were always available when needed whether that was in-person or on a phone call.
Her advice and support ultimately helped me to obtain the best result (with the support of Barrister Asma Chaudhry in the final hearing).

Her and her team have been very patient, supporting and helpful during the most difficult time of my life. They provided me with the confidence, knowledge and honest and clear advise that I needed. I'll be grateful my whole life for everything and I would most definitely recommend JWP and Melissa to anyone.

Highly recommended
I would like to thank JWP Legal Limited and I highly recommend this law firm. They handled my case with the utmost professionalism and care. It was a difficult case and a really long procedure, however my solicitor Melissa Portlock has a thorough knowledge of the law, and it was brilliant preparation for the case which was solved efficiently. She is an excellent professional.
She always answered all my questions with great clarity and patience.
And I would like to express all my gratitude to the barrister Ms Emily Reed who defended my case in the Court with determination.
She thoroughly reviewed all the evidence in my case, prepared an exceptional strategy that led to my victory in court. Her preparation was remarkable. She was always available to answer my question and supporting me throughout my case, She demonstrated the deep understanding of my situation. Her professionalism and communications helped alleviate me with this difficult and emotional process.
I am deeply grateful for her service and highly recommend her to anyone facing a difficult procedure. She is absolutely knowledgeable, competent professional I have ever met.

Friendly and professional service.
I cannot begin to explain how grateful I am to have Melissa instructed as my solicitor. She listened to every single detail, got to know me and my family in order to be able to get across what is needed and why. The whole service with JWP was professional and easy. This included prompt response times from the whole team. As well as clear communication.
