Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend!

Exceptional Service - Highly recommend! I used Alexander JLO again and I felt completely in safe hands again. Thank you so much!

Martha and Peter were simply fantastic, very professional and kept me calm and reassured at all times. Peter's and Martha's genuine support and kindness will always be remembered with much gratitude. You will be the first I will think of for any future legal work and I will also recommend JLO Solicitors to my family and friends.

Thanks very much Peter & Martha!

Peter Johnson exceptional service

Peter Johnson and Alexander JLO represented me in a personal and family business matter for over 3 years. From my initial introduction, I felt completely in safe hands.
Peters constant focus on my personal welfare and commitment to achieving my desired outcomes was evident throughout our engagement.
His calm, professional, and patient manner and guidance made working through the lengthy dispute bearable, providing me with reassurance and support during a challenging time.
Peters no-nonsense approach when dealing with the opposition was instrumental in ultimately achieving a successful outcome.
I wholeheartedly recommend Peter Johnson to anyone seeking legal representation. His assistance has been invaluable, and thanks to his expertise, I can now confidently move forward with my life.

Thank you once again for the exceptional service and support.

I know one thing. I thank god he was working for me rather than my ex.

5

Some may think rates are high, but you really do get what you pay for. This firm was able to fend off a top flight solicitors firm. Kept me in the loop at all times and offered me paths to take with pros and cons. Rather than increase your costs, this firm actually suggests ways to save costs overall. If you are undergoing a divorce, choose them. They are fair and very good value for money. Shrewd tacticians.

I first found Peter from Yellow Pages and thank goodness I did!

I was involved in a complicated divorce involving 2 EU countries. His specialized knowledge was absolutely invaluable and saved me from disaster! Its totally thanks to him that I have had the funds to reestablish a good lifestyle and I can open a better quality of wine to-night! His advice was always practical and down to earth and I found him great to work with. I trust him absolutely and would definately recommend him.

He allows the client to control timing and pace

5

I wanted access to a London lawyer to match the other side in divorce proceedings. What I think distinguishes Peter's service from the average is that he not only displays the knowledge and experience required but he combines this with cute psychological and tactical awareness. He allows the client to control timing and pace. He negotiated a brilliant financial settlement adopting toughness when needed. Fees more than a local firm outside London but you get what you pay for!

Thank you Peter

Having known Peter for some time, he has been of great help to me in my 'business issues' Common sense always at the fore. A great depth of knowledge and if he doesn't know then he has a network to call upon. Only four stara on fees, as I never like paying fees! What i like most is that if i have a question, his advise is quick, secure and works. Really good to find someone who works with you.

From the moment I called Martha, I was reassured by her immense calmness, sensitivity, kindness, support and professionalism. I cannot rate this business any higher. I am so very grateful for the exceptional service I received from the Martha-Peter team. Although I have used different sections of Alexander JLO for years for conveyancing and other matters, I had never required this specific type of legal expertise / support before. Martha always went over and above what was required, responding to emails out of hours, evenings and at weekends, when this was definitely more than what was expected from her. It was not only the professional support that was exceptional, but the personalised touch, the uniquely tailored support and encouragement, the superb individualised advocacy, the meticulous attention to detail, and the hugely successful negotiating. Martha and Peter's team-work is extraordinary in the manner in which they perform together so seamlessly and flawlessly to offer the most advantageous, comprehensive, ethical and accurate legal advice possible. What is different is the very gentle, non-confrontational manner in which they present their advice, holding your hand and guiding you throughout, whilst not pressurising you to make any swift decisions. The number of times I was asked to sleep on it before making a decision, really saved me from making irrational or regrettable choices. The professional advice that you receive is essentially 2-for-1 expertise. The service I received was amazing and so reassuring, especially as the Martha-Peter duo easily took on some of the biggest legal names in the city. I cannot thank Martha and Peter enough for what they have achieved and I cannot rate them highly enough. Thank you!

Alexander JLO are by far the most professional company, with outstanding dedicated staff, that I have ever had to be a client of. Martha, Guy and Peter handled my case with sound experienced advice and lots of support. I would use them again in a heartbeat. They responded to every communication and used their expertise to guide me and made me feel supported in every decision. Simply the best solicitors you would want acting for you.

I actually contacted this firm a few years ago whilst in a terrible situation and at risk of homelessness. I was a single, young and vulnerable female who needed quick and efficient action against a housing association.
I immediately got a response from Peter, who was kind, swift and very calm in his manner. The problem was solved within 48 hours; and moreover, seeing I was in a terrible situation, did not charge me the fees he was due. I was helped in an honest way by someone who genuinely cared.
Mine was a particularly unusual circumstance so I wouldn’t imagine that you will have any fees waived for your own dealings - however, in a world that revolves around money, it is rare to find that kind of integrity. And that says a lot.
I would not hesitate to recommend this firm, and Peter particularly.
Throughout the entire situation, I did not once have to wait or chase for a reply - communication and resolution was swift, efficient and effective.
I recently got in contact to thank London-Law for how they dealt with my case. I will never forget how much their help saved me from a terrible circumstance.
Thank you! I would recommend you to everyone who asked!
