Philip Cowell came recommended via a friend to legally take me through a divorce. The recommendation proved to be a good one as Philip's years of experience, his listening ear, his skill for dotting the i's and crossing the t's made a very sad and worrying time just about bearable knowing that the outcome of my future was in capable hands.

10 years after the event still very grateful.
Phil just wanted to say thank you for your professionalism and expertise 10 years ago when he helped me extract myself from a complex situation. Underneath his calm exterior there's an absolute beast of a Lawyer.
Have just recommended you Phil to a friend hence why I needed to look you up and just wanted to say thank you again I wouldn't be where I am today had you not put in the work you did.
Forever gratefull.

There was a lot of empathy from Phil and dealt with my situation in a complete professional manner.He went above and beyond to make me understand the process and settle things in the most rational way. I would recommend them happily to anybody who need their services as they are easily accessible any time throughout the process and it felt like every member of staff had a human side in my most difficult times though they had to be professional.

Very happy with the service and how the whole procedure was managed from the initial meeting right to the end. When I was at my lowest and at times, it was very frustrating, your professionalism and empathy was what was needed at a very difficult time. Thank you ever so much, I would recommend Philip Cowell (but I don’t want to see him again!!!! - please don’t take offence!)
