Advice on variation of maintenance application

I was delighted with the legal advice and the service I received from Family Law during my variation to maintenance application. I found them very supportive, highly professional and extremely easy to work with. Thank you for all your help.

Child Arrangements & Divorce

5

I can wholeheartedly recommend Rachel Nicholl, Grace Savage, Eden Palmer and the rest of the Horsham team. I reached out to the firm under extremely stressful circumstances (having received aggressive and unpleasant correspondence from a city firm instructed by my daughter's father which demanded response within 24 hours). From the very first meeting with Rachel and Grace, I felt reassured that I would be supported, listened to, and given appropriate and sensible guidance and advice. Ultimately, I am so pleased with the outcome, and know that I could only have achieved this with their team's support. Thanks to their hard work, I am now able to focus on building a new life for myself and my child and moving forwards as a coparent.

A long and winding road

5

My relationship with FLP began shortly before the first lockdown, only ending more than three years later after a protracted divorce process drawn, out further by court backlogs and pandemic-related delays. FLP were a delight to work with: thoroughly professional and courteous at all times. I was particularly impressed by their willingness to carefully explain the intricacies of process that can at times be complex and stressful. I cannot recommend them highly enough - lovely people to work with.

Find a solicitor who specialises in the area of the law you require

If you are unfortunate enough to be making a tortuous TOLATA claim on a property as the non resident co-owner, my advice based on my experience would be to avoid this firm. Seek out a firm with more specialist knowledge. My solicitor was happy to bat letters back and forth with a hostile other side as my bill mounted significantly. I have since discovered from a more specialist solicitor that much of the correspondence was irrelevant to my case.

As a firm, we generate a significant amount of work from the recommendations of professional colleagues and clients and as such, it is always disappointing to read a negative review. In TOLATA cases there are often significant disputes as to fact on a range of legal and emotive issues, and solutions are most often achieved by compromise through communications or through successful findings after a trial. The former may not work and incurs costs trying and the latter is significantly more expensive. We are a solution focussed firm and are always conscious of the risk and costs of tribunal-based litigation. TOLATA cases tend to be front-loaded cost-wise, and it is sensible to involve Counsel for an early conference to assess risk, assist with strategy, and costs protection. We are confident we are a specialist firm but equally, we recognise your experience is not as we would have hoped for. We wish you well in resolving matters.

Separation

5

Separation.
Rachel Nicoll handled my problem in a very professional and proactive manner. She always kept me informed and up to date as progress was made. Her negotiation skills are excellent.
I sincerely hope that this matter is a once in a lifetime experience. However, if I found myself needing legal assistance in the future, I would certainly contact her.

Kate Elliott was recommended to me by a friend and what a recommendation. From start to finish, both Kate and Rachel were very supportive, understanding and easy to deal with. I now will be recommending them.

Testimonial for Rachel Nicholl

I met Rachel for a coffee with the thought that she may have clients that could benefit from my help. I had helped other women to believe in their self-worth and stay strong in the knowledge that they deserved to be happy. I understood how easy it is to be drawn back into a repeated pattern of despair and isolation. And, as Rachel and I chatted I realised how much she understood and helped her clients in a kind and non-judgmental way.
For me it was a slowly dawning process when I realised that I was one of those women and I had had enough. I wanted a new and independent life. Could I possibly get a divorce? Wouldn’t it be too complicated? Where on earth would I start?
Easy! I gave Rachel a call. The process was not pleasant and if I had not of had Rachel in my corner I may easily have weakened. But I did have Rachel who was knowledgeable, reassuring, supportive and professional. She made a horrendous time in my life bearable, she had my back and made sure all eventualities were covered. She helped me stay strong and focused on the end result – Freedom to be happy, freedom to be me.
Thank you so much Rachel for everything you did to help me. I would, without a shadow of doubt, recommend Rachel Nichol as a family lawyer and a lovely kind person.

I used Family Law Partners for help with a Variation Order to an old Spousal Maintenance Agreement. I thought bRachel was very professional, responsive and prompt with her advice. Thank you, as it is all sorted now!
