Amazing and reliable.
I've been with wollens since 2022 for family court proceedings, having only recenting had proceedings come to an end, with a positive outcome for my child. It was a very upsetting and daunting time, especially with it being the 1st time in family court. Wollens (especially my solicitor, lydia Murray) have been amazing throughout the entire duration of proceedings. Very friendly, truthful and reliable. As somebody with anxiety, and someone who always overthinks, lydia was amazing at helping me, giving me advice, and always calming me, as well as ensuring I was okay. Very professional, and approachable. I was never made to feel silly for how I was feeling. Whilst working with lydia, she seemed to know how I would be feeling and what I'd be thinking, even before I had told her. She truly cares about her clients. I truly believe it's down to lydia, as well as the amazing barrister she booked for me, is the reason my child is having a meaningful yet safe relationship with his other parent. Can't thank lydia and the firm enough. Without fail, If I find myself back in proceedings in the future, my first stop will be wollens.
