Fantastic help in a tricky situation

5

Jonathan and Catriona were both incredibly helpful in resolving what was, to put it mildly, a very difficult situation. Their years of experience and knowledge of family law, helped ensure the best outcome possible. Their communication was friendly, honest, efficient and informative.
I highly recommend them to anyone who needs help in this area.

After a prolonged divorce case that ended up running for a number of years my details was passed over to Johnathan Corbishley and his paralegal Henna Aietan. I have been constantly impressed with the service I received especially communication, advice and guidance from Henna. With her help my case was resolved in a timely manner with limited fuss, a credit to the industry.

I had the absolute luck of being recommended Family law group Derby.
I had yet another great stroke of luck of being assigned Jonathan, Henna and the rest of the team.

Jonathan was frankly a life saver- he was fair and balanced, he was knowledgeable without fault in every aspect of what we needed, and frankly delivered on every account.
He would work and contact me at every hour, and put himself out to assist, acting as a friend, mediator, advisor- you name it, he did it.
The end result was everything I wanted- and I have no doubt it was thanks to Jonny and the team. side note- we also used the inhouse barrister Tony Woods. HE was Brilliant and delivered in a spectacular manner, I couldn't recommend him enough.

Would absolutely recommend to anybody who requires any sort of legal advice... Its a horrible time, Jonny and the team provided a much needed light, and were absolutely perfect.

I've used Family Law Group in Derby on two occasions now for family matters. They have responded promptly and efficiently to matters, and dealt with things in a highly professional manner. I have been treated with the utmost respect. Not only have they handled our case delicately and successfully, it was also a personal experience - where my feelings and situation were cared for and I did not feel like 'just another client'. I was kept informed throughout the process, and reassured in moments of doubt during our case, and always put at ease. I was supported in every step of the process, and by all I came into contact with (Henna, Catriona, and Jonathan). I would highly recommend the Derby division to anyone. I am sincerely grateful for everything Catriona and Jonathan (especially) did to help our family.
