A Compassionate Legal Champion: A Review of Jane Tenquist
I cannot express enough gratitude for Jane Tenquist and her exceptional team at Myerson. During one of the most challenging periods of my life, they provided invaluable legal counsel and unwavering support.
Ms Jane Tenquist is not only a brilliant legal mind but also an incredibly compassionate and understanding individual. She approached my divorce and financial settlement case with a keen eye for detail and a strategic approach, ensuring I received the best possible outcome. Her ability to navigate complex legal matters with ease and clarity was truly impressive.
Beyond her legal expertise, Jane Tenquist possesses a unique ability to connect with her clients on a personal level. She listened attentively to my concerns, answered my questions patiently, and provided guidance that helped me navigate the emotional turmoil of the process. Her genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience.
The entire team at Myerson was equally exceptional including Nichola Bright, Pam Ackerley and Sarah Whitelegge. They were always responsive, efficient, and professional. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and I felt confident that I was in good hands throughout the entire process.
I wholeheartedly recommend Myerson and her team to anyone facing a similar situation. Their expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to their clients are truly commendable.

Outstanding service, polite, helpful and very professional.
I have had two dealings with Jane Tenquist in the last 6 months and each time she has given sound, honest and reliable advice. Following her instructions I am at the end stage of a divorce. I have followed Janes advice throughout the this process and I have not hit many bumps in the road, I can however see where I would have fell fowl without the information that she gave me,
It is also worth noting that I am currently a serving member of the British armed forces and she gave me additional advice in a real time of desperation when I was outside of the UK with no access to a telephone.
Thank you for your assistance Jane, I will be using you if I ever need legal representation in the future! You really are a credit to genuine honest people.

Divorce & financial settlement
Jane Tenquist was my solicitor at Myerson. Jane was very professional and highly competent.
She dealt with some very difficult issues on my behalf and was also supportive to my emotional needs which was important to me. There were times when I also felt she went beyond my expectations to try and achieve a secure future for myself.

It was extremely gratifying that we managed to conclude matters to my complete satisfaction with a court judgement in my favour. As such I would have no hesitation in recommending Myerson
Mine was a longstanding case which related to alimony payments dating back to my divorce in 2002. I had attempted to resolve this on two separate occasions with other firms of solicitors without success. I happened to mention this to a property partner at Myerson who I know, and he recommended that I try their family law practice. I was introduced to Jane Tenquest who I found to be both very knowledgeable and professional whilst at the same time very easy to relate to. Following our initial conference she gave me the confidence to pursue the case once again.
