Catherine Turner gave me great advice whilst trying to deal with an unreasonable/abusive ex-partner. As well as making sure I had all the facts and advice I needed Catherine took the time to listen to me and offered great support at a time when I needed it most.

Yatin was very helpful in explaining the procedures that I would face in regards to an SGO. He was fair, concise and made sure I was aware of what I was taking . Although we only had little contact because of the limited Legal Aid attributed to me, I felt he had my best interests at heart .

Through a very difficult process Emma and Beverley have been absolutely fantastic. They have helped advise, support and helped reduce the monumental stress of the EHCP. Their knowledge and expertise, working with the LA really helped us get the very best EHCP we could have hoped for. They have since given us follow up support in annual reviews and we will continue to use them each year. Thank you!

We also aim to make our services affordable. We are transparent on costs, with no hidden extras. At our first meeting we will go through the payment terms that are most suited to your means. Additionally, we often promote special offers. Legal aid has now largely disappeared but we remain one of the few firms in the Bristol area able to offer public funding from the Legal Aid Authority. Legal aid may now mainly be restricted to cases involving either child care cases or domestic violence but during our initial meeting with you we will be able to tell you whether you will be eligible for legal aid. We are proud to have won the Bristol Law Society Legal Aid Firm of the Year for 2013/2014.
