Watkins solicitors have been absolutely incredible and amazing during my difficult family court battle that has been ongoing for years.
Despite I was a tricky client, they were so kind, patient and understanding. They always went out their way to help me. Nothing was ever an issue or inconvenience for them. They even accommodated around my family commitments and would contact me at convenient times for me!
I can now finally breathe and say the court battle is over and that’s all thanks to them! I cannot recommend them enough. Massive credit in particular to Beverley, Sophia, Hakima and Caitlin.
Wonderful team and firm.
I will be sure to happily use them again.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me and my family finally be free.

I was introduced to your firm by a local person who had used your services for 3 children over the years.
I couldn't be happier, Celine has been amazing and I am very happy with the service, communication, and educational plan for my daughter. Very impressive.
My daughter has gone from no education and self-harm to the education and placement she needed after her assessments and attends education every day.
I will always be thankful and recommend your services.

I recently used Watkins for 2 conveyancing transactions, Morgan was great, explained everything, always replied promptly to our emails and kept us informed. Morgan worked hard to complete our first transaction quickly as we had a specific date. The conveyancing app was great for us to upload the info required. Both transactions were completed with ease.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Daisy Barrows for family law case, and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of service provided. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, she demonstrated exceptional expertise and commitment to ensuring my needs were met.
The communication throughout the process was clear and timely, and I always felt well-informed and confident in the advice I received. The professionalism and dedication to my case were evident, and I felt genuinely supported every step of the way.
I highly recommend Watkins solicitors team for anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation. Their thorough knowledge, attention to detail, and client-focused approach set them apart in a crowded field.
Thank you for your outstanding service!

Sophie Sims. Is phenomenal, kind and incredibly professional. She guided me through the most horrible emotionally draining process with such kindness. She was so efficient and explained everything to me. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always there for me whenever advice was needed. We can't thank you enough.

Celine has been fantastic throughout the entire process of securing our son an EHCP.
She has an in depth knowledge of the process and workings of the local authority and without her help we would have been lost. Thanks again for all of your help Celine!

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.
