Child Residence Order


Joel Potts represented me on two occasions, he was considerate, proactive and demonstrated a high standard of customer care that exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your support, patience and compassion over eighteen months whilst ensuring I was aligned with the legal process. Joel's advice was clear and concise, ensuring I was prepared for the most likely outcome. I appreciate how generous you were with your time including the after care provided. In my opinion Joel demonstrated resilience and his professionalism was exceptional.

STAY AWAY

I wouldn’t know where to start with the quality of the service I was shut down every time and told if I did not agree with what they said I will not see my son. They did not fight at any point to get my son back into my care, one sided which was father’s side.
KEEP AWAY if it involves your child as the outcome will be devastating and heartbreaking - my solicitor was Lisa Hewitt she had no care or compassion for my case

Financial settlement post divorce.

I engaged the services of Joel Potts to give me some advice in order to sort a financial settlement after my divorce. Joel spent the time to understand my case which wasn't completely straightforward and ensured I was comfortable at every stage of proceedings. He completely worked with my interests as a priority and obtained an outcome far better than I could have ever had wished for. I much appreciate your hard work Joel and your committment in persuing my case.

Professional and Caring

I have had Joel Potts as my solicitor. I was very happy with his work and felt very comfortable at any time. He was very professional, but at every point I had the feeling that my wellfare and my situation was taken serious. He was caring and sypathetic, which through a very difficult time made things a lot better. I had the feeling to be in good hands at any time.
