Divorce Process.

This review is for a different branch.

Suzanne was absolutely brilliant in helping me through the divorce process. I did not have any idea of the process and was very nervous about the whole thing. She explained to me in fine detail what was involved and didn't build up any unnecessary expectations that I may.
I would certainly use Suzanne in the the future if ever I needed her.

Highly recommend

This review is for a different branch.

I am so thankful I got Catriona Smedley as my lawyer! She is absolutely incredible, I felt like I was constantly bugging her but she was always happy to help with anything and put her whole effort into my case. Genuinely could not have asked for a better solicitor and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs it.

Amy and Dan were extremely knowledgeable and supportive!

This review is for a different branch.

Dont spend time paying huge Hourly rates like I did to other solicitors, I switched to the FLG and the level of expertise was far higher and the level of service was also much better.

Amy did a great Job readying my Case, and was extremely knowledgeable. She would pick up the phone and call with any questions and comes across as really supportive, always felt she wanted to help all her clients as much as she possibly can.

Dan represented me in court and again is very experienced and knowledgeable. Great having someone who can see things from a dad/male perspective, having only dealt with female solicitors previously. He present very well in court,

Fantastic help in a tricky situation

This review is for a different branch.

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.

The lawyers you won’t regret working with

This review is for a different branch.

I have been in family courts for 1.5 years and had an extremely negative experience in the past with my LA solicitors. I nearly gave up, got so anxious and stressed and thought I would never be able to find a good LA solicitor. I was so lucky to find Dan and his team. Can’t express how grateful I am for their dedication. Summer is very knowledgeable, caring and supportive. She took her time to listen, knew my case in very small details, replied on all of my enquiries very quick. All statements were prepared on time and very well. It was a very positive experience and outcome! I can’t thank them enough for such amazing job. I felt so supported both- legally and emotionally. Don’t want to say I would like to come back, but definitely feel like I would not be so scared to go back to courts if I have to with such amazing team.

Child access case

This review is for a different branch.

I originally made contact with Lucy by way of Advice Now, an independent, not for profit website run by the charity, Law for Life.

During our first meeting I provided her with details of my child access problem. Lucy listened patiently to my concerns, giving me time to explain the particulars of my issue. She asked me various questions, explained how the firm’s fees were structured and clearly described what the next steps would be.

Over the course of the next 18 months Lucy worked with me at my own pace, liaising with my ex partner’s solicitor as well as attending court with me on 2 separate occasions. While I found the court appearances stressful, Lucy’s supportive and measured approach during both of these gave me confidence and enabled me to remain calm under pressure.

I would not hesitate to recommend Lucy’s legal services. I found her to be professional, empathetic and good value for money.

(Translated by Google) The worst lawyers I have ever dealt with in the last 20 years. They promised to help, promised to take action and then completely ignored the matter. I waited 3 months to hear from them and it turned out that I was completely ignored despite promises and assurances. I lost 3 months and now I have to look for a law firm again. I absolutely do not recommend!

(Original)
Najgorsi prawnicy z jakimi miałem do czynienia w ciągu ostatnich 20 lat. Obiecali pomóc, obiecali że podejmą się działania po czym kompletnie zignorowali sprawę. Czekałem 3 miesiące na wiadomość od nich i okazało się że zostałem zupełnie zignorowany mimo obietnic i zapewnień. Straciłem 3 miesiące i teraz na nowo muszę szukać kancelarii prawnej. Absolutnie nie polecam!

I have found this law group to be nothing but supportive, professional and caring. My lawyer Lucy Tissington and paralegal secretary, Georgina Locket . Have been key in helping me through this very hard and uncomfortable court case in so many ways. In fact they have felt like extended family members. Words cannot say how grateful I am to them both.

Excellent and very thankful for the brief information we received over a pending messy child access case. Friendly and informative too, then followed up with everything discussed in writing too which was ideal as at times it can be quite overwhelming when trying to discuss such delicate things quickly then remembering everything said, and what should be done next etc. Certainly put us on the right road with our case. We would highly recommend for any family law issues you need help with.
