Attentive Professionals

Always very professional and attentive staff. It was lovely to meet Stuart in person as well. I would like to recognise Sophie and Milly as they were always so helpful on my case when a staff member was away or poorly and I had to reach out to someone.

Professional Dedication

Ruby Morris has shown complete professionalism throughout my case from start to finish. It is very clear that Ruby is dedicated to her work, showing great efficiency and humanity with my personal situation. I felt that Ruby really stood in my corner. I would like to say that I am very impressed with The Family Law Company as a whole and the vast amount of help that they can provide people. Every single member of staff that I have had correspondence with has been amazing.

Unwavering Support

I would like to say that Galina Labworth was absolutely outstanding during my case. This process was absolutely the lowest stage in my life, but Galina gave me the hope and confidence to fight each day for my family. Without that hope I do not think I would have had the energy to get through this ordeal. As my wife stated, this is clearly more than just a job for Galina and her team who were incredibly professional and helpful during this process, I always sensed that she had passion and drive to resolve my case in the best possible way for my family. I cannot thank her enough.

Exceptional Support

Since you took over my case, your communication (particularly the tone in your communication), proactivity and delivery have been nothing short of exceptional. I have nothing but praise for everything you’ve done and I honestly don’t know how to thank you and fully capture the sentiment of my appreciation in an email. I received your emails along with all supporting documentation. Pre-empting the requirement of an out of time application for the Conditional Order to be made Final was really appreciated and this was all done on my side as soon as possible. I applied for the Final Order on 24 January and became legally divorced on 1 February 2024. Without dwelling on the negative too much, before you were acting on my behalf, I had become totally disengaged with the whole process as the communication was so poor, I had no faith that closure to my marriage would ever happen. And 14 days after first hearing from you, I was able to apply for the Final Order – amazing. The weight that has lifted from my shoulders almost feels physical. Thank you so much.

Exceptional Support and Guidance

Norman Hartnell has been the most incredible advisor, advocate and support. His calm, clear and wise approach to me and my case made what was a very stressful process so much more manageable. Each of his legal assistants throughout the duration of my case were also fantastic. Tuesday, Ria and everyone else I dealt with were all incredible. Polite, helpful, timely, kind. I honestly can say that the service and support I received from the Family Law Company, from Norman, and from the executive assistants who worked with him was absolutely brilliant. It was one of the hardest times of my life, and your firm went over and above to help me through. The company is built on being kind, clear, calm, efficient and effective. This runs throughout every contact I have had with you. Norman did far more than supported me to achieve the right outcome for my children, he taught me how to manage the necessarily ongoing relationship with my ex husband in a way that keeps me and the children emotionally safe and balanced.

Galina Labworth: A Flawless Gem

I would like to specifically mention Galina Labworth. She is an absolute diamond. She made the entire 4 years 100% more bearable for us. She effortlessly explained every single step, she was there for us whenever we needed. She is so kind. Nothing felt like it was ever too much to ask. She answered every single question in a friendly yet professional manner. Nothing could have been improved. Galina is absolutely flawless.

I had an outstanding experience working with the Family Law Co. during my challenging court case. Grace Bradley has been tremendously knowledgeable and supportive all the way through. The level of expertise was high and the full involvement helped so much get clarity and positive progress. Grace has also been great at communication and supported my vocabulary as well as emotional needs. Thank you so much. Geoffroy

My girlfriend needed help with legal aid and this firm was absolutely useless. They stalled at every corner, failed to update when they said they would and asked for my personal information (even though we’ve only been together for a few month and don’t live together nor share finances). The reason I think it’s important to share this review is that she has now gone on to use another law firm and her experience with them has been exceptional. And none of my personal information was asked for.

So, for anyone thinking of using this firm, especially under difficult circumstances, be aware that this firm will only add to your stress.

What i witnessed her go through with this first was nothing short of horrific.

I had the pleasure of working with Lucy Theobald as my solicitor, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. From the very start, Lucy was incredibly supportive, guiding me through every step of the legal process with professionalism and expertise. She always made herself available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and provided clear, concise advice that made complex legal matters easy to understand.

Lucy’s attention to detail and commitment to her clients truly set her apart. She made me feel confident and assured that my case was in the best hands possible. Her proactive approach and thoroughness ensured that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently.

I am immensely grateful for Lucy's support and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable solicitor. Thank you, Lucy, for your outstanding service!
