Excellent team who have helped me achieve the best possible outcome i could ever hope for, in both Children's matters and Divorce. They were all professional, friendly and very approachable and kept me informed every step of the way with their excellent legal knowledge and communication. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who requires legal assistance.
I owe you my deepest gratitude Nicola Bennetts, Jane Pilcher and Kelvin Mugariri for keeping us safe and helping me to keep our home.Thank you all 🙏

Kelvin listened and made excellent suggestions to make the divorce process easier. He explained everything in a way that I could understand and this helped greatly. I would recommend Kelvin to anyone about to go through a divorce.

Alia Allen dealt with the Grant of Probate on my late mum's estate in a sympathetic and informative manner. She explained the process to me in easy to understand language making the process so much easier at a really difficult time.

Was recommended this company by our estate agents and have no regrets. Owen Baker and his team communicated well. My property previously had a planning enforcement notice on it that made a lot of hurdles when selling, but the team managed to get all the answers and complete the sale. Would Highly recommend. Thanks for your support Owen
