Family law child arrangement order

I highly recommend this firm—they were outstanding from start to finish. Sam Lynch initially guided me through the process brilliantly, setting a strong foundation for my case. Tim Bowles then took over for all my hearings, and he did an amazing job representing me, even under challenging circumstances. His professionalism and expertise were clear in every step.

I’d like to extend a special thank you to Kirsty Hunter, who has been incredibly supportive throughout this stressful period. Kirsty consistently went above and beyond, offering genuine understanding and never judging, even during my most difficult moments. She made this experience a little less overwhelming with her dedication and empathy.

The entire team was exceptional, and I couldn’t have asked for better support during such a critical time. Thank you, Sam, Tim, and Kirsty—you were outstanding

Outstanding service

Nasheela Ali - I am writing to appreciate all of your assistance and patience with me over this whole process! Thank you so much for all your support and professionalism. Finalising the divorce has really given me a bit of peace and happiness because I don’t have to worry about being married to my ex husband anymore.

Samantha Lynch was so kind

Samantha Lynch was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable during our meeting she gave better advice and more reassurance than my other solicitors had given during my entire court case. Highly recommended and I will contact her again if I need representation in the future.

I cannot recommend Leonie enough

I was looking for a local solicitor to help write my will. I looked at the local Solicitors in Grays, Essex and liked the look of Hattenss, they had good reviews and within walking distance from where I live. I was a bit sceptical because writing a will is not the nicest task in the world. I need not have worried. I was greeted by Leonie Adams on appointment day, and she made me feel at ease immediately. Leonie was excellent, she was helpful, knowledgeable, and guided me through the process with ease and no stress. I cannot recommend Leonie enough; I was always kept up to date with the process and any changes that I had asked for on the draft will were done immediately.

Hattens Solicitors was recommended to me from Changing Pathways and from first contact I had total confidence in Sam Lynch and Claire Crooks. They were so kind and supported me through every step of the difficult and painful process of court cases and divorce following domestic abuse.
I really valued their wisdom, experience and professionalism and I am so grateful for their guidance and input. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone in similar circumstances.

Excellent Legal Support

I want to express my deep appreciation for the excellent legal support provided by Hattens and Ms. Nasheela Ali. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding throughout my case.

Nasheela and the whole family team at Hattens showed unwavering support during the court proceedings. Their guidance and hard work were invaluable, focusing on the best interests and safety of children and families.

The legal process was handled with expertise and finesse. The follow-up is seamless, and the team's readiness to address any issues provided constant reassurance.

A big thank you to Hattens for their exceptional service and dedication to resolving my case. Highly recommended!

The team at Hattens Solicitors are incredibly professional lawyers. I was particularly impressed by the detailed level of support and advice I received from Sam Lynch and would certainly recommend her to anyone needing her services. She was friendly, approachable and was very quick to respond to any queries I had. If you are in need of expert legal advice, you can not go wrong with Hattens.
