Incredibly helpful in a difficult situation

Georgina has helped me navigate a complicated situation regarding my ex-husband and our children. She was fair and thorough, giving me guidance on the next step. She was particularly helpful when I was taken to court unexpectedly, resulting in a Child arrangement order in my favour. I am grateful for her professional guidance, expertise, and compassionate approach.

Divorce/Financial settlement

Joanne provided excellent practical advice and was very supportive throughout the whole process. She actively encouraged us to try and come to a solution between ourselves and thus save the costs of going to court and proved herself to be a very able negotiator. Highly recommended!

Utterly Outstanding From Start to Finish

I have had various difficulties with my sons mother over the years and this time I decided it was best to employ the services of a solicitor to help with the Court Application.

I chose Just Family Law as it came across quickly they genuinely cared about my son.

The barristers they instructed were both great and reasonably priced to boot.

I hope I don’t need to use a family law solicitors again, but if I did Georgina would be the first person I’d call.

Thank you.

Extremely helpful & professional

Georgina Suman of Just Family Law provided legal advice to me in a dispute over custody arrangements for my children. I had temporarily lost access and Georgina helped me to persuade my ex partner to agree to mediation, which led to a mutually agreed settlement without having to go through the courts. Georgina's experience and reassurance was invaluable to me.

Out of court settlement reached

I'd like to thank Georgina for her diligence, professionalism and support over the last year+ where she has assisted me in getting to an out of court settlement. I would thoroughly recommend Just Family Law and Georgina to anyone needing support, advice and representation.

Many thanks again Georgina and I sincerely hope our paths don't cross again :)

You’re in good hands

I was recommended Just Family Law by a mediator and I have been very happy with the service they have provided. The divorce was always going to be an expensive, stressful and lengthy process but Emma and Georgina made me feel so much better about everything, explained everything in a clear way and were always there to calm me down when I panicked about things! I was also able to have a payment schedule that I could afford which really helped. I would recommend Just Family Law without hesitation for their highly professional and personal service. Thank you!

Amazing help and support

Jo was superb in every sense, both on a professional and personal level, I cannot recommend her strongly enough. She made a difficult and traumatic time much smoother and much more straightforward using simple and understandable language. Quite simply she is the best you could ever hope for.

TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL

DO NOT USE JOANNE HOUSTON OF JUST FAMILY LAW. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL, V SLOW AND DOESNT GIVE COPIES TO CLIENT OF IMPORTANT LETTERS WHICH SHOULD BE APPROVED BEFORE SENDING OUT I.E. DIVORCE SETTLEMENT OFFERS. STOPPED USING HER, 4 MTHS LATER HER ACCOUNTANT, SARAH LOWE CREDIT MANAGEMENT SENT ME LETTER SIMPLY REQUESTING AN AMOUNT OF MONEY. OF COURSE I QUESTIONED WHAT THIS WAS FOR, 12 MTHS LATER I RECEIVED DETAILS OF WHAT THE CHARGES WERE FOR AND GIVEN 7 DAYS TO PAY! NEVER RECEIVED INVOICE AT ANY TIME FOR THIS, ALL INVOICES I DID RECEIVED WERE PAID PROMPTLY. DOESN'T DESERVE ANY STARS BUT HAD TO GIVE ONE TO PLACE REVIEW.
