Child Arrangements Following Divorce
Andy
Collected on:
Sadie Glover
I contracted with Sadie over a period of 6 or 7 years through 2 firms, in what became a series of very complicated Child Arrangement Hearings in the Family Court. Sadie was always empathetic and supportive, but also has a strong sense of what is realistic based upon the facts and worked with me to devise a strategy based upon reality. Sadie always worked with me in very demanding circumstances to keep costs at a minimum and her advice, access to quality Barristers and Junior solicitors combined with her legal expertise and management led to the right result despite significant hurdles. I could not recommend Sadie more highly on a professional level nor speak more highly of her integrity, honesty and decency.
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 30 July, 2024:
Dear Andy, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear that Sadie's empathy, support, and strategic approach made a significant difference in your complicated Child Arrangement Hearings. Your kind words about her professionalism, integrity, and dedication are greatly appreciated. Best regards, Machins Solicitors LLP

Kind, knowledgeable and assertive - Sadie is excellent!
Sadie is excellent. The depth of her experience and knowledge was clear from our first meeting, where she instilled a sense of confidence and trust that I’ve felt consistently since. Sadie is kind, calm, assured and assertive, and the time she took to understand my individual circumstances was invaluable. There was one matter in particular, where Sadie’s sharp foresight and proactive approach brought a difficult matter to swift conclusion, and saved me from a lengthy, worrying and very expensive alternative. I’ll be forever grateful for her help.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sadie most highly.
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 29 July, 2024:
Dear Jenny, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Sadie’s expertise, foresight, and personalized approach made such a positive difference in your case. Your gratitude and high recommendation mean a great deal to us.

Sadie took control of a situation that was completely unsustainable for me and my children, it was very complex and involved domestic financial and emotional control. She was very responsive, took it through to final hearing and we won. She worked well with a barrister of her recommendation. This has enabled me to now rebuild my life as any mother should be able to and be free of someone elses control. This result is life changing for us a family in a positive way. I could not of done this without her help. Although the legal process is expensive, there was no other way to solve this awful situation. Many thanks

Made things much easier
This review is for a different branch.
Rosie was an absolute star the entire way through our house purchase, nothing was too much to ask and she was always on hand to answer any questions we had. Rosie also ensured things were as stress free for us as possible by keeping us posted on where everything was up to and making sure all documents were sent as quickly as possible.
We managed to complete quite quickly mainly because of Rosie’s determination.
A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 17 September, 2024:
Hi Grace. Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that Rosie provided such exceptional service during your house purchase.

Just completed on my first home and used Rosie. She was great from start to finish and made sure everything was clear and laid out for me and made a daunting time easy. Got the sale completed in half the time I was expecting too and couldn’t recommend her and the team enough.

Rosie, our solicitor was extremely efficient, friendly and helpful with our house buying process. As first time buyers, so explained the whole process clearly to us and guided us each step of the way.
I cannot recommend Machins solicitors more. They are a friendly, and very affordable company to use.
Many thanks!
