Do not use Curwens Solicitors re divorce. They are very expensive and are awful at getting the best outcome for their client.
I had an initial meeting with Claire Pilsworth and was informed that the fees were approx £3500 and the divorce average was 6 months. My fees totalled £12500.00 and took about 3 years. They are totally out of their league. At court I was represented by Amanda Thurston who was not my solicitor, Claire Pilsworth was my solicitor and she was totally out of her league. Amanda mentioned that she had only been given my file the day before, how professional is that, having someone represent you at the most important meeting that doesnt know you or your case. She bullied me into accepting the outcome after 7 hours yes 7 hours in court. I was at first being represented by a barrister but without any notice they changed their decision to Amanda, how is that doing the best for your client.
Everything I was promised by Claire didn't happen, also she gave some very bad advice, my property was damaged and I was told by Claire I did not need to report the damage to the police. Speaking to the police, they were astonished that a legal practice gave such bad advice and that lost me any chance of prosecuting the person responsible for the damage. That meant I had to find in addition to their ridiculous fees an addition £20,000 to put my home back in liveable condition.
If you want to get legal representation from a solicitor that is very professional and represents and has their clients best interest at heart and do not rip you off then DO NOT USE CURWENS SOLICITORS AS THEY ARE A RUBBISH LAW FIRM THAT ONLY LOOKS AT THE FEES THAT THEY EARNING AND NOT THE INTERESTS OF THEIR CLIENTS.
