Expert Advice & Amazing Service

Having little knowledge legally about what to do in the event my partner moved into to my property I reached out to various solicitors looking for advice.
Hawkins Family Law were by far the best on providing me clarity on what I needed and how to put a cohabitation agreement in place.
From speaking to Michelle at the start to the handing of my agreement by Ashleigh nothing was too much in terms of my questioning and Ashleigh kept me informed every step of the way. The ease of putting this in place, the quality of work delivered by Ashleigh and the value of service was excellent.
I would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again.

A representative from Hawkins Family Law Ltd responded to this review on 29 July, 2024:

Thanks for leaving your review Soufia. It's great to hear your feedback on the quality of service we provided and that you would recommend Hawkins Family Law. We will pass on your comments to both Michelle and Ashleigh. Thanks again

Highly recommend

This review is for a different branch.

Getting divorced is awful but Hawkins Family Law really eased the pain. They were “on it” when I didn’t have the head space to be myself. They were patient and kind and a brilliant result under the circumstances. I was recommended by a friend and I have also recommended a friend and we all feel the same. Thank you

Seeking Arrears

This review is for a different branch.

I cannot recommend Hawkins Family Law Ltd enough for their part in the successful outcome of my court case. I was at the end of despair with a previous legal firm and, after a brief time as a litigant in person, I contacted Hawkins. My initial email was to Jo Hawkins who, unlike many other firms I contacted, replied promptly and referred me to Holly Warren. Holly was excellent in the way that she listened and handled my case. I went from being terrified to receive emails from a previous firm which were patronising and offered incorrect advice, to finally achieving justice. The advice would be do not stick with a firm that is mishandling your case, leave. Hawkins Family Law is excellent.

A representative from Hawkins Family Law Ltd responded to this review on 15 April, 2024:

Thanks for your review. We're pleased we could be of service and your experience was so good. We will pass on your feedback to Jo and Holly

Defending Parental Allegations

This review is for a different branch.

The firm was very understanding of and adept in dealing with the management of this defence. Preparation of documents was thorough and appropriate and captured the reality of events very well. Counsel appointed by the firm to conduct the hearing on my behalf was also excellent in delivery and agile in adapting her approach in the moment. The result was as all that might be hoped for and ensured the right outcome.

Loraine was amazing throughout my divorce and proceedings. She handled my case with empathy and professionalism. After a bad experience with a previous solicitor at another firm, it was great to have a solicitor who I trusted and knew had my best interests at heart. I honestly can’t thank her enough.
Every solicitor who dealt with my case were highly professional! Highly recommend Hawkins Family Law.

Client of Joanna Kwadrans

This review is for a different branch.

Joanna was absolutely amazing from start to finish and would use her again in a heart beat.
Joanna kept me up to date with every thing and was a massive support to my physically and emotionally for the 6 hours we were in court together. I couldn't have done it without her and will forever be grateful to her.

It seems to me it was a big mistake going with them, 10 months marriage more than 12 months to get divorced, they seem to only care about the money nothing else, my ex has taken me for the biggest mug on the planet, it now looks like I am also going to prison for said stalking, which is untrue, the police side with the woman even though I have so much evidence she and friends keep trying to goad me into kicking off obviously I haven’t, handing back my house to this week god knows where and when this will end or wher in gods name I will end up Awful experience
