Sian Churchill

I first met Sian in 2019 when care proceedings were initiated and from our very first phone call I could tell that this wasn't just a job to her. Sian has fought for me legally but also personally. She is passionate and dedicated to helping people get the best possible outcomes that she can. Sian was honest caring and nothing but kind to me and really made an effort to understand how to communicate with me and adapted meetings in order to make sure I fully understood what was required of me and also understand all the legal terms. I would highly recommend Sian to anyone who found themselves needing support in the family courts. Everyone at crane and Staples were so helpful to me and kind. They always returned calls or responded to emails quickly and kept a professional high standard at all times.

Superb Service

I found Natasha to be extremely patient and understanding. She listens and takes note no matter how small the query. Upon receipt of correspondence from the other side I was advised whether it was well into an evening or other out of office times. Over the past three years she has advised and guided me to a outcome that could have been much worse than it was. I am extremely grateful to Natasha for her all her help, knowledge and expertise.

Excellent, Outstanding, Top Notch Care!

Sian Churchill is the Best Family Law Solicitor I have ever had across two Counties! I've had 3 in total and I was third time VERY lucky indeed to have Sian representing me; she was highly recommended by a top London Barrister for her excellent, proactive and hands on support of services.

All of Sian's team are friendly, kind and on the ball; and they always give excellent advice. Sian has worked extremely my case, and more importantly she sincerely cares about the outcome. I am so grateful that I have her fighting my corner in Family Law Court. Sian has helped me so much on my personal statement for Court concerning fighting against my son's adoption order; she is concise, conscienctious and vigilant to every precise detail necessary in representing a parent in the best of lights. I am so grateful for her watchful and professional eye.

I would recommend Crane & Staple's Sian Churchill forever more for her immense support and help with the sensitivity of my case concerning opposing my child's adoption order. I'm Crane & Staple's number one fan; and Sian's the most for helping me. Thank you Sian for caring about me and my child; that's something the other Solicitors just didn't do. I'm so thankful to have you and your team behind me.

Adrian took the time to listen to my complex issue around probate and provided reassurance and sound advice.

He discussed what steps I should take now and was honest with me about saving solicitor costs at this early stage.

Adrian listened to the complex situation and reassured me that the steps I had already taken were the right ones. He provided a few pointers on other avenues to explore to get more information.

It was a honest conversation and he advised that it was too early to begin litigation, considering my best interests around expenditure.

I feel confident that I can approach Adrian and the firm in the near future to provide legal assistance as and when required.

Contentious Probate Advice

I needed advice on a contentious probate matter and Adrian took the time to listen to me and then offer his valuable advice without charge.

I felt reassured after I raised some concerns around potential foul play. He confirmed that the action I had taken so far was the right thing to do and gave a few pointers on other areas to explore.

A very honest conversation and reassured that it was too early to begin litigation, avoiding unnecessary costs.

I was left feeling like I could come back to Adrian and the firm if I need their assistance in the near future.

Couldn’t recommend Bonnie Twiggs more highly. She was invaluable in my house purchase and without her tenacity we would still be waiting to exchange. Her and her team are excellent. I have also used her colleagues for other documentation.
