Excellent service

This review is for a different branch.

For a long time I had an ongoing issue with my ex which was not getting resolved . Aimee took over my case and I can honestly say hands on heart from day one I felt I was in good hands. She was very prompt and kept me up to date with what was going on. Everything felt transparent which is what I needed after going through soo much .

She was very proactive . Would definitely use again .
I can’t thank Aimee enough for all her help and helping me get my life back again .

Aimee at Spain Williams helped me get my life back . She advised me loads and if I contacted her even though she works two days a week she would always reach out, at times even after work hours .

So thank you again Aimee.

Made a challenging time bearable

This review is for a different branch.

My experience with Jo as my divorce lawyer had been excellent. My divorce was amicable but the settlement was unusual, The advice I got was clear and explained my options, why I should do what was being recommended risks if I didn’t. The court system didn’t work well and Jo took the very unusual step of contacting the judge, who had verbally agreed the financial settlement but they system was not working as it should. This saved a lot of stress and money. I’m extremely grateful as it means I can now move on with a ratified agreement. The service provided throughput has been professional, friendly and the communication excellent catering for my neurodivergent needs.

Thank you, Lorraine, for your very positive review and I am so pleased that you were happy with the service you received from SpainWilliams. As you say, your case was challenging, not only due to the slightly unusual order sought, but also due to continuing issues with the Court system. I am really pleased that, despite issues with the Court system, we were able to communicate with the Judge who was happy to assist in moving this forward to a successful conclusion. I know that obtaining the order now means that you are able to move forward positively with your life and I wish you all the very best for the future.

Excellent divorce solicitor

This review is for a different branch.

I chose Alison as my divorce solicitor because she was friendly and helpful from the very first telephone contact. Throughout a painful process, she remained calm, level-headed, direct, fair and supportive. She understood the provocations and tricks of the opposite side, and her sensible and competent approach avoided further complications.
She was always respectful of both of us with always my best interests at heart. I was very grateful to have such a reliable, trustworthy person to deal with the divorce.

Aimee was so kind, thoughtful, considerate of all my concerns during a very emotional time in my life. I felt represented and Aimee was a thorough, organised and factually gave me all the information in a way I could understand. She is a credit to your firm and I will be recommending her should I ever get asked. She made a painful time a little easier to navigate through. Thank you Aimee.

I would highly recommend Spain- Williams and Francesca . They were my solicitors for 4 years through a very complex divorce and custody hearing. Francesca is highly knowledgeable, experienced and extremely pro active in working for the best possible long term outcomes. She is also warm, friendly and compassionate.

I simply would not be where I am now without their support. Having Francesca on board meant I approached all of my court appointments exceptionally well prepared for every eventuality. It was both a practical and emotional strength and I can’t thank her and them enough.

I used Spain Williams to help with a property ownership dispute. Alison Cook handled my case, and I’m glad she did. She had alot of knowledge on the subject, was very responsive to my concerns and questions, and was able to get me exactly the outcome that I wanted when we first discussed the matter. Would highly recommend Spain Williams, and Alison Cook.

I have been a client of Jo Spain for a number of years and in that time Jo has been a blessing to me. Her professionalism is outstanding but at the same time she provides a persona of kindness, calmness and an ability to present/guide and resolve with reality and perspective. Her generosity with these attributes and her time got me through some very difficult periods and I cannot thank her enough for that.
