It has been a pleasure to work with Demi. She made the entire process easy and safe for us. She was always available whenever we needed; shared our concerns during such a naturally stressful and anxious process; and smoothly led us to the completion. We would highly recommend her and WM Canterbury team to anyone!

I really appreciate David's commination skills and easy to understand explanations/directions and most importantly to me delivered what he said he would with no empty promises!

Daniel Bennett was my solicitor when I was taken to court over custody of my son. He was absolutely amazing. I could not recommend him more highly. He is a consummate professional and is extremely hard working but it always felt that he wasn’t ‘just doing a job’, he genuinely cared about the safety of my son. You could see the benefit of his years of experience as he thinks several steps ahead, I would have been at a disadvantage without him as he always considers ulterior motives and subterfuge that I couldn't anticipate. He considered the consequences of decisions with a view to our long term situation always trying to ensure that my son was the priority. He is a ferocious adversary, yet compassionate to his clients. If I ever have to go to court again I would want Daniel Bennett on my side, not working for the other side! I don’t think there is anyone else more dedicated, kind, child centric and fearless.

A representative from Whitehead Monckton Limited responded to this review on 14 November, 2024:

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Daniel. Our team always aims to provide the best service, and it's rewarding to know we hit the mark for you.
