Sharon and her team are fantastic

I have had the pleasure of being represented legally for a family matter by Sharon for almost two years now.

From day one Sharon and her team made me feel welcome, that my case was important to them and put me at ease

Initially I spoke to Harriet and she did most of the ground work in obtaining evidence and setting me up ready for the first hearing. She was fantastic and got everything moving smoothly.

After the first hearing, I was moved over to Sharon's paralegal Rhian, as it made sense to aligne me directly through Sharon's team. Rhian has been absolutely fantastic for the past 18 months or so. She's always made herself available to talk me through what's going on and any queries I may have. She's been extremely professional throughout, but with a more personal touch so that you don't necessarily feel overwhelmed with legal jargon, it really helps to put you at ease.

Sharon's been brilliant and involved in my case throughout, knowledgeable goes without saying and with the utmost profession and you can see when she's in court that she is very well respected within the industry. Again, she has that more personal tone that keeps you at ease

Even the finer details are top notch too. For example the lady on reception is always polite and helpful when I've called or visited the office. I had the perception it would be like calling the less than helpful doctors desks but that couldn't be further from the case here, the lady is brilliant. Sorry I never got her name

With regards to the case, from day one I knew I'd selected the right firm. They guided me through everything, did everything for me, never left me hanging or confused and always gave me every confidence that the right outcome would be achieved

The result was my children got everything they asked me to do for them in a court order and that's fantastic. Thank you so much

Professional and Compassionate

I can absolutely recommend this company and Helen in particular as she advised us through a very difficult time in our lives. They were always quick to reply and well organised. Their work was well researched and delivered in a respectful and competent way. I can advise anyone who needs representing, especially someone who is vulnerable, to be confident that this company respesents fantastic values.

Friendly and approachable

I recently worked with Rachel as my solicitor and had a fantastic experience. She was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the whole process much less stressful. Rachel was always available to answer any questions I had, and her clear explanations made everything easy to understand. Her professionalism and warm demeanor stood out, and I felt well-supported throughout. I highly recommend Rachel’s services and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future!

Cannot fault Johnson Astill Solicitor firm's professionalism!

I consulted with a couple of staff before Lucy-Anne assisted my daughter and I with a false allegation that had been made against her. The ridiculous farce she'd been dragged into was dropped, however it was still an immensely stressful and anxiety provoking time. From start to finish, we received thorough and reassuring advice from staff, with a refreshingly clear understanding of neurodiversity and the communication difficulties that can also bring with it. Lucy-Anne and her colleagues already knew how to work in a way which adjusted to my daughter's needs and all concise advice was delivered with patience and in a manner which was respectful and informative.
I cannot recommend this firm enough. It is evident from the beginning of any conversation, they are highly trained, experienced and knowledgeable in their specialism, passionate about what they do, and keen to assist in any way they can, which is precisely what you need when navigating any areas of legal matters.

Thank you to all of you for offering the service you do, and with such professionalism and enthusiasm. I could never have enough positive words of praise for you all.

Family Law Support for Shelagh Moody

Monica has supported my Mum, for two years through a very difficult divorce and FDR. Monica has been our rock. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring and totally committed to getting the best possible outcome for her. Monica has replied to every email and phone calls so quickly and nothing has ever been too much trouble, we would have been lost without her. We will never forget her and thank you just doesn’t seem enough, but from the bottom of our hearts Monica, our family thanks you xx

False allegations

I was falsely accused of some serious offences where i needed and sort expert advise & legal representation via Johnson astills, who immediately reasured me that they could help and advised me on what to do and what not to do in the meantime and stayed in touch via WhatsApp the whole time regarding any issues and mitigation via the police on my behalf. Also I followed the advice given to me by Johnson astills to a T (even though I wanted to do things my way a little more but was advised not to) and in the end there way and advice proved correct and I was never even charged of any offence and bail coneditions went even better only lasting g 6 months rather than a possible 12... This is because I listened and took onboard the legal advice I was given (Money well spent) and just as Helen told me she expected to go it went exactly that way.. so I can't fault her expertise in this matter at all, she knows what she's talking about and worth every penny spent advise and mitigation wise. I can not praise this law firm enough, Instantly made me feel better about the situation I was caught up in, and equally blessed to have it unfold exactly the way hellen thought it would with it eventually being thrown out by the police.

I would highly recommend Johnson Astills Solicitors, particularly Ms Sharon Percival.
Sharon provided legal advice and representation, which was invaluable. She was very approachable and professional at all times and provided an excellent service. Her paralegal Rhian was also excellent.
I would like to thank them both.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided. Michelle Harding was extremely supportive, very knowledgeable and highly professional throughout. From the moment I met with her I found her to be personable, perceptive, fastidious in following up all my concerns and questions, and totally committed to gaining the best and fairest outcome for me as her client. I am so glad that I made that initial exploratory phone call to her office which put me in touch with her. I highly recommend her and her team.
