Prenuptial agreement

I wanted expert advice face to face locally. I was able to meet with James quickly and have a productive meeting at which the pros and cons and issues with prenuptial agreements were well covered. My own circumstances and aims were well understood and reflected back in the brief from the meeting. Subsequently a key point of issue (with the pre nup) was discussed and resolved to my satisfaction. I did think there’d be more lawyer to lawyer discussion on the draft but to be fair a ‘round table’ approach had been proposed and on reflection that may have saved time and cost. I was satisfied with the prenuptial agreement signed off.

Belderbos solicitors review

Apron first contacting Belderbos solicitors, I found them to be very upfront, honest and decent, with all aspects of communication.
They helped me navigate all aspects of what I requested, and gave sound clear advice on the best way to proceed.
I would imagine most people getting divorced for the first time, finds all legal requirements to be a daunting undertaking.
James and the team made it far less stressful and dealt with me very professionally and in a friendly manner at all times.
I would highly recommend them to family friends and colleagues.

Highly recommend!

Sophie has been a voice of calm and reason during the time that I have been her client. Her approach and her knowledge helped me to navigate my situation and the process of going to court with confidence. She has a wonderfully empathetic and reassuring presence whilst maintaining a professional and to the point service. The past year has been extremely difficult, but made all the easier having a solicitor like Sophie in my corner. I’d highly recommend her! All being well, I won’t need legal support in the future, but if I do, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sophie again.

Professional, clear advice from James

In a time that was highly stressful, confusing and emotional for me, James offered clear and concise advice with an approach that was direct and no fuss and his knowledge and guidance gave me confidence in my own decision making, the best route forward in my case and a better understanding of the processes involved. I had used a solicitor in the past who spent so much of our consultation time talking, but not saying much of value, so it was so refreshing to feel that every minute of my meetings or phone calls with James was money well spent on useful and valuable advice. I’d highly recommend James, he was a calm in the storm for me.

Defending a financial claim from an ex-partner

Separation is never easy, but can be so much more stressful when communication between those involved breaks down entirely. When this happened to me I turned to James Belderbos for help. At this time, my ex-partner had made a substantial financial claim against me and my business at county court. James guided me through this stressful time in a calm and professional manner, which helped ease my concerns. His team were helpful, polite and always reacted quickly when I needed their help and advice. I would thoroughly recommend Belderbos Solicitors to anyone seeking help with a family legal case.

I helped my sister through her divorce and together we decided on instructing James Belderbos to handle all the legalities of the seperation, divorce and settlement.
My sister was in a terrible state having been in an abusive marriage for over forty years. James was not only knowledgeable and practical but was also incredibly empathic.
He was kind and gentle with her, giving her plenty of reassurance and support. Any time my sister didn't understand he went through things again and used language that she could understand.
My sister is now a very different person to the one she was when we first walked into James's office. She is now much more assertive and independent and is free to enjoy life.
My sister felt very confident in James's caring and reassuring professionalism and we both would highly recommend the Belderbos practice to anyone in the same situation.
Keep up the excellent work guys. You're all a credit to the firm.

When I spoke to James Belderbos regarding separation, divorce and child matters, I found James to have a very open and refreshing approach. He strongly encouraged a non-combative approach through the use of mediation and collaboration, stating that courts were to be viewed as a last resort in resolving conflict. James was also clear on his message, advice and was punctual in meetings not looking to extend the time unnecessarily. Because of this, I was able to keep meeting times and costs to a minimum. I would strongly recommend James to anyone who needs a calm guide on the legal complexities of separation and divorce.
