After my wife and I separated, I found myself in an anxiey-filled world with what felt like nobody on my side. Colette was recommended to me and she has been amazing! Thank you again, Colette! She is a highly knowledgeable solictor who helped me to navigate the scary and complex process of divorce. She is patient, calm and logical. My ex wife tried to make the divorce process as difficult as possible, with Colette's help the process moved along in any case. I highly recommend her professional service.

Colette Blackburn truly deserves all the praise for the exceptional job she did in representing me during my divorce. From the very beginning, she took care of me and guided me through the long and arduous process, especially due to my ex-husband's uncooperative attitude. She kept me informed every step of the way and knew exactly when to push back against the law firm representing my ex-husband. Throughout the three-year journey, I felt completely supported and confident in Colette's abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation. Colette even selected an outstanding barrister for me, achieving a result that I had previously thought was impossible. Thank you, Colette, for your dedication and hard work. You have truly outshined JMW solicitors in this matter.

Colette is exactly who you need. She listened and responded to my life, understanding what I needed as an individual and mother, tailoring her advice to suit my circumstances whilst offering me all reasonable alternatives. She put me back in control of my life at a time when the ground was shaking beneath me. She explained, calmly and carefully, legal terms that I was unfamiliar with and reminded me of the rights I was entitled to every time I felt like giving up. She was able to shine a light on unacceptable behaviour affording me both human and legal perspectives. Colette gave me timely, pragmatic, professional, considered advice that helped me to avoid the courts, avoid the drama, and concentrate on what was important. My independence and my children. I have so much to thank her for!
A representative from Spence Family Law Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 20 September, 2023:
Thank you for your feedback. We are truly touched by your kind words. Colette is dedicated to providing the best support possible, and we are delighted to hear that she made such a positive impact during a challenging time. Best Wishes, Spence Family Law.

I want to share my experience with Spence Law, particularly for other men who may find themselves navigating a difficult divorce or separation.
My ex-partner was represented by Spence Law during our family court proceedings, where fabricated accusations of domestic abuse and financial control were made against me. Despite evidence proving the exact opposite, these allegations were taken at face value, causing immense emotional and financial strain.
Spence Law facilitated these claims without requiring evidence, perpetuating false narratives that were later disproven in court. I urge other men to stay strong if they face similar situations, as truth and fairness can prevail despite the challenges.
While I understand that solicitors represent their clients’ interests, I would encourage Spence Law to consider the broader impact of enabling baseless allegations and the harm caused to innocent parties.

Adele and all the team at Spence Family Law, Southport are Fab. I cannot fault her work and the whole experience from start to finish was stress free, and importantly, in a very acceptable time frame. Divorce can be stressful, but that was taken away from me by Adele.Highly recommended.Thank you so much Spence Family Law, Chris & Gemma

Going through a divorce is a stressful and challenging time, but Adele steered me through the complex legal process and I was happy with the outcome. Her staff were really friendly and helpful too, all of which makes a difference when facing the difficulties of a divorce. If you are looking for for supportive, efficient and experienced specialists then I would recommend Spence Family Law.
