Couldn't rate highly enough!
Lauren' support, advice and representation has been invaluable in helping me in a family issue. Lauren was easy to build a rapport with, which had a big impact upon my overall experience during a difficult situation, and her professional recommendations were pivotal in resolution of my case. Lauren worked tirelessly and around the clock on times. If I need any further assistance in the future Lauren will be my first choice without a doubt!

I required assistance in access to my children and was provided Lauren's details by friend of mine. From the outset I found Lauren professional, knowledgeable & easy to contact (this can not be said for many solicitors). Lauren kept me well informed at each stage of the process and I have nothing but good things to say about the service she provided. I would recommend to all looking for legal representation for their family law requirements.

From the first speaking to Debbie about my situation i immediately felt I was making the right decision as I was in two minds about hiring a solicitor, I’m glad that I did!
Firstly Debbie asked about my situation and what I wanted going forward, asking key points and thoroughly understanding my situation. Debbie was open and honest about what could happen and the possibilities when I asked as I was very unsure and lacked knowledge. Debbie guided me through every step of my case, told me what the best things I could do were and aided me with anything I was unsure about. Debbie even took the time to check in to see if anything had changed or if there was anything I was unsure about. Debbie represented me in court and words do not do any justice!
I was amazed by Debbie’s extensive knowledge, professionalism and ability within her field. Without Debbie I know I would not have had the outcome that I wanted. I would highly recommended Debbie as I know she goes above and beyond when it comes to clients and her professionalism is of the highest degree. Overall a fantastic solicitor as well as the rest of the team that I had the pleasure of working with!
On behalf of myself and my family,
Thank you!

Fantastic Service
Kiani dealt with my divorce which was not straightforward to say the least. At what was the most difficult time of my life Kiani was on hand to guide me through every step of the divorce proceedings and financial settlement. I could not have wished for a better individual and firm to have looked after me from start to finish and I would highly recommend both Kiani and Hutchinson Thomas to anyone looking for a professional, quality service.

I was nervous at first with letting someone do all the legwork as I try not to rely on anyone but Lauren has proven me wrong. She proved to be friendly and very knowledgeable in the subject form day 1. Lauren got me the result in a good timely manner while keeping the piece and fairness across both parties.
Thank you Lauren for all the time and effort given to me.

Warning this is going to be a long story.
Wednesday before mid-day I went to the nearby solicitor’s office in Port Talbot hoping they can notarise my sponsor letter for my Tourist Schengen Visa for Spain. Unfortunately, they couldn’t. So, they referred me to call their affiliates but same thing they won’t be able to help.
Then I started calling all firms in Neath and explained what I need and what it was for.
I called Hutchinson Thomas and spoke to Rachel. That time she already told me their schedule was booked and they can only accommodate me the coming week which not possible on my end, though she still asked me to send her the letter and the requirement so she can check. But because I need to secure my sponsor letter to be notaries a day before my visa schedule I had to keep calling different firms/office hoping to find someone who can accommodate us even for a short notice.
I was able to find and they made an appointment the next day which is Thursday at 3pm in Neath.
Thursday morning, I received a call again from Rachel to check if I already sent the documents because she did not receive an email from me. I explained to her I found a notary whom I thought can help me because I couldn’t afford to reschedule my visa appointment. Rachel was very nice and she even wished me good luck.
Unfortunately, the moment when the solicitor said he couldn’t helped me. I stepped out in his office immediately and let my partner speak to him. I called the Hutchinson Thomas’ office and hoping to reach out to Rachel again.
I was so stressed and worried how on Earth I can find a solicitor who can accommodate me at past 3pm, I was really hopeless, and partner started nagging at me.
Then I got a call back from Rachel, I explained what happened and I started begging if she can accommodate us. She said she will try but she can’t promise. So, my partner and I went to Hutchinson Thomas’ office, the moment I stepped in their office I felt good not because their office was professionally laid out but the office environment was different. Everyone’s greeted us with smile. They were all professional. I really felt something’s good going to happen. And it did!!!
Ms. Rhian Williams did notaries my sponsor letter and made sure also I have all the requirements needed for my Tourist Schengen Visa for Spain. She was professionally friendly.
Oh btw, just to give you feedback, Friday, I went to BLS in Manchester and they collected all my requirements including the notarised letter. Hopefully, my visa will get approved. (Fingers crossed)
A big shout out to Rachel! You are a heaven sent. Thank you for your patience, understanding and you are extremely helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
