Recommended for Divorce

During my divorce I have been expertly guided and supported by Laura Mounsey and her wonderful team at Harrogate Family Law. There have been many times I felt overwhelmed by the situation. Each time Laura's calm presence has guided me to think about things carefully, whenever I was about to make a decision I would have later regretted. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura, and the HFL team while I have navigated a very difficult personal time. Having this team with me has made the divorce process much calmer and certainly fairer than it would otherwise have been without her on my side.

Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend Laura Mounsey at Harrogate Family Law. Her expertise and knowledge of family law was outstanding and I always felt that I was listened to.

Laura’s communication process was professional and thorough throughout. The advice that I received was always honest, fair and accurate. Laura was sensitive, kind and caring in her approach and was a consummate professional at all times.

I also received excellent professional service from the whole team at Harrogate Family Law.

I would Laura and her team five stars in all areas.

Child Care Arrangement

Contacted about Child Arrangement matters.

Paid 390 for an initial 1 hour meeting. Then paid 1500 to be held on account for future works. This was burnt though in less than a week.

A letter, a few phone calls and couple of emails.

I managed to get a tentative agreement with other party my myself. This should have made things less complex and simpler hence reducing costs. Still got charged by highest fee earner. This was not delegated to a junior colleague as outlined in terms.

Utter profiteering.

The moment this was challenged there interest in my case immediately stopped and fell away. My matter was not resolved.

It's cost me over 2000 and I have achieved nothing with this firm.

I raised the matter as a complaint but the Director dealing could not even give me the common coutersey to discuss.

Am putting one star because I could not put zero.

Poor experience.
Would not recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

HFL - specifically Laura, Becky and Freddy - have successfully supported me through the most unpleasant, surreal and difficult proceedings against my wife.
Their combined efforts, together with the impeccable choice of counsel, are the very reason I am able to re-build a new life with my children.
Laura was recommended to me through a close mutual friend and from the outset, provided sincere and informed guidance throughout.
Their personal approach is incredibly supportive and empowering and refreshing from the larger, corporate outfits.

Thank you

I approached hfl after a nationwide search to find a lawyer who actually understood an very complex situation. From the start, Laura mounsey is friendly, empathetic, clearly very knowledgeable and probably most importantly not afraid to say stuff like
"If i was your friend id want you to do x, but im not, im.your solicitor, and you need to do y.

Not the cheapest but they never pretend that they are.

Thoroughly recommend( in fact i already have recommended a friend ages ago)

Cant understand how someone could take issue with lauras beautiful dog.( in another review...)

Excellent, friendly and professional service

I find it difficult if not impossible to reconcile previous reviews with my own experience. Carol Jessop has been my solicitor for a number of years throughout a protracted and difficult divorce, not only with HFL, but with her previous practice in York. Such was my level of satisfaction with her professionalism and ability that when she left York to practice with HFL, I asked her to continue to act on my behalf.
Throughout, Carol has acted with complete integrity, honesty and ability. She has offered much sound advice, and steered me through the difficult waters of divorce; she is the consummate professional and I'm grateful that she has been on my side with her small team throughout.
I have nothing but praise for Harrogate Family Law, and would recommend them unreservedly.

Horrendous Experience

Horrific fees ,full payment was taken in advance before the terms and conditions of business were made clear and which were never agreed on.
Bad advice and poor factually incorrect correspondence sent on my behalf resulting in the process being drawn out unnecessarily.
Unprofessional, absolutely no customer service and would not accept any responsibility.
Avoid at all cost.
