Excellent service
I was locked up for my first violent charge that I actually was innocent from, Steve from yarwood Holmes was outstanding.
Extremely professional explaining every step and getting me a NFA, obviously I am extremely pleased with the result but having Steve by my side made it that little bit easier.
Would definitely recommend this firm to other people 100% thank you again Steve Davies.

Excellent child centred representation
Helen Holmes has represented me for over 4 years. She has been truly excellent and I don’t know how I would have got through this time without her. Helen is very child focused. Her advice was alway considered, clear and right. She is firm but fair, accessible and the person you want in your corner. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done.
I have also used this firm for other matters and also received excellent service.

Outstanding service
This was by far one of the hardest periods of my life, of which I hope to never experience again.
I found Mr Nixon after cancelling an appointment with another firm (I had an un easy feeling after a phone conversation with the other solicitor)
I'm so glad I cancelled that appointment.
I truly believe that in order to work with someone on something that is so personal there has to be a good match in personalities, trust and empathy.
Ben had all of this and more. He never once made me feel like I had to convince him of what I was saying. I felt listened to and most importantly, believed. Over the course of 7 months I worked with Ben, and am delighted to say we got the outcome we hoped to gain.
It was not easy to say the least but Ben communicated with me every step of the way, he even picked me up when I felt utterly broken, he recognised when I was struggling.
He understood how I processed things and could tell me what I was thinking before I opened my mouth.
A father himself, he knows how important our children are to us. He worked extremely my case and that was evident from the extensive reports he wrote.
There are not enough words in the world to express my thanks to Ben. I will be forever thankful to him.
My focus is now to create the happy memories for myself and my son. This wouldn't have been possible without Ben Nixon. Thank you.

The best person to guide me through my worst nightmare.
When I was initially advised to find a solicitor I was totally in the dark. I'd never needed one before. I had originally booked to meet with someone from another firm. But after getting an uneasy feeling I called back and cancelled the meeting. I then found Mr Nixon.
When you're about to go into a court room to discuss the most precious little person in your life you need to have faith in the professional representing you.
I 100% believe that Ben and I had a very good understanding of one another from the start. The more we talked the more he seemed to understand how I processed information and knew how I would react to certain questions being thrown my way.
I felt comfortable talking open and honestly to Ben. I never felt like I had anything to prove to him and he was probably the only person I didn't once become defensive with when discussing the situation.
He worked extremely hard to resolve my case and I will be forever thankful for fighting my corner.
He took the time to explain everything to me, advise the best way forward and helped me understand it from a legal point of view, which is a very hard thing to do with something so very personal with emotions running high.
When I struggled he helped me keep it together, when I got defensive he reeled me back in. He has the patience of a saint.
I hope I never ever need anyone like Mr Nixon ever again but if I did, he would be the first person I would call.

Iam so happy to have hired this firm
This review is for a different branch.
My initial position at the beginning of the legal process was poor but I got provided with sensible and easy advice which I followed 100 % and as a result I got the best possible outcome at the end of court . Both myself and my children are now living a new life that I didn’t feel was initially possible and I also got a response quickly from my solicitors , i am so pleased to have come across such a good and tenacious firm ! My result could not have been any better , please listen and follow your solicitors advice no matter how you feel they know what they are doing .

Exceptional Legal Representation – Highly Recommended
This review is for a different branch.
I cannot recommend this law firm highly enough. From the very beginning, I received outstanding service from Mr. Glenn Reardon and my barrister, Ms. Kelly. Their professionalism, dedication, and personal approach truly set them apart and made an enormous difference during a difficult time in my life.
Glenn provided unwavering support and expert guidance throughout the entire process, always ensuring I felt informed and reassured. His commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me was clear at every stage. Likewise, Ms. Kelly’s expertise and advocacy were second to none, and together they provided exceptional representation.
Thanks to their hard work, I have been given the opportunity to move forward with my life—something I never thought possible. Their dedication, expertise, and personal care made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful for their support.
If you are looking for legal representation that is professional, compassionate, and highly effective, I strongly encourage you to choose this firm. Glenn Reardon and Ms. Kelly went above and beyond for me, and I have no doubt they will do the same for anyone in need of expert legal assistance.

Couldnt ask for a better service.
This review is for a different branch.
Mr Davis assisted me with my legal issue and he kept me right all the way and couldnt have been more helpful. Was very happy with how he dealt with it and took the worry away.
If I had to, I would go straight to Mr Davis for legal assistance again. He came highly recommended.

I’ve dealt with this company my entire life. The thought of using another firm fills me with dread. I’ve recently had what I can only describe as the best service . Communication from David and Stephen was amazing from start to finish. The very best of the legal profession.

So helpful, the advice I received put my mind at rest that a perceived large complicated problem could and has been sorted easily, can't praise the staff enough.

I fully recommend Holmes Family Law. From taking my initial panicked call out of hours when I was dropped in a difficult situation out of the blue and all through the process thereafter, I was guided so professionally by Helen Holmes and her colleagues. I received a service of the highest quality with timely communication and with great expertise. Thank you so much.

Helen, I want to thank you and all your team for the support you have given me over the last few years, which have been the most difficult and turbulent times of my life. Not only have you handled my case with professionalism and extensive knowledge and experience, you also demonstrated compassion, kindness and understanding. I trust you implicitly and know undeniably I can count on you to represent me in the most challenging of circumstances. Thank you for being there for me and my children time and again.
