Fay Jones dealt with my divorce. Her dealings were efficient and she was consistent in her contact and advise, ad I was very grateful for her for making a difficult process as smooth as possible and for achieving a fair split of assets which without her wouldnt have occurred.

Melanie Hamer was recommended to me by a number of different people and I am very grateful to them. At a point when I felt extremely vulnerable and uncertain of how my future would look/work, Melanie gave clear, reassuring advice and assistance.
Melanie made me feel much more comfortable about my situation, she explained all processes and potential outcomes, she gave me hope and restored my confidence -she was exactly what I needed.
My requirements did change during the process and for now my situation is on hold, however if I need to progress I would absolutely want Melanie to represent me. Thank you to Melanie and her team.

As you can imagine going to court to resolve a family dispute can be a very stressful time. I felt at ease with the professional service that Sam John provided. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. Sam was very approachable from the beginning and provided me with an honest and tenacious service. Sam's experience from other cases is invaluable and I strongly recommend Sam.

Fay helped me with what was probably a fairly straightforward divorce but when you’re in it, it feels intense! Fay was just so helpful with explaining where I stood legally on various matters.
She also really supported my decisions where I chose the “as friendly as possible” route, and was amazing at rephrasing my questions or concerns to take out any frustration or annoyance when communicating with the other party.

We had a difficult family situation and were recommended this firm. They are good to deal with and on your side which is I think the most important thing. I could not recommend them highly enough.

Beth is a first class divorce lawyer. She handled my case with admirable skill and professionalism. She offers shrewd and pragmatic advice with a clear focus on the best outcome. Always calm and sensible, she is also strong and steadfast when required. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I am so so grateful that Fay Jones has been my solicitor. I spoke to two other solicitors before Fay and choosing her. Fay is honest, is a great communicator and I felt supported and guided through the process. Fay helped me to cut through the emotions and see the situation with greater clarity. Fay is a clear thinker and knew when I needed time to think things through and when to encourage me to move forwards. Fay is proactive and I am so grateful she is because her actions and knowledge helped to bring the situation to a conclusion. Fay is an incredible solicitor and I wish her every success in her career. I feel very lucky to have had her as my solicitor.

I cannot recommend Sarah and her team highly enough, they are absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met Sarah, I knew that she was someone who was kind, clever, very experienced and that I was in good hands. She has always made me feel exceptionally well supported and I don't know how I would have got through this incredibly stressful time without her by my side. Thank you to the entire team, Janine who is always so helpful and Gareth who is highly knowledgeable and instantly makes you feel at ease. I feel incredibly well represented and very grateful to have been recommended this firm. I have since recommended Wendy Hopkins Law to a friend of mine who is also immensely pleased with their expertise and service, saying they ‘knocked spots off of their previous solicitor.’

Bethan has helped me through court proceedings that have spanned the last 5 years. She has guided me, consoled me when things haven’t gone my way and always advocates for me and my parties best interests.
I would trust Bethan with my life (and my families) and even though I have now relocated, I continue to use Bethan. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. She explains things in a way that I can understand, without the legal jargon, and always makes sure the message is recieved as intended.
She’s worth her weight in gold and whoever instructs Bethan will in the very safest of hands.

What can I say? Not all superheroes wear capes, and Bethan is a shining example of this truth. From the moment I called her and we ‘opened the book and placed it on the shelf’ to the call I made and said… ‘that book, it’s time to take it off the shelf and open it’ to the moment we finished (hopefully) the last page and placed it back on the shelf! we hope we don’t need to speak again. However, should I ever need to revisit that book, it’s without a doubt Bethan will be the one I want by my side!
Throughout this experience, Bethan was nothing short of extraordinary. For anyone searching for unwavering support, she is the one to have in your corner. I cannot thank her enough for her calming presence, her ability to listen, and, most importantly, her steadfast focus on our ultimate goal—my daughter’s well-being.
This incredible woman earned my trust, not just with my life but with my daughter’s too, which was paramount.
Diolch! Thank you!

David James and his team all helped make an unpleasant divorce process somehow more bearable.
His professionalism,and polite but persistent firm approach when dealing with other involved parties was excellent.
I felt totally supported and was always able to contact him or a member of his team. I cannot recommend Wendy Hopkins family law firm and David more highly.

Collected on:
As a fellow lawyer, it felt strange, at first, to instruct Melanie but her outstanding reputation precedes her, and she undertook the role with her customary rigourous, logical, responsive, and pragmatic approach. She was direct, and on a difficult conflict of law issue, she was quickly able to identify the correct (and only realistic) specialist at the London bar who was able to answer it, and brief her accordingly. I have no hesitation in endorsing her skills and recommending her expertise and experience in family law matters
