A divorce is a difficult time, and honestly I felt worse, and a bit belittled after this call. I had done as much research on financial matters of a divorce as possible as I had received an offer and wanted, based on experience, to know the best way forward. I was no clearer by the end of the process and I felt like they were not on my side. I decided not to proceed only to find my refund was pounds out of the initial £500 payment to be no further along.
A representative from Your Local Family Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 07 February, 2025:
We are sorry to read your view and to hear that you feel this way. We understand that dealing with a divorce can be a stressful time and that the advice given is not always what is expected or wanted. Our solicitors provide realistic advice to ensure that expectations are managed and costs are not incurred unnecessarily so. Details of our charging structure and hourly rate were made clear. The time spent in dealing with matters was in our opinion justified and we would have been happy to discuss this with you if you had contacted us on receipt of your invoice.

Won't reveal any details but used Garfield and YLFS for a family matter, really had no idea how it all worked but they provided an excellent service and explained everything how it can be understood for those not in the know.
Really couldn't recommend them enough, always available when needed and went above and beyond to reassure, offer advise and guidance.
All staff was polite professional and caring in all forms of communication and always did as much as possible to help.
Thanks to all the team!

After having an awful experience with a different solicitor firm I was recommended by a friend to contact Joanne, so I did. From the first phone call I had with Joanne, I was put at ease and reassured. This journey for me
has been very stressful and at times I couldn't see an end but Joanne was always on hand to answer any questions or concerns I had. She is very prompt, efficient, is honest and reliable and I would highly recommend Joanne for anyone seeking a solicitor. I am so grateful for the support and guidance Joanne has given me throughout this procedure, thank you.

I can't thank Joanne and her team enough.
They made a difficult process bareable.
Joanne gave sound advice and steered me in the right direction. Never judgmental and always willing to listen.
Even when Joanne was not avaliable, there was someone else to get advice from.
