Friendly, knowledgeable

Had a free no obligation chat with Sue Harwood regarding my divorce and financial settlement. Extremely helpful chat and spoke in terms I could easily understand for what can be at times a complicated subject. Thank you Sue. Would recommend.

Fantastic support and service

Rebecca was very knowledgeable, she was quick with responding to me, she knew what she was talking about. I had a difficult ex husband but with her support I was able to get a financial disclosure In the end, it was a long process (because the ex wouldn’t sign paperwork) but with Rebecca’s support we managed to get it completed.
Would highly recommend and if I need anything else in the future I will contact her .

Divorce support

Rebecca kept me on track over a long period of time even when provoked by the other party, she kept me level headed. And whilst I may have in my mind lost a few battles with Rebecca’s help I won the war.

Truly amazing advice

I made contact with this solicitor team through my Union membership which I’m so glad I did!
Absolutely amazing advice!
Fiona Spinks from Woolley & Co was such an excellent listener and gave me such good advice.
I did not have to repeat my concerns to Fiona and my response was both thorough and knowledgable and in a response I could connect with.
I sometimes feel organisation's can become almost mechanical in their approach but Fiona was amazing!
I really, really cannot put into words your support this morning.
Advice I will be moving forward with.
Thank you so much.
Would highly recommend/ use again.

Successfully annulled thanks to Susan Harwood

Sue is an outstanding solicitor who gives realistic and precise professional views during the consultation and is communicative throughout the whole process promptly as well as giving advice in my best interest.

There are many law firms or solicitors who barely have any knowledge about annulment, if you are looking for an experienced and strongly knowledgeable solicitor to act on your behalf, Sue would be the best person to go to, I cannot recommend enough!

Professional Clear Advice

Without a doubt this was one of the most difficult times of my life, one I truly believed could never happened to me. Catherine couldn’t have been more understanding, supportive, patient and clear in guiding me through the whole process. It was a complex case and Catherine was clear in her advice and always helped me to achieve deadlines in a timely manner without to much upset.
It's been a long road but I am now divorced after 4 and a half years with a secure financial settlement and looking forward to the future.
Thank you Catherine for helping me through the process, I will always be incredibly grateful for all your help.

Professional & very helpful

After my two children removed from family home and not knowing where in the uk they were I appointed Rebecca Franklin to help me with my case. In short Rebecca from the start was appreciative of my situation and knew exactly what steps to take and in my darkest times when I needed advice Rebecca was always available and was always able to put my mind at rest. I could not have asked for more my service from Rebecca was professional and timely and could not have asked for more.

I spoke to several divorce lawyers before picking Rebecca and I know I made the right choice.

I felt from the first moment we spoke that Rebecca was in my corner, her advice has been excellent and she's made a difficult process so much easier. Her response time was really good and always available on the phone. Fees are clear and transparent so no surprises at all along the way.

If you're looking for a divorce lawyer I strongly recommend you choose Rebecca.

Rebecca Franklin in the best solicitor I have ever dealt with. She was a brilliant communicator, provided expert legal advice and delivered it almost immediately every time I needed to reach her. 11/10. Thanks Rebecca.

Not a good experience with this company. Sent me incorrect invoice and didn't call me back to discuss and then sent me emails threatening me with court action. AVOID

Rebecca has been fantastic from start to finish, she took the time to explain what I needed to do and what everything would cost and how long it would take etc before making any payments and before I even decided to instruct her, she has been very professional and always explained everything in detail making the divorce process less stressful, would definitely recommend Rebecca without a doubt.
