Nicola WilliamsI would fully recommend these solicitors. Helped me get a good settlement in my divorce and gave me robust advice throughout. Many thanks.
Alexander ButlerWe have used Robertsons for both family law matters and conveyancing matters. Each time we have received first-class and friendly service. The team are clearly very knowledgeable, that they're personable too is a huge bonus! We'd use Robertsons Solicitors every time.
Mrs GrayI was wondering who to choose for my divorce and glad that I picked Robertsons. Guided me through and made the process much easier.
David HensleyI used the family law department and felt supported all the way through my matter. It was a difficult process at times but Robertsons were always in my corner.

Alun Jones Family Law
I cannot speak highly enough about Alun and his firm. I dealt with Alun over a period of several years in relation to my case and throughout he provided wise guidance, advising when it was the right time to apply pressure and equally important, when to back off. My case has finally now concluded very satisfactorily and I'm extremely grateful for all the work Alun did and the advice he gave me to get to this stage. If you're looking for family lawyers in South Wales then I can highly recommend this firm. Thank you Alun, Ceri and the whole team!
MikeAlun helped me through what was the most emotional and hardest time in my life going through a difficult divorce. His team showed professionalism throughout and made me feel
I had some one there for support when I needed it. Each part of the process was explained to me in a way that made sense and gave great guidance at all times.
I can not recommend more highly Alun and his team. Best wishes and keep up the great work. Sean K
Alun helped me enormously with my divorce. He is a very patient person who spent a lot of time dealing with my case. My ex-partner gave me a very difficult time that I was very close to breaking point. I am now happily married with a lovely wife and son.
Words are not enough to thank you Alun. Wish you all the best.

CJCH Solicitors
Very professional. Would recommend them to anyone.
Steve ReesFrom first visit we got the distinct impression that we were working with a professional company that would represent us in our best interest.
Andrew [Jodi's colleague] represented us and in court we knew we had made the best choice. His workmanship was exemplary and we were victorious.
I would most definitely recommend CJCH to anyone needing professional legal services; and not to place any emphasis on remarks from a moron who parked to meet a “client” in a place they had not paid for.

I had Chris barber for family court and he provided a brilliant service and was an amazing Solictor I could not give him enough credit he worked so hard and helped me so much and made me feel so at ease about my case I would defiantly recommend and would use if I had to for future purposes :)
Annabel KeillerI needed some family law advice in relation to my children. Chris Barber was my solicitor. He knew his area and provided expert advice which helped resolve the situation. I am pleased he focused on resolution rather than the necessity of going to court.
Belinda HawkinsThe advise and support we receive from Chris Barber and the team from Robertson Solicitors is invaluable. Always a quick response to and more than adequate turn around times on queries. The service is also friendly and approachable.
Bryn MeadowsChris Barber has been a huge help to me through my divorce. He was always clear, quick to respond, and efforts he made not to inflame a difficult situation for the sake of all of us, including our daughter, have been most appreciated. Thank you.
Iva HarriesChris Barber was instructed for my divorce. He provided all the information I needed and updated me regularly of the divorce progress. He was extremely efficient when responding to my queries and made a stressful situation less so.
Samantha GriffithsExcellent service from William Baird and Chris Barber. They made what could have been a complex matter very straightforward and dealt with it promptly and courteously. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

Wendy Hopkins Family Law
In dealing with the team at Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice, I have been struck by how compassionate and caring they are, and how insightful they are in identifying the right course of action to suit their client. They definitely don't fit the stereotype. They recommend action which will cause least pain and least unnecessary cost. Their reputation as being the best is justified, and they are also lovely people to deal with. I have already recommended them to a friend who has nothing but positive things to say about them too.
Paula MorrisFamily court proceedings can be distressing, so it’s so important to have expert, sound advice, which is exactly what is provided by Wendy Hopkins Family Law. I cannot speak highly enough of the team.
Thank you so much for the advice you’ve given me along the way, it has been faultless throughout and has ensured the best result possible for me and my children.

Howells
Having just recently gone through a divorce, Howells Solicitors dealt with my case promptly, efficiently and with empathy, and in fact made the whole process a lot less painful in what was a very difficult period. Many thanks to all concerned , I would certainly recommend.
Sarah ConradI have recently used Howells Family Law and Conveyancing Departments and found them both to be highly efficient and reliable. Communication was first class and I always knew what was going on and what time scales were being worked to. The recent conveyancing was on a very tight schedule and required liaison with the Family Law side. I am please to say everything completed ahead of when I had hoped and when I was out of the country. First Class and would happily recommend.

The Best Family Solicitors, Independently Listed
Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.
Trusted Reviews
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
Rising Star
Is the solicitor part of an established firm and they have quickly gained a reputation for being expert in their field? A highly skilled rising star who doesn’t yet command the highest fees, so making them very good value.
Depth of Team
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
