Johnson Astills
I would be more than happy to use you and also recommend you to anybody that needed family advice.
Thank you for all of your assistance, sound advice and excellent judgment. If I did need to use a Solicitor in the future.
An excellent and professional service provided by Sharon and Joanne.
Both had a friendly approach to their work and were very good at all times in reassuring my daughter. Many Thanks.
Verified ClientYou have helped to change mine and the boy’s lives.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you.
Verified ClientI will be eternally grateful. I just wanted to say sorry I didn’t get the chance yesterday as emotions were all over the place but I just wanted to thank you for all your help and support. Not only have you provided excellent legal advice and work, you have also been a wonderful support in understanding my son’s needs and best interests. With your expert knowledge in domestic violence you heard me and made me feel like I had a voice. Not many do, so for that I will be eternally grateful. I would just like to add a special thanks to Rhian too as she also has been very supportive when you have been unavailable.

Holland Family Law
I am very grateful for everything Claire has done for me, she has got me through some very emotional situations. Claire has always been very honest with me from start to finish and has always had my best interest at heart. Claire was always on the end of the phone if I ever had a problem to advise me in her upmost professional manner.
I am a mum that had to go through the courts for the access of my children and I couldn't of got through it without her.
I honestly could not recommend any other lawyer than Claire Holland she is one true asset that I couldn't of been without.
Claire has navigated me through a tricky divorce in the last 12 months.
What I appreciated most about her was her ability to talk to me with empathy whilst remaining frank, honest and objective, and most of all professional, focussing on the job to be done to secure the best outcome possible - whatever that took.
She explained all the legal terms and processes to me in clear English and patiently answered all of my numerous questions to give me peace of mind at the most stressful time in my life. Holland Family Law has saved my sanity and that was worth every penny.

Glynis Wright & Co
It is easy to make the assumption that all solicitors are the same, experts in the legal process and void of feelings.
Seven years ago I had the good fortune of meeting Glynis who helped me gain access to my son, the most precious element of my life.
Yes, the process was a roller-coaster and throughout I was professionally told what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear.... an honesty that I value.
Above all, throughout the process, it was obvious that Glynis cared about me and her clients, really cared often going above and beyond.
3 weeks ago, my son carried the rings at my wedding, something I once thought would never happen. If I had not have met Glynis, it would not have.
I write this review to help others make the right choice as I did. For one overriding reason.... because Glynis cares.
David PrescodGlynis and her team are excellent! They helped with a number of matters for me and I found them to be efficient, responsive and, most of all, caring. All of these are hard to find in a family law practice and I found them all in abundance here. Cannot rate them highly enough and their awards are richly deserved!
Hemi TannaI had a very difficult and stressful divorce, however knowing I had secured the best legal representation in the area helped me sleep at night. Throughout the process I was given sensible, practical legal advice.
The firm tries to gain a satisfactory resolution at the minimum cost to the client. Sadly, I feel some firms will do whatever maximises their fee.
Above all Glynis really cares for the wellbeing of her clients, so as well as high levels of professionalism there was genuine concern and empathy too.
Can highly recommend.
Dom GreenI was introduced to Glynis Wright & Co through recommendation, the initial meeting made my decision to appoint Glynis easy, I knew I didn't have to check out any other law practices. To be honest I was scared, Glynis showed just the right amount of empathy, care and courage I needed for me to believe I was in safe hands.
I needed someone who understood and could represent me on complex business issues. It was the way that Glynis questioned and listened that made me realise she was right for this too.
Yes, it was a difficult process and no Glynis did not always tell me what I wanted to hear - a virtue I am extremely grateful for. Looking back I feel that Glynis 'mentored' me. My wife and I met met and talked regularly through the process, something Glynis positively supported, which meant a conclusion was reached without the need of court or barristers.
We are 99% there, just waiting for the Decree Absolute and my legal costs are considerably less than those of my wife whose solicitor has made it more complex than it needed to be.
Thank you Glynis

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?
