Anthony Gold Solicitors
Been using the sound services of Kim Beatson and Jon Nicholson from this firm for many years. Thoroughly recommend in family law and clinical negligence.
tcrayfordExcellent, friendly, service.
Partner Kim Beatson gives instant responses to all communication.
She gives good advice, proactively manages my case and timing, shows good judgement on choice and use of counsel. Exceptionally efficient. Time charges are all detailed on the bill, are recognisable and are typically 0.1 hours.
The service provided by Antony Gold is excellent. I have been dealing with Kim Beatson and her team. As I live abroad it is sometimes difficult to get responses quickly. But, the team has responded to my emails and calls promptly and provided me with the best advice.

Freeman Harris
I strongly recommend Salma Butt and the team at Freeman Harris solicitors. She was incredibly friendly and quick to respond to my queries. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and professionalism. You made the entire process so easy!!!
Jeff DunawayOur family solicitor Salma Butt was very helpful throughout this difficult time.
She kept me updated with all relevant matters.
Our case was rather complicated and she understood & resolved all matters professionally.
They are reasonably priced too. I have no hesitation in recommending Freeman Harris for anyone with family law issues.
My family solicitor Salma Butt was very proactive and always kept me in the loop with all relevant updates. She’s absolutely clued in and knows what she’s doing. My case was rather complicated and she resolved everything within 7-8 months, much quicker than I anticipated. I was a bit worried at some point she had to take over from another solicitor partner who left the company while my case was still in process. Salma took over and dealt with every situation very smoothly including all communication with the court. I can not recommend enough for anyone with family law issues! They’re quite good with the price too. After assessing the case they’ll provide a set price so you know how much you’re going to spend!
Mohammad Ahshan UllahMy solicitor was very knowledgeable and treated me and my case with great understanding. Salma help me on every step of the way and help me see what is fare and reasonable to achieve and entitled to. I would like to thank her once again.
Terry VickersMy experience with this firm was excellent. Salma was charming, efficient, professional and very well informed, and the fees were very reasonable. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Grant Saw Solicitors
My experience with Mandeep Clair and the team at Grant Saw Solicitors-Lawyers was fantastic. Mandeep is smart, cost-conscious, efficient and really knows her field of law. She has supported me with numerous family settlement matters...She is always on point, easy to reach and communicate with. Mandeep does not waste your time and assists you not to procrastinate hers which saves you money. I found Mandeep to be extremely professional and supportive. She is a pleasure to work and cooperate with and someone you can talk to at anytime.
Mandeep has assisted me many times when I felt lost. She took her time to explain things to put you at ease. Every interaction (emails, phone calls) I had with Mandeep, her colleagues Tyrone and the team, I could tell they truly cared about my outcome and everything was explained to me in detail. I would highly recommend Mandeep, Tyrone, and their team to anyone looking to get quality legal services. You will be taken care of with any issues that they are presented with and their billing is fair, reasonable and great results. Thank you for all the great work.
I am tremendously happy with Mandeep Clair Tyrone and her professional team at Grant Saw Solicitors-Lawyers. Mandeep definitely a lawyer that looks after her client.
Nguyen TranMandeep Clair (in Family Law) recently represented me over a two-year period and her service, attention to detail, kindness and balanced view of my situation was reassuring. She didn't sugar-coat the reality of what I had to contend with, but always had options (which was a relief) in how to move forward. She was knowledgeable, in control and communicated every step of the process, available to receive my calls and many questions directly. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

Aletta Shaw
I was helped throughout my divorce process by Aletta Shaw. From start to end they listened to my needs, provided me with options available to me to help me make my own decisions and were clear and concise with their communication at all times. I would highly recommend.
Michael ThompsonI would highly recommend Aletta Shaw to anyone. My case was handled professionally and with care as if I was a person and not a means to money. My Solicitor did her best to make a terrible situation better by trying to make a long drawn out case as short as possible yet not allowing the other party to take advantage. If you are in need of a Solicitor look no further, you won't find better.
Jenn HarrisonAletta Shaw Solicitors processed my divorce. I found Rachael Duke (part of Patricia's team), and her team extremely professional. They are upfront with fees, gave good advice and always let me know how things were progressing I would not hesitate in recommending them.

They're brilliant, incredibly professional and do what needs to be done. Won my case and resulted in me getting my kids home, they then followed up a while later to see how the kids were, showing they truly cared and aren't in it just for the money like some solicitors.

Broadway Solicitors
Don't go big and commercial go to Broadway solicitors. Bhavna and the team are very professional with the bonus of being able to provide a personal touch. I initially engaged a large firm but found that I was being left and ignored so we parted company and I started with Broadway. From the very first meeting I was given the confidence that I was a valued client and that I was in capable hands. The legal jargon was broken down and delivered in a user friendly way and I received regular updates without prompting. The solicitor and barrister team were fantastic and I have no doubt that they were value for money. I absolutely recommend Broadway solicitors.
John MarkI first was referred to Broadway Solicitors in 2006 at what was a very challenging, emotional time in my life. Bhavna was professional, kind, caring and guided and supported me throughout the process. I have again gone back to Bhavna this year 2020 as I would not go anywhere else and once again Bhavna supported me . I could not have been strong enough to proceed without her. I highly recommend Bhavna Desai and her team at Broadway Solicitors.
Linda StewartThe only thing that made my divorce less traumatic was the ease at which it was over with, all thanks to Bhavna and her amazing team. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the amazing service she provided. The communication throughout was excellent; at no point did I feel misinformed or misled, making her work unparalleled to others I’ve encountered in the same field. Bhavna’s warm and reassuring approach gave me the strength to overcome one of the worst periods of my life- I bid good riddance to this chapter with the help of Broadway Solicitors!
Anika HussainBhavna and her team rescued me from a very traumatic separation with my partner. They stopped me from being evicted from the family home and they secured a very good settlement for me. They are so compassionate and explained everything very clearly to me along the way. I am forever grateful to you all. Thank You!
Helen PrinceI highly recommend Bhavna, she has been the strength I needed at a very difficult time. She is clear, direct and keeps your focus where it needs be. I am so glad to have Bhavna in my life helping me to successfully navigate the most important steps I'll ever take for me and my family. Thank you so much Bhavna, you have helped keep my feet on the ground in the middle of a serious storm!

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.

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.

Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
