“Excellent service”
Very helpful, friendly. Excellent service
“Absolutely loved the service I received here”
Absolutely loved the service I received here. The quote/price for the services was ahead of the competition by a mile. The team responded very swiftly, answered all our concerns in great detail; everyone was incredibly polite, efficient and accurate. Shout out to Emily for responding outside working hours when it was very needed, and dealing professionally with somebody who knows nothing on the subject - myself. I can not recommend this firm enough - an absolutely brilliant experience, especially compared to other firms I had to deal with in the past.
“Impressed with their professionalism and their services”
After contacting the Head Partnership through a friend who had used them I've been very impressed with their professionalism and their services. I'm glad to have made such a great choice and look forward to working with them again!
Reliable, honest staff. Keep you up to date with everything. They are on top of everything. Aisha was very good, clear about everything and very friendly.
Working with Julia [in Richard's team] was a delight... She responded very quickly with excellent advice which ultimately helped me conclude next steps. I would use her services again in the future and will be recommending her too. Thank you so much.

I can't thank Sally Wood enough for all her help and hard work over the last couple of years with my divorce. Sally, from the very beginning has listened, digested and advised in a professional manner to enable me to make the best decisions going forward. At no point did I feel alone in the process, Sally was always an email or call away explaining everything both legally and stripping out any legal jargon so I could understand and make a rational decision. A divorce isn't an easy thing to go through, with many ups and downs, but with Sally behind me I was able to make the right decisions for me and my family to ensure that decisions were made logically and not emotionally. Thank you again for everything!
Sally Wood (Family Law). Sally has a friendly manner that puts you at ease straight away. From day one Sally helped and advised me which way to go and how to deal with issues as they arose. Sally was so very professional and her knowledge of her specialist field was amazing . This resulted in me achieving a very satisfactory result.
“100% dedicated to my case”
I was recommended Albin and Co for a family law case and contacted them for help. I was contacted by Sally Wood who handled my case from start to finish almost immediately after I sent in an initial inquiry. I have to say Sally's advice was excellent and she gave very helpful information from the very first communication. All aspects of the case were clearly explained and costs were always taken into consideration. Advice was clearly given for every step of my case and Sally and her team ensured that all paper work was filed correctly and even chased up the court when they had not returned paperwork on time to ensure there was no delays in my case. Sally represented myself at my initial hearing and was superb in the way she handled the whole aspect of the hearing making sure to explain everything as it happened and dealt with the other party as well to ensure a smooth and fast hearing. Once the case had moved onto its final hearing Sally recommended a barrister for the day and ensured all paper work was completed and supplied to the court in a timely fashion. In all I felt that Sally and her team were very professional and were 100% dedicated to my case. I got a very positive outcome with my hearing and feel that I owe this to Sally's hard work on my case. I would recommend Albin and Co to anyone who is looking for a solicitors who are dedicated to their work and want to help you get the best possible result.
“Understanding, honest and experienced”
Sally Wood and all the team at Albin & Co were always helpful and processional when working on my case during my divorce. Nothing was too much trouble and I was always kept updated on progress. Sally Wood is a fantastic solicitor who is understanding, honest and experienced. Without her help I would have been lost. she helped me through a very difficult time and my case was successful. I would highly recommend her!
Couldn’t have got through the last 2 years without her. Amazing lady and highly recommended.
“She takes great care to listen”
Sally Wood worked as my solicitor during my divorce. She is very professional and is easy to talk to , which I think is very important when dealing with family issues. She takes great care to listen and offers considered advice. The office team are also very helpful and easy to get along with and again deal with things very quickly efficiently. Their experience and ability is outstanding, as they can offer advice which is clear and worthwhile when Sally is out of the office. I have no problems in recommending Sally and Albin and Co Solicitors to anyone who needs sound professional legal advice.

“I have found them all very friendly and extremely professional”
With all my dealings with any of staff, I have found them all very friendly and extremely professional at a time when I needed it most. Could not recommend highly enough.
“Extremely understanding, pleasant and inspired confidence”
Due to a very distinguished friendly team at KJ Smith's, I was able to achieve an agreeable solution to the matters surrounding my divorce. I must say I was very impressed from the outset initially engaging with Mrs Smith herself who was extremely understanding, pleasant and inspired confidence with her knowledge and experience. Once instructed, my case was handled promptly and utilised various members of the firm along the process who I was equally impressed with, the professionalism and ultimately our end result. I would highly recommended KJ Smith's services. Thanks for all your help and best wishes.
“Kerry put me at ease straight away”
I just felt I needed to put on a review for this amazing solicitor. I went to Kerry Smith as I was seeking to divorce my husband. I was full of emotion and not sure what was ahead of me. I needn't have worried. Kerry put me at ease straight away. Kerry was so empathetic that I suddenly felt so relaxed and she gave me plenty of time to process everything. During the whole procedure she maintained such a calmness no matter what obstacle came along which was so encouraging. Faced with such a delicate situation I felt Kerry remained discreet and honored my opinions throughout. I am sure that with Kerry at the helm, any solicitor that works under her has the same work ethic. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending K J Smith Solicitors.
“Over the years I have recommended Kerry Smith to friends”
Kerry Smith was my solicitor some years ago so, when I required a new will and other advice I had no hesitation in contacting her again. As in the past, I was given excellent legal advice and was treated with consideration, care and kindness. Over the years I have recommended Kerry Smith to friends requiring legal support and would have no hesitation in recommending her, and her now larger team, again. I was particularly impressed with the speed with which matters were addressed, their swift email communication and their availability by telephone.
“Excellent advice and professionalism from start to finish”

Great solicitors, quick painless exchange and very helpful, knowledgeable and professional
“Explained everything in layman's terms”
Dexter Montague were extremely professional when helping me & my husband to make our wills, they explained everything in layman's terms. They answered every question we had & the price was very reasonable, we now have peace of mind, thanks to Dexter Montague! We will be using them again in the future!
“Professional and efficient”
I’ve dealt with many legal practices over the years, but I can genuinely say that DMP is the best that I have experienced. To keep it short and sweet, as well as being professional and efficient, they do one thing that not many lawyers do. They communicate like human beings! They kept me up to date, used email (god forbid) and even phoned me to let me know about progress. Usually people only work with lawyers when they have a problem, and it is good to find a practice that makes it as easy and convenient as possible.
“Recommended”
Have used this company several times both personally and professionally and I am always very happy with the advice given and customer service. Recommended.

“No hesitation in recommending their services”
Having dealt with EJ Winter for a number of years on both a professional and personal basis, I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to others. Paperwork is dealt with promptly, messages left are responded to quickly and communication is always forthcoming from either the 'front line' team or their assistants.
“High professionalism throughout but with the personal touch”
I would like to recommend EJ Winter and Son, they handled all aspects of my divorce, including finances, conveyancing and Will writing. Alex took charge and throughout the whole process (quite lengthy) she guided me through every stage, advised on the best way forward, took me through the pros and cons of every step. With very high professionalism throughout but with the personal touch. Thank you Alex and team!

“Found them to be excellent”
Blandy & Blandy were recommended to me and I used them initially for my divorce. I found them very knowledgeable, efficient and sympathetic. Based on that experience I also used their conveyancing, will writing and Power of Attorney services, and I have again found them to be excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
“A first class team”
I can highly recommend both Andrew Don and Alice Cummins [in Claire's team] of the Family Department who helped me achieve a financial settlement on divorce. I would like to thank them for their strong, solid advice under very trying circumstances and also to the Barrister, Simon Webster, whom they instructed on my behalf. They really helped me to keep matters in perspective and I felt they really cared. A first class team!
“Provided emotional support and reassurance”
Blandy and Blandy was recommended by a family member and it was the best decision I ever made. The team was very professional, kept me up to date with progress throughout my divorce and house separation. They not only gave legal advice but provided emotional support and reassurance when things got tough. Thank you specially to Gemma Kemp, Karen Pratt, Emma Hillier, Catherine Currie and Claire Dyer.
The quality of service was of the very highest level and I would recommend this firm to anyone.
“Could not have achieved without their advice and assistance”
A first class legal team. With a difficult albeit not too complicated problem surrounding the financial aspects of my divorce, they facilitated a sensible, negotiated settlement - one which I could not have achieved without their advice and assistance.
Consistently produces professional, timely and accurate results. Reading's top solicitor.
