Barrett and Co
I have recently used Barrett & Co to assist me with my divorce and can only say good words about the experience. Paul Wild especially not only provided reassuring advice, but his professionalism (and indeed, that of everyone at Barrett & Co) made me feel supported throughout the whole process, and left me with the feeling that he genuinely cared about my situation. The level of dedication displayed by not only Paul but also Richard Ince in the conveyancing team was top notch, in particular when turning work around within tight timescales, and keeping me appraised throughout so nothing came as a surprise. I will definitely use Barrett & Co for any legal needs in the future - very highly recommended!
James BigusPaul Wild and his team at Barrett & Co have guided us through a complex family issue in a very professional manner managing expectations and always keeping us informed . I would have no problem recommending Paul if you need services of a solicitor regarding family law.
David MarshI would without any doubt recommend Paul Wild. Paul has been amazing in recently dealing with my separation deed. Paul is very helpful and understanding. I can honestly say it’s so nice to deal with someone who genuinely cares about your situation. In my opinion Paul goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Carla LeeSeperation and divorce is indeed a painful experience for most people, and when I was fronted with both it was indeed a frightening thought.I got in touch with Barret and Co and made contact with Paul Wild.Within minutes of meeting Paul he was able to put my mind at ease and gave me great confidence in going forward with things.Paul was thoughtful and considerate and so very professional.I cant recommend his services enough if you are going through the experience of a separation or a divorce.
Thank you so much Paul for your support and hard work you did for me.

Family First Solicitors
I am forever grateful for all the help and support I have received from Ursula – she is very knowledgeable, very professional and very supportive. I don’t know how long my divorce would’ve dragged on if it wasn’t for Family First. Prices are very reasonable and services worth every penny. Initial meeting was £60 and I never felt like I was being rushed in wrapping it up, I was given plenty of time (well over an hour) to explain my situation and received solid practical advice. Consecutive sessions were very helpful and Ursula gets straight to the point so you don’t waste any time – and money! (I was a pay as you go customer and that option is brilliant if you are on a budget). Ursula has also represented me in the court on one occasion and the outcome was very favourable. All in all I cannot recommend Family First’s services enough, they will give you all the support you require and, most importantly, will deliver the results.

Family First Solicitors were outstanding. Following negative experiences with other solicitor firms, having Ursula's compassionate, clear, and consistent advice was a huge relief. We decided to use the 'pay as you go' system which meant that we met with Ursula for explicit advice, but we did the leg work with regards to the paperwork. This saved us a huge amount of money. I cannot speak more highly of the firm as a whole, the response to our concerns or requests for meetings was always rapid and we greatly benefitted from Ursula's diligent, witty and astute wealth of experience. It was a very difficult time made considerably easier as we felt completely confident putting our trust in Ursula who enabled us to get excellent results.
Steve TamblinI highly recommend Family First! Ursula Rice & Helen Grimbleby are completely amazing at what they do, they were passionate and dedicated to achieve the outcome that we did! I felt totally safe in their hands, they are professional, genuine and take the time to listen. Without their support it would not have been easy- All at Family First supported me and my family throughout our court case and went above and beyond for us. Me and my family are forever grateful for their time and efforts. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Natalie Archer

Albin & Co
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 it's 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.
DJ VapourSally Wood and all the team at Albin & Co were always helpful and processional when working on my case during my divorce.
Nothing was to 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!
Christine HintonSally 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.

Stowe Family Law
Often in the most distressing times, one requires a good lawyer. Naheed is an extremely caring, friendly and a helpful individual. She will sit down and listen to you for as long as you need. She is not just a lawyer, but a friend. She always looks to develop a relationship of trust first and only then provides you with legal advice. I have seen Naheed on countless occasions work tirelessly to help her clients achieve a brighter tomorrow. If ever in need, Naheed is the name!
Arshid MahmoodAfter my experience I would highly recommend Naheed to everyone. Naheed is an extremely intelligent, thoughtful and friendly individual who has an enormous amount of knowledge. I felt she was always two steps ahead. She had an answer to every question I had and she would happily answer any questions I raised. You cannot go wrong with Naheed.
Arry KhanI have used the services of Naheed Taj, for my personal family matters. I cannot reccomend her highly enough. She is a compassionate, caring individual always willing to go the extra mile. Naheed also understands the cultural boundaries within the Asian community. Her knowledge is immaculate. Would highly reccomend her to everyone.

KJ Smith
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.
Gloria StaceyKerry Smith was my solicitor some year 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.

Dexter Montaguen
Great solicitors, quick painless exchange and very helpful, knowledgeable and professional
M SethiDexter 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!
Melissa AndersonI’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.

Blandy & Blandy
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.
TeresaI can highly recommend both Andrew Don and Alice Cummins [in Brenda Long'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!
