I contacted Nelsons on the recommendation of another client and was allocated Melanie Brigden. After the initial consultation I was more than confident that Melanie and of course Melanie 2 could handle this somewhat difficult case! Initially I went with a child arrangement order which both parents objected to but Melanie soon dealt with their objections and the order was given … I went for an SGO order as well and although it’s wasn’t granted didn’t feel it was anything to do with the lack of attention to detail by Melanie her hands were tied by social worker recommendation. This still didn’t stop Melanie pushing in court for the best outcome possible on the day .. I am totally happy my granddaughter gets to grow up in a safe , loving and stable future. I would recommend the two Melanie’s and employ them again in a minute .

Recently used Nelsons and Emma Davies in particular for a legal matter, they are excellent in both delivery and explanation of the issue being handled. I would recommend them to anyone needing assistance on any legal matter you need resolving.

Really good communication and management of expectations. Responses are quick and helpful. Providing contact details of a person who is familiar with my case and who can provide help during solicitor's AL/non working days. Everyone I have met/spoken to has had a perfect balance of being warm and helpful whilst maintaining a professional and positive demeanor.

It would be a pleasure to write you a feedback.

I know Naomi Bond for the last two years as she is looking after the financial settlement in my divorce proceedings. It is a challenging case and can be emotionally difficult and frustrating on occasions.

Naomi has been very supportive throughout these proceedings, she knows my case very well, she is very knowledgeable and always has my interest first. She gave me valuable advice and consistently up to date with the work needed. Also, Naomi keeps me up to date with the progress of my case, she is very empathetic and caring, she understands the emotional turmoil that her clients are going through.

I would highly recommend Naomi Bond to any future client and to this award as she deserves it.

We would not be in this position without your help and support. Your focussed, objective, and compassionate approach drew matters to a head whilst giving room for reasonable discussion to open up. Having feared minimal future contact with the girls I now believe we are in a position to agree a positive and dynamic co-parenting arrangement. Thank you. I know not all solicitors are equal in these circumstances.
