Testimonials

‘The team took me through the whole divorce procedure at a mutual speed, which ensured that I was clear on everything was to take place and what was expected of me and vice versa. As a team if my main contact was in court or not available I was still able to speak to a person who knew my case or who could find the answer for me in a reasonable time scale.'
‘My main contact was Jackie Wells. She was sensitive to my situation, but also stood up for my rights. These were always discussed fully and even at times when I was happy with my portion of the divorce, she would either accept my decision, if I was adamant on the issue or if she felt I was unsure she would enlighten me as to why I should be trying to obtain my fair share. She definitely looked after my interests in the divorce and took into account my feelings at the time.’
