Divorce handled very well

Paul guided me through the case law and the process we needed to follow. He was fast to follow up when communications came in or to questions from me, and provided pragmatic and real-world advice to my situation. Thank you!

Paul Owen

Paul has been incredible right from the start of the process. My situation was a tricky one due to having 3 children with my ex who had drink and substance problems, would harrass me and make false allegations involving the police. Paul ensured that the children were kept safe and got back into the family home and sort the correct orders to do so. He helped me with her court applications to make sure the children were protected (they now have a lives with order to stay with me) and also finalised our financial settlement. Paul was recommended to me by a friend after having some differing advice from another solicitor that I had spoken to and I am so glad that I took my friends advice and spoke to Paul. He made sure that we didn't spend time or money on things that weren't relevant, kept me grounded throughout the process and was able to reassure me on anything I needed. Would 100% recommend him to anyone. Paul I thank you sincerely, you have helped me so much and my life is now much calmer and my children are much safer and in a much more stable place

Matrimonial Case

Paul was exceptional throughout, from the initial Teams meeting, subsequent in person meetings and through e-mails, telephone calls etc communication was provided clearly, promptly and with guidance based on accurate information. Paul was faultless in all areas - a consummate professional.
