Great support and advice!
Sabina was supportive and patient throughout the long process of my divorce. While always very professional in her approach, she also had a warm and friendly touch that I came to value.
Would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic legal advice and support
Everyone told me a divorce would be the worst year of my life. I had no idea just how awful it would be. Mine was right at the top of the scale and also complex; including Court appearances for both Property & Finance and also the children. The stress was unbearable. But the one thing that made it survivable was being able to benefit from Sabina's incredible legal knowledge and experience. Her reassurance and care were genuine. Her advice was ultimately proven to be right on every point. The barristers she organised were perfect for every hearing. She turned up to walk me into Court and hand me over to my barrister and then stayed the whole morning when she realised how complex it was going to be. I would recommend Sabina to anyone without hesitation and in a heart beat and would not have made it through this year without her guidance.

Excellent divorce assistance
Sabina stepped in when I needed someone to help me with my divorce after other solicitors had let me down. The entire way she was professional and efficient. Every question was answered clearly within a day. She even pointed out matters I had not considered. Above all she respected my decisions and didn’t try to make a difficult time more complex. Thanks v much Sabina

Pulled me through my divorce
Sabina has been brilliant from start to finish with getting me through my divorce which at times has been very hard. She has given me not only the practical advice but has helped me emotionally when things got really tough. Communication remained strong throughout the whole process which really helps to give you confidence that the process is on going. Thank you!

My dealings with Wollens 2021 January- December
When I first contacted Mrs Smith on 15th January 2021, I was in such a state of distress and with my Devonshire accent, she must have recorded what she was listening to, and I doubt it some people would have agreed to act for me, but she did, and we had an initial meeting (fully covid compliant) in her office from 11:00- 13:00 on 20th January 2021. From the very outset she treated me with respect, and did not talk down to me, which is something I have not experienced with the legal profession before. The same applied to her various assistants I met during the course of the year, and not forgetting the excellent Barrister (Jody Atkinson) she obtained for me. I can't recommend her highly enough.
