England & Derbyshire, Truly an outstanding Company of exceptional family values and legal expertise.

Firstly, I have a very special thank you to Adrian England, Anthony Derbyshire, Jayne Derbyshire, Madeliene Jones, and basically the entire team. To anybody reading my review, I have been totally overwhelmed by the compassion, understanding and outstanding level of support I received from England & Derbyshire. Truly this is a company of outstanding integrity founded upon good old fashioned family values, and exceptional legal expertise. Throughout a lengthy case, I was privileged to be represented by Madeliene Jones who throughout changing and challenging complexities, maintained outstanding levels of communication, guiding me through each stage presenting me with clear and easy to understand options, recommended courses of actions, and she takes No Nonsense from opposing legal practices, no matter their status. It was also a comfort to know that behind Madeleine she has the support and guidance from Adrian and Anthony, both gifted with a wealth of first-class legal expertise to guide the team where needed. Never at any point was I ever placed under any pressure, emphasis is always placed upon client’s wellbeing, for which the team truly goes the extra mile to always ensure the best outcome for their client. Thank you England & Derbyshire, I am eternally grateful for everything you have all done for me, lost for words now so I close by saying to anyone reading this, please do not hesitate to place your legal needs in their hands, I assure you that you will not regret it.

Family Law

I didn’t know I could claim

I had a messy divorce from my ex. He was due to retire from the Navy at the time of our divorce. He did not want me to have a share of his pension. He negotiated that I keep our house and contents. I proved he had taken out the majority of the equity of our house but my then solicitor told me that was the deal, end of matter! No negotiation, nothing. I had to struggle for years to put my children through university and any other outgoings without his help. I saw an advert on Facebook and phoned England and Derbyshire. The staff there were so friendly and helpful! They guided me through the legal jargon and joyfully I received a nice little payment! My youngest daughter was getting married at the time so I was able to contribute. Thank you so much England and Derbyshire!

Professional and Caring!

Madeleine Jones and Kate Wood have helped us navigate the court process with clear professionalism and great kindness. They helped us find the right barrister and supported us through the whole stressful 2 years it took to get resolution. We could not have been better advised and supported.
