divorce

Melanie and her team were very helpful during a less than pleasant and protracted process. Communication was very good and I was kept fully informed of the state of play throughout.

Used for a divorce and financial matters

Hewitts, specifically Melanie and Jade, were really straightforward to deal with. Melanie was really upfront about timescales and costs (which were pretty spot on), and just clear and honest to talk to. Things were explained well, good advice about what was and wasn't important to focus on, and everything kept as uncomplicated as possible which was a real help when going through a stressful and emotional process. I would highly recommend.

Very professional and personal

I was very happy with the solicitor, very professional but treated me like an individual not just a number. She was adaptive to my needs as the devorce progressed and made me feel in control throughout. I never felt like I was just a source of income and Evey interaction was useful.
