Truly INCREDIBLE team

I couldn't speak more highly of Melanie Bridgen and her paralegal associate Melanie Theakstone. They have both been extremely professional at all times, and have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of my case, from start to finish. I have worked with solicitors prior to instructing them, but they are definitely the best by far, they are in fact second to none in their field. They have been kind, compassionatte and helpful consistently, and got instant results. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of instructing a legal team to fight their corner. You will be amazed by their level of expertise, and the results they get, all while keeping the fees to a minimum at the same time. Thanks SO much to you both Melanie and Melanie I am hand on heart truly grateful! Thanks without end ;-)

Child law matters

I contacted Nelson’s on the recommendation of another client and was allocated Melanie Brigden. After the initial consultation I was more than confident that Melanie and of course Melanie 2 could handle this somewhat difficult case! Initially I went with a child arrangement order which both parents objected to but Melanie soon dealt with their objections and the order was given … I went for an SGO order as well and although it’s wasn’t granted didn’t feel it was anything to do with the lack of attention to detail by Melanie her hands were tied by social worker recommendation. This still didn’t stop Melanie pushing in court for the best outcome possible on the day .. I am totally happy my granddaughter gets to grow up in a safe , loving and stable future. I would recommend the two Melanie’s and employ them again in a minute .

Nelson’s have represented me as of November 2022. I was put through to Melanie Theakstone who has been the most supportive woman all the way through my case. She was kind, caring and listened to all of my issues and did her best to help and support me through them. My case came to a close with the best possible outcome at the beginning of August and it was Melanie who helped me get there. Thank you so much 😊
