From start to finish, Sam’s approach was supportive and reassuring. She took the time to explain the technical details involved in my case that enables me to make the right decisions and walk away with a settlement figure I was happy with. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a separation/divorce.

Excellent service provided against a really tight deadline
My partner and I had a co-habitation agreement prepared prior to our moving in together.
Due to some unforseen delays by the other party, the agreement needed to be reviewed by my solicitor Samantha Miles in a very short period of time. She explained to me simply and clearly all the areas of concern which she had and in just a matter of hours had the re-draft of the agreement with the changes ready and returned to the third party.
The service I received from Samantha and Warner Goodman was exceptional, very fast, efficient and friendly. I can highly recommend this company to anyone requiring a solicitor.

Excellent service, would very highly recommend
Discussing divorce is painful, emotional, scary, confusing and overwhelming. I felt all of these emotions prior to my appointment with Samantha. Samantha was exceptionally professionally and provided a level of compassion that I wasn't expecting. She expertly guided me to give the information that I needed to understand the position I was in. She was very knowledgeable about the different parts of matrimonial law that were pertinent to my circumstances. She spoke to me with kindness and compassion and explained legal issues to me in a way that was easy to understand. I would say that she went above and beyond to make sure that I understood what she had said and very quickly provided me with notes on our meeting that I could easily refer to for factual information about the situation I was in. This is so important when dealing with matters that leave you vulnerable to forgetting, misinterpreting or misremembering what was said to you because of the emotional state you are in during the consultation. Again, beyond what I would have expected, I felt that Samantha made sure I was recovered enough to leave the office feeling contained and listened to.
Anastasia, Samantha's paralegal assistant was also exceptionally professional and kept thorough, impartial notes which I'm sure assisted in providing me with a really helpful summary of our meeting and clear plans for my next steps.
A huge thank you to both Samantha and Anastasia for helping me at time when I needed it most. This review come with my gratitude to you both, a reminder of the exceptional work you do to help people who are feeling vulnerable and the highest of recommendations for their services. It may seem like a lot of money to pay when you may have little to spare but the advice and compassion is more than worth it!

Excellent Advice. Excellent Service,
I sought Samantha Miles' advice about a sensitive and difficult personal matter arising from a divorce settlement. She was kind and understanding and immediately explained the issues I needed to consider, thereby enabling me to decide the best way forward. She then prepared the necessary documentation for the Court and very soon the matter was satisfactorily concluded. I rate Samantha Miles very highly and I thoroughly recommend her to you.

Samantha's excellent advice and calm, matter-of-fact approach was invaluable to me during the four year period that I went through separation and divorce. Her advice helped guide me and significantly reduced the stress of the process. Samantha was very responsive to requests for advice and I would recommend her highly.
