Client Feedback

I am at present a client of Scott Emsden. He also represented me 5 years ago, when I applied for court to gain access and parental responsibility of my daughter. I unfortunately had to apply to court again in hope to obtain my time with my daughter. In both court case I was awarded exactly what I had hoped for and this was down to Scott Emsden’s help. He is extremely knowledgeable about the family court process, he is approachable and overall an excellent solicitor. Which is why I used him again, when going back to court for the second time. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I would highly recommend Scott Emsden and his firm. I came to them with a particularly complex and emotionally difficult situation, and from the outset Scott made it feel far more manageable. What stood out most was his ability to combine clear, pragmatic advice with genuine kindness. He never overcomplicated things or added unnecessary pressure, he focused on what mattered and guided me through each step with calm, measured judgement. At the same time, he remained empathetic and understanding of the personal side of what I was dealing with, which made a real difference. Communication was consistent and reassuring, and I always felt that my case was being handled with care and integrity. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is both highly competent and human in their approach, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scott and the firm.

Was recommended by someone to contact Scott at Bates Wells & Braithwaite. Swift reply from Scott to my initial email. Had a great conversation with Scott via telephone appointment. Very knowledgeable and down to earth. Not rushed, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all my questions and gave me advice on options for the future. Would recommend Scott and his firms services. Thank you again!
