Highly recommend Mike – brilliant service Professional, supportive and got a great result

Mike has been absolutely brilliant throughout my case since October. He’s been professional, supportive and always kept me updated every step of the way. He worked incredibly hard to get me this result and I’m really grateful for everything he’s done. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better support throughout the whole process. I’d highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you again for everything.

Family Matters

I first met Mike Hicks in 2016 when going through the stress and upset of a divorce with young children involved when he was with Steed & Steed and I felt at ease with his compassionate and understanding knowledge of the difficult road ahead,he helped and guided me to understand the legal jargon coming from all directions which made the whole process a little less scary. Fast forward to 2024 and after an extremely difficult previous couple of years of hardly any contact with the children the situation needed legal intervention. Mike had changed over with Fisher Jones Greenwood by now and his understanding characteristics were still first class,we found ourselves communicating regularly for the next year in and out of court regarding the delicate matter of child contact,his honest,professional advice took us to a final hearing in September 2025 where the judge awarded quality time with my children. I cannot recommend Mike enough for his expertise in family law with his friendly approachable attitude. Thank you Mike

A great friend at a time of need!

Micheal 'Mike' Hicks has been an absolute reliable rock during the turbulent time which was my divorce and arbitration. His level of professionalism, communication and compassion remained extremely high throughout proceedings, and he ultimately secured me a fair payout when my ex-wife was trying to do anything but!!! I would not hesitate to recommend him to assist you in any family problems you may have. Thank you SO much Mike!

Clear, friendly and professional advice

I was guided through the divorce process initially by Charlotte and then when her workload meant she was unable to continue by Mike Hicks. Although never a cheap process, I felt very well supported and guided throughout and felt confident that it was money well spent. Mike was very proactive and in regular contact throughout. He was professional in everything he did and provided very clear and unambiguous advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fisher Jones Greenwood as solicitors and Mike in particular was excellent throughout. Thank you!
