Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am the firm’s managing director and head of the family department. I have management responsibilities and roles, including maintaining our contract with the Legal Aid Agency. Having started out as a trainee at Peace & Co in 1996, I have developed a specialism in issues relating to child protection law. I now represent children, their parents, and families in cases where social services are involved. Many of those cases are complex. I have been a continual member of the Law Society Children Panel since 2003 and have represented children since 2010.

Dear client - thank you for leaving feedback. Your opinion is important, as its how you feel about your own experience. In terms of your ratings, its really positive that you rated us 5/5 for 'initial impresions', 'communication' and in the 'documentation accuracy' categories. You rated us 4/5 for legal knowledge and 3/5 for approachability and value for money. I note you paid the exact amount that was charged for our legal services. The 1 star rating is therefore dissapointing and does not appear to reflect the above ratings. As a Children Panel solicitor for over 20 years, the advice I give always has to be be child-focused, realistic and deliverable. Sometimes that involves being clear and honest with people about what can and can't be achieved. I always 'go the extra mile', but in this case I am am genuinely sorry that things did not go as hoped for you. Moving on, I'd welcome the opportunity to understand why things did not go as hoped for you, as negative feeback provides the most valuable opportunities for change and mutual understanding. If you don't get back to me, I still wish you well. Julian Flewitt Managing Director Peace Legal Ltd.

I have worked with Mr. Flewitt before I find Julian to be a very competent solicitor very knowledgeable tells people how things is and potential prospect of certain things I cannot fault Julian in any way shape or form. It’s just sometimes when the odds are stacked against you there is no chance winning the judges ear thank you Julian for everything you have done past and most recently.

Special guardianship

I first met Julian regarding a case and I was very nervous however Julian soon put me at ease and explained a lot of things in detail. He tried his very best to get the best for us and continued to do so through out the case. Couldn’t thank him enough for all his help and advice he gave us. He went above and beyond our expectations many thanks Janine and Neil.

Dear Janine and Neil. Thank you for your kind words. We recognise that seeing a solicitor can be a stressful situation for many people, and putting clients at their ease is part of the work we do.
