Family Law - Financial

5

I wish I knew them earlier to also undertake my divorce and child's matters. Their aim is to solve your issue as quickly as possible and not drain you financially. They are quick, efficient, well-read, honest. I would definitely recommend.

excellent assistance with Section 21 Eviction procedure

5

We were assisted by Amber Rainford and Keith Holland at Smith & Co and they were basically faultless in their advice, service and execution of getting us through a difficult period where as landlords we needed to force an unwilling tenant to depart from one of our properties. Everything was clear, concise and cost efficient compared relatively speaking to what we had expected. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Helpful and positive in unusual case.

5

We went to see Amber with an unusual case. From the start we found her helpful, positive and professional. Amber consulted with us and kept us informed every step of the way until full, legal resolution was achieved. We are very grateful for her services and will most definitely go to her again if we ever need legal advice or action again in the future.

Financial Agreement

4

I used Amber for a Financial Agreement settlement pending my divorce. I was impressed with the level of professionalism Amber demonstrated and her ability to articulate my options in a clear and concise manner free from legal jargon. The matter was quite time sensitive and Amber was able to expedite the agreement in a timely manner and well ahead of the agreed time. Amber has an innate ability to be friendly and assuring whilst maintaining a laser focus on the matter in hand which is what impressed me most in terms of her impeccable professionalism. I would recommend Amber to family and friends and indeed have already done so.

Very professional service

5

We reached out to Smith & Co because we were having issues with our landlord, who was ignoring dangerous conditions in the property and refusing to address our concerns. Amber was professional, knowledgeable and very reassuring. We felt in the best of hands and relieved to be legally represented. Thank you Amber for a great result!
