My Experience With Lanyon Bowdler
When I got the letter off my ex spouse’s solicitor I didn’t know what to do, and when you have been married as long as we were and I am in my seventies the question was should I get a solicitor or just let my ex get 50/50. But if I had not got a solicitor I am not sure if I would have coped. So I know it has cost a great deal, but I know it would have cost not just money but the stress as well. Though it has been very stressful, without the guidance of Anne I’m not sure where I would be now.

Excellent experience on Family Law side with Anne Lewis
When needing to make Child Arrangements in regard to my son - I was keen to only pursue mediation to achieve an equitable outcome for all. However when allegations were made against me in the form of a non-molestation application, and a refusal of my son's mother to engage in mediation, I required the help of a Solicitor to take things forward and secure a Child Arrangements Order.
I'd always heard good things about Lanyon Bowdler in respect to Family Law, and engaged with them to assist me - I was always hesitant at the same time due to cost implications as LB are not the cheapest, however, after securing the finances to pursue things, I was more comfortable to engage in the process.
Anne Lewis, and other members of the team, have at all times been brutally and refreshingly honest with me, I found at all times that the most direct, and logical, and ultimately least expensive route was taken to achieve milestones in the process of securing a Child Arrangements Order, taking the emotion out of the process and keeping all things focused on our child and an outcome reasonable for all.
I was most impressed in how Anne dealt with the non-molestation application made against me, which ultimately was withdrawn by the other party, with the goalposts moving on an almost daily basis in the run up to a hearing to defend myself against these allegations - Anne was reassuring, level headed, and eventually again a reasonable resolution was come to, under some trying circumstances from the other party's solicitor's.
Eventually a couple of months later, with attention now returned to my son again, Anne had hired a local Barrister to represent me at a hearing, and thankfully in this one session (albeit around 3 hours total), was able to agree a Child Arrangements Order, without a Judge/Magistrate needing to have an input. The agreement was well written and has been adhered to in the main by both parties, a level of flexibility has returned and communication is at a more beneficial level for all.

Efficient, knowledgeable and friendly approach at a difficult time
Anne Lewis of Lanyon Bowdler represented me in my matter of divorce. Anne was very knowledgeable, very friendly and approachable and was extremely efficient. At a time when emotions are bound to run high, Anne understood how I was feeling and was sympathetic and helped me to get through, what was for me, a veryfrustrating, upsetting and difficult time.
Anne was regularly in contact with me and always gave prompt responses. Anne’s secretary, Debbie Chatham, was also excellent and represents Anne very well and is also a credit to Lanyon Bowdler.
Very often, the public look upon solicitors as pompous and ‘stuffy’ but Anne Lewis is to the contrary and made the whole experience very personal and at times even entered into a little humour, which I really appreciated!
Whilst I hope I never have to go through something like this ever again, if I did, I would definitely use Anne Lewis in the future. I know Anne has a wealth of experience and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

The firm to trust!
Lanyon and Bowlder I highly recommend. My divorce was complicated and on my first consultation I was listened to, understood and respected by Anne.
My matter was further complicated by a custody battle and Anne referred me to Sue. I highly appreciated this referral as to this day I am also professional supported in my children’s custody battle.
Advice is straight to the point and very honest. Communication is a key element I look for and Anne was always responsive via email or a telephone call if needed.
My divorce was promptly resolved by Anne with the added bonus of no court proceedings.
I would like to thank Anne for my new found freedom and a brighter future.

Divorce proceedings
Anne had a measured and supportive application throughout a long and often tiresome process, allowing me the knowledge and comfort that my considerations were being applied professionally to a process beyond my comfort.
