“A Solicitor I Will Always Be Grateful For”

I cannot recommend Kelly Dobson highly enough. Kelly has represented me for the past seven years in private family law matters and issues relating to domestic abuse, and throughout what has been an incredibly difficult and challenging period of my life, she has been there to support, advise and represent me. Kelly has always treated me with compassion, understanding and respect, while also being extremely knowledgeable, professional and determined in fighting for the best possible outcome for me and my children. She has listened to me when I have felt overwhelmed, explained things clearly when I didn’t understand them, and has always made me feel that my voice was being heard. Seven years is a long time, and Kelly has supported me through some extremely difficult circumstances. Her dedication, patience and commitment have meant more to me than I can put into words. I have always felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and wasn’t simply treating me as another case. Family law and domestic abuse cases can be incredibly daunting and emotionally exhausting, but having Kelly in my corner made me feel much less alone. I have trusted her completely and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to anyone who finds themselves needing a solicitor in similar circumstances. Thank you, Kelly, for everything you have done for me over the years. I will always be incredibly grateful for your support, professionalism and the way you have fought for me and my children.

i used Hewitt's in Stockton to resolve my divorce. in 4 month of being there customer ive had 3 different solicitors because they all keep leaving the frim. ive been asked the same questions over and over again and been charged for the communications each time. i was told when i instructed them that £200 a month would cover the fees roughly and in 4 months they have had over £2000 and are now demanding another £500 on top off the £200 monthly payments. ive verbally in person raised a complaint and in writing and a week later i am now having to chase that complaint up as ive not had a single piece off communication from them. ive been waiting 4 weeks for them to phone me and arrange a meeting to discuss financial discloser and not had a thing back. ive asked for this to be rectified several times and nothing at the minuet i really cant recommend them to anyone

Kelly has been professional, friendly, helpful and hard working on this complex case, even though it was not concluded. I could not have ask for a better person. I am so grateful to the person on reception at the Newton Aycliffe Office who put me through to another solicitor for initial query of representing me.
