Divorce & Financial Order

it gives me great pleasure in writing this review, i'm not a person that that would usually review but on this occasion i felt the need to pass on my gratitude to Richard and his team at Ratcliffes solicitors in Sittingbourne, this should have been a fairly straight forward case but certainly wasn't, the way in which Richard conducted himself, was very professional, understanding and extremely patient, i felt supported all the way through the process and although very frustrated at times he reassured me when i needed it most. i must also mention Mandy and her assistance, she again was extremely professional and supportive always striving to assist and going over and above wherever she could. once again i would like to thank the team and i would certainly recommend these guys to anyone needing an honest, caring, professional and experienced service.

From first meeting Emily and Richard we felt an instant confidence in them, and a full understanding of our requirements which is still ongoing... A friendly, professional practice and we will be using their services again.
