Highly recommend
Lisa (and her supporting team) helped me navigate an acrimonious divorce with efficiency and great compassion, securing a financial settlement for me and my children. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone who may find themselves in the difficult position of needing of a divorce solicitor.

Buyer beware
Lisa was superb. I have put off submitting a review so as to give plenty of time for reflection. My one cause for feeling aggrieved was the “all inclusive” package. I would encourage seeking complete clarity as I was clearly naive to take that at face value. In fact I appeared to pay for all contacts about my divorce which quickly accrued a large sum. Buyer beware!

Response to divorce petition and settlement
A very unpleasant divorce petition and challenges agreeing what a fair settlement might look like
was swiftly addressed; tensions were professionally managed by applying legal process to
resolve toxic situation in less than 12-months. Total spent on legal input was the best investment I
could have made to secure my future and I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa Dawson
from Ellison's Colchester - she saved my sanity!

Excellent service from the Family Department
Lisa and her team made an exceptionally difficult time bearable. The efforts of Ellison's ensured my son has access to his father, which would not have been possible otherwise.
The team are friendly and supportive and ensured my matter was dealt with professionally and with compassion.

Amazing service
I was going through a lot and a really tricky divorce. Unfortunately I felt I wasn’t getting anywhere with my previous solicitors. I was recommended Ellison and they were willing to handle my case even though I’m not local. Straight away I felt things started moving forward and despite lots of obstacles on the way. They overcame and I am now able to move on with my life and have a fresh start for my children and I. Thank you so much.

Matrimonial/Financial Resolution
I found the company to be excellent during the process. Direct contact with my Solicitor certainly helped. Lisa strove towards resolutions the matters to handle opposed to confrontational approach from the other parties solicitors. I used Ellisons on recommendation of a friend and I would certainly use them again if required.

Lisa Dawson Ellison's Excellent
Lisa Dawson of Ellison's Colchester took over my case from a retiring solicitor and she has been excellent from start to finish. Her approach was friendly and understanding and her advice was excellent. I felt at ease when asking questions and advice on the what to do. I felt she really did care about my situation and got the best outcome.
I cannot recommend her enough. Excellent service and from staff at Ellison's.

Consummate professional and very supportive
From start to finish I was guided and supported through the exceptional traumatic experience of a custody dispute, the support I received was critical to both my case and my wellbeing.
Lisa and her team helped me understand each step and provided a huge amount of support. A great sense of humour also ensured that the sharp edges of the process were rounded off, which ultimately enabled me to continue to fight for the right outcome.
I will never be able to thank Ellison’s and more specifically Lisa enough for what they achieved for my son and I through their hard work, attention to detail and patience.
