Divorce

David listened to me .my divorce wasnt about money ,i changed to David from Stowe after a bill of 90k..without even progress beyond data gathering, all the while my controlling abusive ex would not leave me alone. I went to David he remembered me from 10 years ago when i attended the law firm trying to get out of my awful marriage. David listened to what i wanted and how important it was for me to get divorced asap. Im now divorced feeling free happy and living my best life at 50!

Excellent practice

I used this practice for a very acrimonious divorce and I truly cannot fault them for their professional and yet kind attention to this process.

Very professional service

Wendy Hopkins Law helped me though my recent divorce. they listened to my points of view and were able to give sound professional advice throughout. Sometimes the advice was not what I wanted to hear but that was a good thing as they are experts in their field and their experience is invaluable in determining the right approach to problems as you go through the process.

Exceptional service and support throughout my divorce, David and his team were fantastic. He made a very difficult process, extremely easy to understand and managed the entire procedure with professionalism and empathy making the journey as comfortable as it could be and secured the best possible outcome. Highly recommend to anyone navigating a similar situation.

David James and his team all helped make an unpleasant divorce process somehow more bearable. His professionalism,and polite but persistent firm approach when dealing with other involved parties was excellent. I felt totally supported and was always able to contact him or a member of his team. I cannot recommend Wendy Hopkins family law firm and David more highly.
