Shelley wells was fantastic in assisting me with my divorce. She knew exactly what advise I needed and when. She always went that extra mile as without her I wouldn't have know where to turn. I would highly recommend Shelley and her team and would never go anywhere else now for legal representation or advise. Thornton and Jones are certainly the best Solicitors by far

I received the most professional and excellent service through divorce proceedings that was for a 2 year period. The service I received from Shelley Wales and her team at Wakefield was exceptional and it enabled me to make informed decisions at critical times.
I am very grateful for all the advice , support and knowledge that was delivered in a timely
accurate way. I would fully recommend the team! A big THANK YOU from me.

Thank you so much shelley for everything you have done in helping me through the most difficult period of times. I cannot express my gratitude enough, from start to finish you dealt with my case professionally and sympathetically ensuring a fair outcome. You kept me informed regularly and returned all calls and emails promptly!
You came across as much more than just doing your job, you showed understanding and empathy at such a difficult time which was much appreciated.

Divorce
Had the lovely Shelley Wales helping me through my tough divorce, couldn't have asked for a more helpful and caring person. Helped me out a lot from start to finish. Can't thank her enough for all that she's done for me.

Shelly Wales, The best family law solicitor ever.
I have met a few solicitors but none as professional as Shelly. She is extremely approachable and every time she’s dealt with my concerns I was reassured that I was in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough.

Child custody issues
Shelley and her team were very efficient and active in assisting with my case.
Unfortunately the court process is slow and outdated leading to inadequate hearings where issues raised never got resolved despite fees being paid to courts in relation to the problem.
The final hearing was a complete waste of money to of

Supportive, Friendly, service
27 years of marrige saw me going to the solicitors a broken woman with no self-esteem. Shelly Wales, Stacey Higgs, Liz and the reception team, helped and guided me through a difficult divorce. A kind word, no judgements and frank conersations got me through the difficult and sometimes unpleasant moments that I was enduring. I would highly reccomend Shelly's services to help you through the process of divorce and financial settlements.
