Divorce experience

This review is to thank Pardoes for their recent services - initial informative sympathetic enquiry call with Taffy , thank you, and subsequent expert handling of my case with Mark Hood. Whilst not particularly complex, I found my divorce challenging and difficult for me. From the outset, Mark ensured that I understood every step clearly and concisely, explaining what to expect, including the expected costs, so there were no hidden surprises. Ever patient and listening to my concerns, Mark was always an email or call away with his prompt responses and reassuring replies. Mark was also sympathetic and supportive, conscious of my welfare throughout, which was invaluable to the end. Even simple things like easy car parking, friendly reception and offered coffees smoothed each visit to the office. So yes, ultimately the required outcome for me and on my experience, I can recommend Pardoes professional and caring services. Most grateful appreciation to Mark for his expertise and unwavering kindness throughout- thank you.

Review of Mark Hood

I was very pleased with the service I received from Mark. He was polite, efficient, and provided clear, pragmatic advice throughout. His knowledge of the Armed Forces pension scheme was particularly valuable and played a key role in helping me achieve a fair outcome during financial proceedings. I would not hesitate to recommend him

Divorce resolution.

Throughout my case at every step of the way Mark Hood was a knowledgable, approachable, understanding, and sometimes a counselling, expert. I still remember the first telephone where guidance on the divorce process was clear, and it turned out, totally accurate in terms of milestones and cost. The case played out a different way though and Mark’s dedication and understanding of my case was first rate. When needed Mark’s recommendation to dial in experts in the form of a lawyer and mortgage experts was excellent. I will never put myself in a situation where I will have to endure it all again but if I had to I would wholeheartedly choose Mark as my solicitor for my case.
