Excellent service from a top solicitor

I instructed Beresford quite late in the run up to a divorce related Court hearing. Not only did he make time for me amongst an already busy schedule he ensured I had everything ready and came into the hearing fully prepared. I have worked with countless solicitors both during my family and related proceedings and professionally over a period of 20 years. Beresford was by far the best solicitor I have worked with and provided excellent service. We had an outstanding victory in court which was largely due to the diligent work leading up to the day and the manner in which Beresford advocated for me in the hearing. With the best intention in mind I hope not to have need for a solicitor again however if I ever do I would instruct Beresford again in a heart beat Thank you for everything

I can't thank him enough...

Beresford was fantastic. He listened, was supportive, worked tirelessly, and used his considerable experience and ability, to help get me a result that I was delighted with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Beresford Kennedy - Family lawyer in Financial Settlement

I appointed Beresford to represent me in a complex financial settlement and divorce. There were multiple issues including wanton spending, deliberate concealing of assets, theft, dilution of marital wealth and many more. Berry listened and took my opinions on board. He was strategic in his approach and we achieved an out of court settlement in a timely manner. Throughout the process Berry always preempted what would happen next and as such we were well prepared to deal with many curveballs. He is articulate, speaks with conviction and writes more eloquently than most. In addition he provided emotional support at the most challenging times. I cannot recommend him enough. He was always available and he worked tirelessly to get a swift resolution. A seriously first class Lawyer.
