    A constant source of wisdom and pragmatism.

    I have worked with Helen Handley for over a year on quite a complicated and delicate family situation. Helen was excellent throughout and provided an absolute first class service. She provided great advice and sensible suggestions at all stages whilst also remaining firm on what my legal rights were. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone.

    I cannot recommend Helen at the Exeter office highly enough for anyone going through the difficult process of divorce. From start to finish, she was professional, calm, and completely focused on the facts — exactly what you need during such an emotionally charged time. What stood out most was her ability to keep the process grounded and rational. She cut through the noise, focused on what mattered legally, and never allowed emotions to cloud the advice she gave. That approach made an incredibly stressful experience feel far more manageable. If you want a solicitor who will advocate for you clearly and effectively while keeping a cool head throughout, Helen is exactly who you need. I’m truly grateful for her support.

    Highly Recommended – Exceptional Service During a Difficult Time I recently used Wollens Solicitors for the financial aspects of my divorce, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From the very first contact, the team was responsive and professional. My solicitor, Helen Handley, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She took my case on at the drop of a hat and went above and beyond to support me throughout the entire process. Helen was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring at a time when everything felt overwhelming. She could not have done more to help me, always keeping me informed and fighting hard to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to Helen and the team at Wollens, I felt genuinely supported and confident that my financial matters were in the very best hands. I would highly recommend Wollens Solicitors — and Helen Handley in particular — to anyone going through a divorce or needing expert family law advice. Thank you, Helen!
