Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I have been qualified since 2000 and have specialised in family law for the whole of that time and for most of my training. Prior to qualifying, I worked in a totally different field, supervising an international customer services team. I have always had an interest in law and decided to follow that path and took my degree at the University of Kent. I was very much involved with the University's Law Clinic (and still advise at their evening clinics) which gave me an insight into many different areas of law and helped me decide that family law was where I wanted to specialise. My relationship with my clients is most important. There are often different emotions and I like to think that clients feel comfortable talking to me, that I understand and care about their issues. I give them clear and honest advice and that I support them through whatever process is appropriate. I work hard to achieve the best outcome for my clients. I am also a mum so I have particular empathy when it comes to child related issues.

Navigating A Divorce

I chose SpainWilliams to help with my divorce as they're a local firm with a strong reputation. From the first phone call with Alison, I knew I was in good hands. I had no idea about the legal process involved but Alison guided me through it step-by-step, simplifying what at first was complicated, and always looking out for my best interests. It was clear she has considerable family law experience, and her calm, level-headed demeanour made what was a difficult and stressful process easier to manage. My family and I owe Alison a considerable debt, and I'd recommend her without hesitation.

Excellent divorce solicitor

I chose Alison as my divorce solicitor because she was friendly and helpful from the very first telephone contact. Throughout a painful process, she remained calm, level-headed, direct, fair and supportive. She understood the provocations and tricks of the opposite side, and her sensible and competent approach avoided further complications. She was always respectful of both of us with always my best interests at heart. I was very grateful to have such a reliable, trustworthy person to deal with the divorce.

I used Spain Williams to help with a property ownership dispute. Alison Cook handled my case, and I’m glad she did. She had alot of knowledge on the subject, was very responsive to my concerns and questions, and was able to get me exactly the outcome that I wanted when we first discussed the matter. Would highly recommend Spain Williams, and Alison Cook.

I was lucky enough to stumble across Alison just when I needed her.I'd spent £250 for an introductory meeting with another firm, who gave me no more information than the CAB.My first meeting with Alison was free,she got straight to the point and followed up the meeting with an email outlining what we had discussed and guidance for the next steps.She dealt with my challenging ex brilliantly and kept me brave when I would've given in to the threats and let him win. Ultimatel, what separates Alison from the rest is that she is human.She is very approachable and honest with expectations, I do believe with a different solicitor I wouldn't have had such a great outcome.The office is based out of town with parking so is convenient to drop paperwork off.I can't recommend Alison highly enough she was efficient, conscientious and understanding.Don't hesitate to use her services.
