Financial Agreement (Property)

I looked up Anthony Clapp Solicitors which had good reviews and decided to get help with their expertise. My solicitor Mr James Heywood handled the whole complicated situation and left no stone unturned to achieve a very satisfactory outcome from a long standing financial issue I had. I would without doubt always go back to James in particular for any future legal assistance as his service was second to none. Very pleased.

Outstanding

The last few years have been incredibly stressful, but James Heywood has been a steady and reassuring presence throughout. His guidance, patience, and expertise made all the difference during what’s been the most challenging time of my life. James was always clear, calm, and supportive. He truly took the time to understand my situation and helped me navigate every step with confidence. I can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and compassionate family law solicitor

First Class Service

James is an excellent solicitor. His knowledge is first class and his calmness and pragmatism, made a difficult and drawn out (by the other side) process easier. James not only listens, he hears and when I received letters to approve, he managed to perfectly articulate my sentiments in a way that I never could. James is a realist and managed my expectations well, so that eventually we got the best result. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

In September 2021 I found myself in need of a solicitor,on recommendation I contacted the family law firm Antony Clapp Solicitors and a meeting was arranged at their Maidstone office, it was at this meeting I met Mr James Heywood, an experienced solicitor with many years to his credit and also to his credit he is a nice fella, very easy to talk with but absolutely professional in his field, I was married when I met him, I am now divorced and have achieved the outcome I wanted, all thanks to James. I would highly recommend this law firm and all of their staff Evey time. DT.
