A calm and caring team

I found myself having to appear in court with only two days to find a solicitor who could help. Jonathan represented me in court and the outcome was far better than what the opposing side had hoped for. Due to the opposing side prolonging the process I had to attend court again, but Jonathan gave me the tools and confidence to get through it resulting in a good outcome. Jonathan oversaw documentation which will give myself and my children security moving forward. Jonathan and Henna were always on hand to give advice and always approached my concerns and worries with an empathetic ear and sometimes a pep talk at my lowest points. When I was receiving unprofessional emails directly from the opposing solicitor or intimidating messages they offered advice on how to respond. Your attention to detail and clearly setting out what outcomes could be achieved meant I had the full picture to make decisions. I would also like to mention Jo and Sally who always answered the phone with a calming tone which would immediately give me the confidence that I wasn't alone in this and that I was in safe hands. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me, over the past couple of years, this stomach churning, anxiety provoking, stressful time was made easier knowing you were there to ensure this episode in my life would come to its conclusion. We are finally there, thank you and all the best.

power team!

I worked with the Family Law Group for just over 3 years on a case for my mum. Jonathan Corbishley was professional and very knowledgeable throughout. Henna Aietan handled most of our contact and was exceptional. She was reassuring, knew every detail of the case, gave clear advice, and attended court with us which was a huge help during a difficult time. They are the ULTIMATE POWER TEAM. We achieved exactly the outcome we hoped for, and I strongly recommend them both.

Family law group

I worked with Family Law Group for just over two years during my family law case. I was formally represented by Jonathan Corbishley, who was professional throughout and demonstrated excellent knowledge of family law. Most of my contact was with Henna Aietan, who was outstanding. Although the process was stressful at times, Henna was consistently reassuring, knew my case inside out, provided clear and practical advice, and attended court hearings with me, which gave me a great deal of confidence. We achieved exactly the results I asked for, and I would highly recommend both Jonathan Corbishley and Henna Aietan to anyone dealing with family law matters.

Truly grateful for the support and guidance

I had a very positive experience with Family Law Group. The support, professionalism, and guidance I received throughout my family court case were truly outstanding. This was a very emotional and stressful time for me, but the team made me feel heard, supported, and reassured every step of the way. Rebecca was especially amazing. She provided me with so much emotional support, often taking the time to speak with me on the phone and reassure me when I felt overwhelmed. Her kindness and patience meant so much to me. I am also very grateful to Aimee Booth, Katie Bithel, Tony Wood and Jonathan Corbishley, and the rest of the team. I truly appreciate all the hard work and care that went into my case. I am very thankful for everything they have done for me and my children, and I would highly recommend Family Law Group to anyone needing family law support.

After a prolonged divorce case that ended up running for a number of years my details was passed over to Johnathan Corbishley and his paralegal Henna Aietan. I have been constantly impressed with the service I received especially communication, advice and guidance from Henna. With her help my case was resolved in a timely manner with limited fuss, a credit to the industry.

I had the absolute luck of being recommended Family law group Derby. I had yet another great stroke of luck of being assigned Jonathan, Henna and the rest of the team. Jonathan was frankly a life saver- he was fair and balanced, he was knowledgeable without fault in every aspect of what we needed, and frankly delivered on every account. He would work and contact me at every hour, and put himself out to assist, acting as a friend, mediator, advisor- you name it, he did it. The end result was everything I wanted- and I have no doubt it was thanks to Jonny and the team. side note- we also used the inhouse barrister Tony Woods. HE was Brilliant and delivered in a spectacular manner, I couldn't recommend him enough. Would absolutely recommend to anybody who requires any sort of legal advice... Its a horrible time, Jonny and the team provided a much needed light, and were absolutely perfect.
