I was assigned Yatin and Theo as my representatives for a prolonged case. Throughout they were both professional, re assuring and extremely knowledgeable. I had full confidence in these solicitors. Would highly recommend.
We secured Watkins Solicitors to produce a PAP letter for judicial review. The service was prompt, professional and ensured the local authority made a more timey decision about my child's EHCP.

Yatin and his team at Watkins supported me with settling child arrangements, including attending court. He grasped the situation immediately offering sound advice and support when I was at a personal low. He was excellent at communicating with me and articulating my position to the other party. Yatin was always focused on my child and their needs / welfare, putting things in place to ensure they were safe. I can not speak highly enough him and his team.

“I am pleased to report on my experience with Watkins Solicitors, who represented us in a recent Legal Aid–assisted Judicial Review claim against the Local Authority. From the beginning their manner was professional and reflected a genuine dedication to our matter. Their specialist expertise in SEND and Legal Aid issues was particularly impressive. Both current and former members of the firm handled the case’s complexities with considerable skill and persuasively advanced every point, which sustained our confidence in the prospects for a positive outcome throughout the proceedings. Watkins also demonstrated exemplary communication, keeping us informed at each stage and responding promptly to our enquiries and concerns. On several occasions they contacted us or replied outside normal working hours, which evidenced their genuine concern for our situation and commitment to achieving the best possible result. Ultimately, their persistence helped secure a favourable resolution that we believe would not have been attainable otherwise. I have no hesitation in recommending Watkins to anyone seeking comparable legal representation against a Local Authority; they are effective advocates and professional to work with.” John M.

Watkins solicitors and in particular Louise Price were excellent in every way. Louise was not only extremely knowledgeable and efficient but personable, kind and supportive throughout what was a difficult time.

: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Morgan French at Watkins Solicitors has been outstanding throughout the purchase of our first home. From the very beginning, Morgan was professional, responsive and always willing to answer our questions. He kept us informed at every stage of the conveyancing process and dealt with any issues quickly, ensuring everything stayed on track for our planned completion date. Buying your first home can be a stressful experience, but Morgan's communication, attention to detail and reassurance made the whole process much easier for both myself and my wife, Emma. We always felt that our purchase was in safe hands. Thanks to Morgan's hard work and dedication, we completed successfully and are now settling into our new home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Morgan and Watkins Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing solicitor. Thank you again for helping us make our dream of owning our first home a reality. Terry & Emma Franklin

Yatin is the encapsulation of the phrase "above and beyond." If you are looking for a solicitor that understands coercive control, domestic abuse and all of the associated patterns of behaviour, this is the solicitor and firm you should choose. His and his team's care, understanding and diligence throughout was exceptional and restored a lot of faith in our justice system. He takes the time to really understand your case and always acts in your best interests, explaining everything carefully along the way. I really cannot thank Yatin enough. I also really must mention Morgan, who assisted Yatin with my matter, for her extremely professional and dilligent work, and who, again, has a thorough understanding of domestic abuse dynamics, the law and the court system. They make a formidable team.

Ben, Yatin and the team were extremely helpful and supportive throughout my journey, at a time I felt awful and anxious, they all supported me and made me feel heard and comforted when I had awkward conversations/questions which were hard at times. I cannot fault them all at all and would definitely recommend to anyone in my situation! Thank you again team 😊

I cannot thank Cari Evans enough for the outstanding service she provided throughout the purchase of my first home. From the very beginning, Cari was professional, responsive, patient, and incredibly supportive. She explained every step of the conveyancing process clearly, answered all of my questions promptly, and always made me feel confident that everything was under control. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout the entire transaction. Thanks to Cari’s hard work, dedication, and attention to detail, the exchange of contracts went smoothly, and the whole process was handled efficiently and professionally. Buying a home can be stressful, but Cari made the experience much easier and reassuring. I would also like to thank everyone at Watkins Solicitors for their professionalism and excellent teamwork. I highly recommend Cari Evans and Watkins Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy solicitor. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them. Thank you once again for everything!
