A big thanks

A wonderful family friendly company. My sister used them for her divorce and financial settlement. It was such a long and involved situation due to the other party's behaviour, however everything was dealt with in a very professional but caring way.
Michelle and her team have been amazing throughout, keeping us up to date at all times, chasing the other side or court if needed and keeping a check on our finances.
The team are all approachable, kind and caring and we would definitely recommend them. Thank you

Child custody case

I was pleased Michelle was on my side, as she helped navigate me through a very acrimonious dispute about child-care.
Michelle always appeared to be ahead of the opposing legal team, and presented my case in a good light. Ultimately it was having Michelle on my side that swayed a tightly fought contest my way. Thank you - I'd recommend you to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in the position I was.

Stay Away From This Unprofessional Company

Completely disgraceful - DO NOT USE. The worst solicitor I've ever dealt with. I can't believe they claim to be qualified solicitors.

Just interested in making the maximum amount of money & exploiting people. The owner Michelle is a liar and has been completely useless, in all my dealings with her.

Very poor values and a firm that doesn't do the right thing for people. Very sad to see.

Stay far away from this firm!

The most awful law firm in Britain

They almost ruined my life and lied to me and messed me around. They apologised and said they would not charge me the fee, but did anyway. I notice they only have three reviews which are all good. My review will be reposted everywhere possible as an image. I have posted against them before and all the bad reviews have been removed, don't believe these charlatans.

noelgarside @ gmail . com if you want any proof of their terribleness.

Probate Application

Michelle and her team carried out our wishes with true professionalism and empathy and gave us good advice when we needed it. They handled the other solicitors involved in the probate/will caveat and the Probate Registry with a firm hand and kept us fully involved at all times. We could not have asked for anything better. The process took longer than we expected due to the delays introduced by the third party but this was never a problem. We had the warm feeling that the team were always well briefed even after some delays.

Divorce

Fantastic Service !
Clients of Davidson-Smith will experience a personal, no nonsense and robust defense of their position within the divorce. In my experience, Michelle's strongest attribute is being able to understand the crux of the case very quickly. Michelle was able to sift out all the information that was irrelevant and really get to grips with the facts that underpin the case. This was done, with empathy and care.

I arrived at the offices of Davidson-Smith 2015, a somewhat broken individual after successfully fending off numerous false allegations. I badly needed a divorce for peace of mind, but knew this would not be an easy undertaking and had no fight left in me. Michelle help me to regain control of my life. This commenced with setting out my position in the strongest possible terms. A course of action was also planned, as well as counter measures that could be used, if the other party, decided to be difficult.
My divorce was by no stretch of the imagination an easy case. I felt the divorce was expensive, however this had nothing to do with the charges I received. This was due to the erratic behavior of the other party, which turned what should have been a simple case of a couple months, into protracted divorce of over 1 year

In short Michelle and her team (which were always available for advice) achieved the best possible outcome and by far exceeded my expectations. They planned for all situations, and if, or when they occurred, never left me dancing to anyone else's tune.

I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Divorce

2013 I arrived in the solicitors, homeless with two small children. For the past three years I have managed to get my home back and in my name. A marvellous contact order and divorced. Michelle was always honest with the costs and so understanding. She kept my costs down by being sensible, whilst my ex husband would send countless ridiculous letters from a large corporate solicitors firm, Michelle wouldn't reply if they we're totally pointless and would tell me so. Hence no letters fired back but kept price down. Many incidents happened over the years and being given her personal mobile numbrt was such a reassurance. Marvellous service and would recommend her over and over again.
