Not all hero’s wear capes !

I am incredibly pleased with the outcome of my divorce proceedings through the support of Frances Lyndsey.
My team consisted of Manjit, Carol and Sheila who fought with me every step of the way, even when things were tough Manjit quickly got the issue resolved and completed on time. She was always organised, up to date and explained all the soliciter jargon in a meaningful and helpful way to ensure I was aligned throughout. Due to this I was able to complete my divorce in less time than initially anticipated which I am over joyed about. The knowledge, skill set and support you get with this firm is unmeasurable and I would highly highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal advice.

Manjit Bains one of the best family lawyers.

Manjit Bains was amazing during my divorce and finance litigation. Her clear cut and frankly down to earth advice was exactly what was needed. Her legal expertise is second to none and on point. Always proactive and ahead of the game. Whenever I thought there was no end in sight Manjit always encouraged me stay focused and positive. Litigation is a difficult process and emotions run high. Having the right family lawyer is paramount to success. Manjit was amazing throughout and I have my life back again! Thank you

Incredible client care

I cannot recommend Manjit highly enough. She provided clear, common sense, pragmatic guidance, steered us through a challenging family situation legally and her client care is outstanding. She was efficient and effective and clear and, whilst nobody wants to need a family lawyer, there is no one I would recommend more highly.

I have been supported by Stewart Henderson over the last year finalising the financial aspects of my divorce and getting my Absolute across the line. The level of service I have been provided throughout the process has been exceptional. I have received sound advice and guidance from the outset and have felt throughout that I have been listened to and my needs have been met.
I would highly recommend Stewart and the Frances Lindsay practice.

I first came across Frances Lindsay & Co during my child's third court proceedings. I started off with a solicitor, whom was recommended by a friend. However, from the beginning, I was not happy with their service. I searched on Google for family law solicitors. I had spoken to a few, they all spoke about money.

I saw Frances Lindsay and Co's number and called them. I spoke to the receptionist and asked to speak to a family law solicitor. This was to be turning point in my life!!

A solicitor called Stewart Henderson came on the phone and listened to my story. I had told him about my daughter and the case I was going through. My case was a very complicated one, he sat and listened to me for about 45 minutes asking a few questions along the way. This was the point I knew I wanted him to represent me as for the first time I felt like my voice was being heard.

He represented me for the next two years while my case was still going on, in a highly professional and caring manner. Which made me believe there was going to be only one outcome in these proceedings. Everything was completed on time of the highest standard, even when the other side were not doing what had been asked of them. Mr Henderson endeavoured to keep our standards to the pinnacle of professionalism. The entire time doing his best to keep my costs at a minimum. He understood my situation and my income and did not pressure me financially. He allowed me to pay when it was suitable for me.

I felt like Mr.Henderson really cared and we built a friendship over the past two years. I could go on and on giving praise to Mr Henderson, but to keep a long story short I won my case in the third proceeding of a 10 year long, complex custody battle. Which I know without Mr Hendersons help and support, I would not have been able to have been successful.

So, I highly recommend Frances Lindsay & Co to anybody who Is not just looking for a solicitor, but for a compassionate, caring and highly professional person.

Steward Henderson I want to thank you so much, you have made a little girl have a chance of a better future. And for this, I am forever grateful.

I have nothing but good things to say about Frances Lindsay & Co, especially solicitor/partner Stewart Henderson. My circumstances have been tough and challenging but Stewart has been nothing but understanding, kind and also incredibly thorough and professional. I have been kept informed with everything, at every stage of the process and have always been treated with respect and kindness. Would highly recommend.

I have had several dealings with Frances Lindsay & Co recently on both personal and business matters. Amanda, Karen, Stewart & Shirley have all been extremely helpful, thorough and efficient. We recently completed Power of Attorney for my parents where Amanda did a home visit to my parents due to my father's condition. Our experience with all of the team has been exceptional. They are very professional and take the time to explain everything in detail and are all very personable. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Frances Lindsay & Co. Thank you team for all of the assistance and support you have given to me, my family and the business.
