Financial Settlement advise following divorce

From start to finish speaking with Colette and Sam has been a wonderful experience. Great advise. Direct and honest, however with a good balance of compassion. I threw many curve balls and updates that were managed nicely with the right level of advice. What was a dire position has helped me steer to a great result. The nice little touches, and help have turned my life from what looked like a disaster l to a more positive future. Thanks so much guys!!

Divorce Settlement

Colette was amazing from start to end, I was recommended her by my mediator and she was excellent. Her advice was clear, fair and always explained well, the work she put in in the build up to my FDR hearing was faultless. Her recommendation for a Barrister was also excellent, and I’m certain that I wouldn’t have had the outcome I did without Colette’s work putting together all the documents for court. Hopefully I’m never in the position of needing her services again, but if I am I wouldn’t hesitate to instruct her.

Family Law Advice - Colette Blackburn, DTM Legal

I recently sought advice from Colette Blackburn at DTM Legal regarding a family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first interaction, it was clear that I was in expert hands. Colette handled my case with a perfect balance of professional detachment and genuine compassion, which made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. She has a remarkable ability to break down complex legal jargon into actionable, straightforward advice. The level of responsiveness was outstanding. I was kept updated throughout the process, and no query was ever treated as too small. If you are looking for a family law solicitor who is not only technically excellent but also deeply supportive and approachable, Colette is the person to see.

Probabte Conveyancing

When our mother died, she left an estate of 8 rental properties as well as her own home. The disposal of this estate has taken over 2 years, and was difficult because the executors had no prior knowledge of the properties. We were very fortunate to have Soraya and her team as our conveyancers. DTM are responsive, supportive and professional, and gave us excellent advice throughout a challenging time. I would recommend them highly.

DTM Legal selling and buying a house

DTM Legal working on my behalf

I sold my house and bought my leasehold property with the legal help of DTM. Communication was all by email unless I made contact with them. I’ve never had experience of this before and while I accept that it is probably more efficient I felt I would have liked more personal contact even if it had just been an introductory phone call. Efficiency wise everything went smoothly. I think the leasehold aspect caused the lengthy time involved. Maybe that could have been explained at the outset. The staff I did occasionally have cause to speak with were very friendly and helpful. The financial side was very acceptable and should the need ever occur I would use them again

Thank you for the kind review; it has been passed along to our Residential Property team as well as our client services department.

A challenging time made easier

Emily acted on behalf of my mum and stepdad in a recent move. Some things were a little complicated and I was not familiar with all of the processes but we felt completely reassured that we were in safe and capable hands. Emily kept in touch throughout, was available when we needed advice and answered my many questions with patience and understanding. Chloe was also on hand to help. We couldn’t have asked for better support.

I would highly recommend DTM Legal. Our whole process from selling our home to buying a new home was very good. I would like to especially thank Jamie-Lea who went above and beyond throughout both our process. Very patience, kind, knowledgeable and understanding throughout such a stressful period. Thank you also to Siobhan Beattie who assisted us throughout. Emails and phone calls was answered promptly from them both. Thank you.

Great experience with DTM Legal when buying and selling. They worked quickly to complete my purchase within six weeks. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was a couple of unnecessary or incorrect charges on my completion statement, which I had to flag myself. Otherwise, communication was great - special thanks to Michele, Jamie Lea, and Casey for their excellent service.
