We’re so pleased to hear that your solicitor provided both professional guidance and a friendly, supportive presence, Matthew. It’s wonderful that you felt supported throughout every step of the process.
I can't thank Mel & her team enough, totally professional from start to finish, Mel's knowledge of family law is second to none, couldn't have picked a better legal representative to help me get the access i want to my Son. After nearly a 1 year slog, i can finally look to a positive future. Thanks again Mel & Team :)

Absolutely outstanding solicitor listened to every detail about my matter and was really commitment to helping me.. they took me in all the right directions to help me
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Melanie Butler for her excellent service, professionalism, and dedication throughout my family/Children court case. From the very beginning, Melanie was supportive, responsive, and genuinely committed to achieving a fair and positive outcome. Her communication was always clear and reassuring, and she guided me step-by-step through a very emotional and complex process. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and truly appreciate her hard work, patience, and empathy. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal representation.
We’re delighted Melanie could provide such dedicated and compassionate support throughout your family court case, Nabil. It’s wonderful to hear you felt guided and reassured every step of the way.
Melanie and Stephanie where the best solicitors anyone could ask for they helped me understand everything that was going on they also helped me keep on track off the things I needed to do by emailing me with a to do list and helped me keep on track off things. I feel like without the help off Melanie and Stephanie I would never off being taken off plo. So iv very grateful for there brilliant support they have given me and wish them both the very best future
I used Paul Watson to get custody of my daughter after having on off contact and eventually gained full custody of her after almost a year of trying Melanie Butler was the greatest thing since sliced bread and stood her ground during the whole process and got me the result me and everyone else thought was the correct result I highly recommend Mel and the whole Paul Watson team thank you so much 🫡

Brilliant service and representation from start to finish. Paul guided us through this difficult time. He was always on hand with a quick, clear, and considerate response to any questions or concerns we had. The support from Lauren and Mandy was much appreciated in achieving a positive and fair outcome. I would highly recommend this team of professionals.

From the first phone call everything was taken care of straight away. The legal advice and representation was excellent.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted that from the first phone call you felt everything was taken care of and that our legal advice and representation met your expectations.
If I could have given a TEN star review, it still wouldn’t have been enough. We simply cannot thank Ross enough for how he has helped my son through a horrible and stressful time. Ross genuinely cares. He not only has a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of criminal law, he is confident and professional when dealing with the police and the CP’s. Ross humbly convinced my son that it was not in his best interests to take the easy option, challenging the charges on his behalf and I’m delighted to say, Ross was right to do so. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Paul Watson solicitor’s. I thank our lucky stars that they were there for us when we needed them …
