Legal Documents for Abroad Wedding

Ann McCabe and her colleagues went over and above what was expected when completing statutory declarations for our abroad wedding. The first version was incorrect due to an oversight on our part, this was promptly corrected and the documents re-issued without any additional cost. Extremely professional service, highly recommended.

Awful experience, very unprofessional!

I could write a whole essay on the diabolical service I received from this law firm. Made serval mistakes from the get go, which delayed what I was hoping to achieve. When I emailed the head of firm Ann McCabe, she was rude, had no idea what she was talking about. I was trying to delay a sale as myself and my two children were facing homelessness due to the negligence of the child’s father. Ann wrote to me to say they did everything they could to make sure sale happend as quickly and smoothly as they could!? Absolutely Absurd, that she wasn’t even aware this was the exact opposite of my intensions. I was also made aware that “Sarah Longley” who was dealing with my case, was friends with my ex partners auntie who was acting behind closed doors on his behalf, this and the fact they were apparently “making the sale go through as quick as possible” makes me believe they worked against me. It was all back handed and very unprofessional. Ann McCabe was so unprofessional, no sympathy & compassion whatsoever, same goes for “Sarah Longley” who quite frankly had no idea what she was doing. I was invited for a meeting which I never ended up going, as I knew all that would happen would be spoken to like something beneath there shoe, with all there jargon. Please avoid! No doubt she will be trying to get this review down like she did to my mothers.

Myself and my wife received a first rate service from Ann and Emma with advice and drawing up a mirror will.
From first visit we were given great advice, clearly explained.
I can highly recommend the service which is conveniently situated in Newcastle-under Lyme.
We also found the cost very competitive, and the staff welcoming friendly and efficient.

Following a break down in my marriage i was put in contact with Sarah. She was very calm, professional, gave clear advice and helped to resolve my divorce, settlement and child arrangements. All with a positive outcome. I trusted Sarah from the beginning and i knew i had found the right person to help me.

Adele was fantastic when we sold my fathers property. She kept us in the loop every step of the way. She helped with all the paperwork that we needed to fill in. I would recommend Adele, and would use Ann McCabe in the future.

Gave my ex wife (McCabe represented her) disastrous advice costing her in excess of £10k and me in excess of £15k to defend. (As the defendant I WON HANDS DOWN on the day although only the Solicitors win long term). McCabe was out of her depth but rather than resign kept burning fees. Then went on to wanting to charge £50 for a signature on a property transfer doc. Professes to be a devout Cristian yet her approach and handling of the divorce was anything but Christian. 🙈🙈
