I cannot recommend Rebecca Proctor highly enough for the way she handled the financial matters relating to my divorce. From the outset, Rebecca took the time to explain the process to me clearly, what to expect and the potential outcomes. This gave me a real understanding of where I stood and what could happen, which was incredibly reassuring during such an uncertain time. It was an incredibly difficult period for me, particularly as I was also dealing with the loss of my brother, and there were times when I simply needed someone I could trust to take care of things for me. Rebecca gave me that reassurance. Throughout the process, I felt supported, listened to and in very safe hands. I never knew whether the financial matters would become more complicated or escalate, so I really valued Rebecca’s straightforward, strong and professional approach. She gave me clear advice and supported me in making decisions, while always making sure I understood what was happening. Rebecca was also incredibly sympathetic to my personal circumstances and understood that this was about much more than just the finances. She kept me updated throughout the process and dealt with matters efficiently, allowing me to step back and know that everything was being handled. Jess, who is part of Rebecca’s team, was also fantastic and I’m very grateful for the support she provided. I am genuinely so grateful to Rebecca and Jess for everything they did for me during what was an extremely difficult period of my life. Having someone knowledgeable, strong, straightforward and compassionate handling the financial side of my divorce made such a difference. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone going through a divorce and needing someone they can genuinely trust to handle their financial matters professionally, efficiently and with understanding.

I honestly cannot put into words how incredible Rachel and Ilke have been throughout what has been, without a doubt, one of the most difficult and emotionally devastating periods of my life. From the very beginning, they treated me with compassion, kindness and genuine understanding. They never made me feel judged, dismissed or like I was just another case. They listened to me, even when I was overwhelmed by emotion, struggling to find the right words or simply couldn’t keep myself together. They were incredibly patient with me and always gave me the time and space I needed. Their professionalism and knowledge were exceptional, but what made them truly stand out was the humanity they showed me. They understood how frightening and heartbreaking the situation was for me, and they consistently made me feel heard, supported and believed in. They explained things clearly, answered my endless questions and were there to guide me through every step of an incredibly complicated and frightening court process. Rachel and Ilke went above and beyond what I could ever have expected from my legal team. I never felt like I was facing everything alone. Their compassion, dedication, patience and unwavering support meant more to me than they will probably ever realise. There were moments when my emotions were incredibly strong, but they never made me feel like I was “too much”. They met me with patience and kindness every single time. That is something I will never forget. I genuinely could not have asked for two better people to have beside me during such a horrendous chapter of my life. Rachel is not only an exceptional solicitor, but a compassionate, caring and genuinely wonderful human beings. And likewise for Ilke. I will forever be grateful for everything they have done for me and my family. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Five stars really don’t feel like enough. Without them, I do believe that my daughter would not have been returned home.

I genuinely cannot recommend Deborah highly enough. She represented me through what was an extremely difficult, complicated and, at times, emotionally exhausting divorce, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better in my corner. From the outset, Deborah was exceptionally knowledgeable, pragmatic and completely straight with me. She never told me what she thought I wanted to hear; she told me what I needed to know, explained my options clearly and kept the focus firmly on achieving the best possible outcome for me and my future. What I particularly appreciated was her ability to cut through the emotion and noise surrounding a difficult divorce and see the bigger picture. There were inevitably moments when I found the process overwhelming, but I always trusted Deborah’s judgement and knew that she was protecting my interests. The settlement ultimately gave me the financial security and independence I needed to close this chapter of my life and move forward, and I am enormously grateful to Deborah for the part she played in achieving that. She is an exceptional family solicitor and I would recommend her without hesitation.

I would highly recommend Abigail Roode at Woollens Solicitors. She represented me during a very difficult time involving matters concerning my son, and I’m extremely grateful for all the support, advice and guidance she gave me throughout the process. Abigail was professional, understanding and approachable during what was a very stressful and emotional period for me. She took my situation seriously and helped me navigate a difficult time when having the right person in your corner really matters. I truly appreciate the work she put into my case and the support she provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abigail and Woollens Solicitors to anyone who needs help with family law matters. Thank you for everything, Abigail.

Abbie was an absolute star throughout my divorce. During what was inevitably a stressful and sometimes overwhelming process, she was consistently efficient, responsive, patient and incredibly kind. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble and I always knew that if I contacted her, things would be dealt with. What really stood out was the combination of professionalism and genuine warmth. Abbie understood that behind all the paperwork and legal correspondence was someone going through a very difficult period of their life, and that human touch made an enormous difference to me. She was calm when I wasn’t, reassuring when I needed it and incredibly dependable throughout. Having Abbie there alongside Deborah made me feel that I had a team genuinely looking after me rather than simply handling a case. I am hugely grateful for everything she did for me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Sarah Rowles has been absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase, and I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. We were kept informed at every step of the way, and any emails or queries we had were always responded to promptly. Sarah was incredibly efficient, professional and understanding throughout the whole process, and she was always happy to answer any questions we had. We are so grateful for all her help and support in making our first house purchase as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you Sarah for such an excellent service!
Preparation of our wills and LPAs was initially daunting. However, Charlotte McGregor, Partner at Wollens in Exeter, made the entire process incredibly straightforward from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, and attention to detail have been exceptional, and she ensured everything was completed promptly and with minimal fuss. We couldn’t have asked for a better service and would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte and the team at Wollens.

I and my father before me have used Wollens for many years and I continue to use their services because I know from past experience that I could not find a better firm. More recently Wollens have acted for me to sell the family business. A very long haul which was made bearable by Hebe who has been amazing to work with, very patient with me and a superb solicitor. Thank you Hebe, thank you Wollens.

Megan made buying our first home as seamless and stress-free as possible! She worked tirelessly to ensure that the process moved along quickly and constantly kept us updated throughout with clear communication. We highly recommend anyone looking to move house to get in touch with Megan and Wollens. Our offer being accepted through to getting our keys took less than 2 months, which was all down to the hard work put in by our lovely solicitor.
