Good Service From All at Wollens Solicitors

Wollens proved to be invaluable during a very sad time. Without their professionalism, it would have been very difficult to get through the probate of my late mother in law. I cannot fault all the solicitors & staff at Wollens.

We used Woollens to advise us on drafting wills that required trusts and we could not have been more delighted. Christopher Linton, the partner specialising in wills, spent a really long time at our initial meeting explaining everything to us, all at no cost and that in itself, helped us to make the decision!

Commercial Property

Commercial lease renewal

Emma has been most supportive with the renewal of our commercial lease spanning the next 2 decades with our landlords entering 100 years of a joint partnership. It was really important to secure terms that would enable us to continue to invest and prosper as a family business which Emma fully understood and ensured was the main driver. This is the first time we have worked together and I would not hesitate to use or recommend her services to others. Thank you.

Family Law

NAI children returning

Rachel helped me and my children when my children were removed due to NAI. Although we had a pool finding Rachel suggested to the court the resolutions assessment which led to the LA conducting a risk assessment of myself and I am now looking to work with a local family team and my children will be returned. Without Rachel and Ilke this would never be possible, their expertise are out of this world and nothing has ever been too much for either of them. Whether that is answering phone calls early morning to me panicking or emailing me back late nights on weekends to reassure me. Rachel has listened to every worry I have (and there’s been a lot) and reassured me time and time again. I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done for my family. They are truly amazing at what they do, they have saved my family. Thank you Rachel from the bottom of my heart!

Emma Reed has been fantastic in supporting our company that has been in business for 100 years to secure our future in the renewal of a 20 year lease. It was important to not only secure the lease but demonstrate our commitment to the property which Emma pitched exactly correct ensuring both parties came out with the best deal and partnership possible. This is the first time I have used her services and would not hesitate to use the again.

Let me say after taking out legal action against my former employer I contacted woollens to represent me in my legal battle. I was guided towards Jon Dunkley who is woollens specialist employment solicitor. Jon started proceedings against my employer and guided me through the process and kept me in the loop at all times. My case was taken to employment tribunal to which I won due Jon’s hard work. I can’t thank him and woollens enough and as they have solicitors for all legal requirements I know we’re I will be going if am unfortunate enough to need representation going forward. Thanks again Jon.
