Excellent Service dealing with completing Divorce

I had a positive experience while negotiating finances And completing my divorce. I was made to feel at ease during a very stressful time. I felt Meril was very professional, had great knowledge of the process and the law. Everything was explained in an understandable manner. I feel we had a good rapport and kept me well informed and updated. I feel I was represented well and delivered a satisfactory outcome.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so pleased to hear that Meril provided you with such professional and supportive guidance during what we appreciate can be a very challenging time. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Meril.

A huge thank you to the team in Gillingham, who worked together to support me and my family, and to help us get the best outcome for my daughter. I felt heard, listened to, and a surge of confidence.

I want to sincerely thank Farnfields Solicitors and in particular Meril George for her outstanding support during my divorce and financial settlement. From the very beginning, Meril was clear, kind, and professional, guiding me through what was an emotionally and practically difficult process. She explained each step carefully, always responded promptly to my questions, and made sure I understood my options. Her advice was firm where needed, but always given with empathy and patience. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, my financial matters have now been concluded fairly and efficiently, giving me peace of mind and the ability to move forward. I am deeply grateful for her work and would not hesitate to recommend Meril and Farnfields to anyone needing family law support.

Kate Brown at Farnfields could not have been more helpful. I had so many questions and doubts throughout the divorce process I was concerned about pushing up the cost unnecessarily with every email, but not every communication was charged to my account. Kate was very clear and supportive every step of the way, and dealt with all the issues sensitively and professionally. Thank you Kate! .

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're so pleased to hear that Kate was able to support you with such care and professionalism throughout your divorce. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Kate. Thank you again, and we wish you all the very best for the future.

I contacted farnfield for change of name. As I didn't have a surname in my Indian passport but I have full name in my given name space and when I got my british passport I have surname but no first name. So I wanted to sort this out by seperating my first name and surname. When I explained everything Meril George helped me with my whole process. She explained everything very well. Now I got my new passport with first name and surname separately.I'm happy with the service they provided. Thanks Meril for your help.

Excellent and compassionate service

Farnfields of Shaftesbury acted as the Executors of my late mother's will. During a very emotional and difficult period, Farnfields worked extremely hard to relieve my sister and I of any stress, whilst being very professional and, above all, kind and compassionate. They also acted as conveyancers in the sale of mum's house, again a very sad time. The sale went through smoothly with no issues at all. I cannot speak highly enough of Farnfields and unreservedly recommend their services.
