not what I expected!

Felt the solicitors did not know what /or how to deal with my issue at the beginning. Took them a while to sort this out and then left me waiting to find out from my finiancial adviser what the next step to make was which had delayed the receipt of my court order. They hadincorrectly named me on several occassions in documents.

Elaine and her team recently represented me during family court proceedings. I was extremely impressed with the professional and empathetic way they dealt with the various issues. In particular, I would like to thank Katie Parkes for her tenacity and patience. If anyone needs legal advice and support I would strongly recommend Elaine Parkes Solicitors every time.

I approached Elaine Parkes Solicitors for advice on seeking a divorce and have been reassured by the knowledge and support the teams breath of experience has offered. Elaine and her team are swift to objectivly give realistic guidance. This includes giving instant attention to safe guarding, this being especially reassuring when feeling vulnerable.

A patient, sensitive, insightful and conciliatory approach has paced the progress of my divorce enabling thoroughness hence raising my confidence for a reasonable outcome for myself and my children.
I feel Elaine has been free to allocate personalised time to the demanding needs of my particular divorce. Referral to include other professionals to add strength and thoroughness to the process has proven vital.

Elaine also practices encouraging sensitivity when considering the emotive subject of my complicated children’s needs.

I would highly recommend Elaine Parkes Solicitors.
