Excellent service

I cannot recommend Lucy Vickers highly enough. Watching a close friend go through a deeply stressful family court procedure was incredibly tough, but having Lucy in their corner changed everything.From start to finish, Lucy has been absolutely amazing. She did not just handle the legalities; she truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional support, clarity, and reassurance during an emotional and complex time. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care shone through at every single stage of the process.If you need a family law solicitor who is fiercely competent, deeply compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile for her clients, Lucy Vickers is the person you want representing you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your recommendation!

Very Good Service

I used Ben for his family law services to get my divorce. Ben was great but he was very very busy. This led to some delays in answers or my need to chase. But I cannot fault the work he did. Or that of his secretary.

I am so grateful to have been guided and supported by Ben Bradshaw and his barristers. He has been there through all the tough times I faced in court and during the proceedings. He has provided all kinds of support a person needs during court proceedings. And the proceedings ended in my favour and I owe this victory to Ben and all the barristers that supported me in court. 100% satisfied!

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Emily and her team (Phoebe). She helped us with both the sale of our plot and our remortgage, and throughout the whole process she was incredibly helpful, professional and easy to communicate with. There were a few complications along the way, particularly with our previous lender, Vida, but Emily went above and beyond to communicate with everyone involved, deal with the issues and ultimately help us get out of a very difficult situation. Her persistence, attention to detail and willingness to keep pushing things forward made a huge difference. Buying, selling and remortgaging can be stressful, but having someone like Emily on your side makes the whole experience so much easier. We always felt that she genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us and that she was willing to put in the extra effort when it was needed. A massive thank you to Emily for all her hard work and for getting everything over the line. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her and would definitely use her again in the future.

I I would like to say a huge thank you to Rebecca and the whole team at Stephen Rimmer. I had been recommended them by family and friends and I am pleased to say they were superb. As first time buyers, the prospect of buying a house can be very daunting. I am pleased to say that Rebecca and her team were 1st class in every department. Rebecca immediately left an impression immediately when she offered to personally drop off some documents to our home during a busy period. While things like this are small, they are noticed and always remembered. It's details like these that set Rebecca and the service Stephen Rimmer provide apart from the rest. Not only were they friendly, knowledgeable and prompt but they also showed a genuine interest in the process and never left us feeling we needed to chase for anything. The communication between themselves, us and the estate agents was perfect. In every instance, whenever a question needed answering they were back within the hour. A true credit to them. They have been superb and we will always remember what a huge role they played in ensuring that such a significant event in our lives was completely stress free. Jamie and Emily
