Chelmsford

We will always be eternally grateful that Ffion Davies from Geldards was recommended to us by a SEND advocate, who was initially supporting us to obtain an EHCP and specialist setting for our child. From the outset, Ffion was warm, personable, professional and clearly knew her stuff! We felt the tension lessen knowing that we had someone like Ffion, from a reputable firm like Geldards, in our corner. No question was ever too silly and every answer was clearly explained so that we felt truly confident in how to proceed. However in no time at all, Ffion truly felt like part of the family. She got to know our daughter (who had decided she was making 'weapons' for the 'fight') and followed her superhero narrative, writing 'Top Secret Updates' to her about how she and her mummy were progressing the fight. Even her pet cat made an appearance as part of the superhero team! Ruby read the final update with a big smile on her face, at the news that the battle had finally been won, it was so emotional. Additionally, we had the wonderful benefit of working with Kate Hayes on this matter too, who was equally as lovely, professional and supportive. We hope that her time working our case may inspire her to support other parents like us in the future - as I said to her, this kind of work is life changing for everyone involved. We are still collecting ourselves after coming to the end of a very lengthy battle with our LA, but are ultimately thrilled that our daughter is now in the right setting for her and starting to turn a corner, with an EHCP confirmed, including all the provision she needs, thanks to the support of Ffion. Going through this process is gruelling for any parent or carer, but we felt very lucky to have worked with Ffion and Kate, who we would (and will!) recommend to anyone in our position. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

Ffion Davies

Very professional and efficient. Second time using and would thoroughly recommend.

I just wanted to say what a great service I received from Jen. It was a stressful period dealing with a large commercial lease, but Jen supported me throughout the process and made everything much easier to manage. She carefully reviewed the contract to make sure my interests were protected, identified potential risks, and clearly explained what changes or requests I should raise. Thank you again for all of your help, professional advice and support. I would not hesitate to contact Jen again for any future commercial lease matters. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your very kind review. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and it was a real pleasure working with you. I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future.

Adrienne is a fantastic solicitor. She is kind, caring, knowledgeable and diligent. Her attention to detail is second to none.her legal advice is based on long experience, and steered me through a complicated divorce process, which came to a fair and equitable conclusion. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a family law solicitor

I highly recommend Aysha Chouhdary (Partner), for outstanding quality in her profession and Lauren May for her exceptional backing at Geldards LLP. I had a very difficult divorce involving cohabitation and child issues. They were always there for me, on good days and bad, with a positive and proactive approach which made the whole process as stress-free as possible. This instilled complete confidence and trust in them but also in myself as I was able to make informed and fair decisions with their superb guidance and knowledge. Their attention to detail and quality of correspondence couldn’t have been better or clearer. They resolved many issues I never thought we would see an end to. They said they would get everything sorted for me and they did! They listened to what I wanted which was prioritising the needs of me and the children whilst also achieving a settlement which was fair for both parties. I cannot thank them enough for their support and helping me make a fresh start.

I had a very positive experience with Geldards Chelmsford regarding a commercial property transaction. Jen was extremely professional throughout the process, while also being genuinely kind, approachable and helpful. Her communication and support made the transaction much easier to navigate, and I really appreciated the professional yet personal service I received. I would happily recommend Jen and the team at Geldards Chelmsford to anyone looking for assistance with a commercial property matter.

Solicitors I've used the Nottingham brach very professional and sorted all our neds

Hats off to Gillian Crouch, Kayleigh Hume and Andrew James for their professionalism and humanity in dealing with what has been a protracted and fairly stressful time for me. Every query was dealt with promptly and efficiently and I have been kept informed of progress throughout. Would highly recommend them in the future

This is a very good law firm. Speaking to barrister Douglas Hammond at a SEN charity law seminar helped me to pursue the idea of steering my national children’s disability inclusion campaign into legal action.

Looked after by Bridget, 100% genuine and very nice. The receptionist was also very helpful, chatted, and made us feel welcome. Overall, they kept us updated and answered emails within hours, not day/weeks. Would definitely recommend this firm above all others. (NOT TO BIG FOR THERE BOOTS)
