Knowing I was going to be going through a complex divorce, it was important to find the right solicitors to undertake my case, I have known EJ Coombs for a number years and was the ideal solicitors to work with, completely professional in every way by treating my case with absolute confidentiality, I felt completely supported and treated with respect by all members of staff, costs involved were transparent in every step of the way, I highly recommend EJ Coombs to anyone who is looking for professional solicitors in family law.

Advice and support

I needed advice over an ex-husband wanting to change a life time maintenance into a lump sum. It was so good to talk to people who understood all the legalise and could give me advice on how to approach this. I was, therefore, more confident talking to him as I knew how it should be done.
They were right and he has now done it properly. I am now financially secure for my lifetime.

I was recommended this firm to make my will. The service given was excellent. I was guided through the process with courtesy and wise advice. Paul Hassin was also kind and cheerful and I knew I was in good hands. I would highly recommend this practice

I have no hesitation in recommending EJ Coombs Solicitors. Megan Milburn, has worked tirelessly on my Family Matters case. She has been outstanding, her communication has been consistent including her paperwork, her advice and expertise has been invaluable and her patience with my frustrations remarkable. It’s been a privilege having her as my solicitor fighting my corner and I cannot thank her enough for everything on this long and emotional journey. Megan and Ellie have been the ‘A’ Team even when things have been so frustrating. Both are a credit to Liz Coombs’ company and team.

I can honestly say with hand on heart, EJ Coombs Solicitors are THE BEST!
I was looked after by Sara Barnes, and I honestly cannot fault her or her team at ANY stage of the process (divorce).
I am not good with solicitor papers or really complicated forms of any kind. Sara walked me through every step, she went above and beyond in her representation of me and put me at ease from the outset. Sara was 100% committed to MY best interests and I know I must have frustrated her terribly on many occasions, but her patience and professionalism shone through at these times. Sarah helped me with every form to fill out, question I posed and explained everything in a way I would understand. I would never use another company now.
I am so grateful to Sara and also her team for all of her/their assistance.
Fantastic company, you cannot go wrong if EJ Coombs are in your corner. You feel a sense of protection that they will guide you on the right path and defend your best interests with all their might.
I really do appreciate all your help.
Thank you
