Great Help Through a Complex Family Law Matter

John was a steady and determined advocate throughout a complex and stressful case. The other side’s approach was to delay at every turn, but John kept the pressure on and stayed focused. Took some time, but we now have sealed orders, and I feel far less stressed. Very grateful for his support — highly recommend. A big thank you as well to the junior solicitors on the team — their responsiveness, care, and behind-the-scenes work made a real difference.

Divorce proceedings

John Owens and his team at MSB went above and beyond representing me during my acrimonious divorce . Tenacious , Professional and knowledgeable in all areas . Special mention to Eva and Nur .I highly recommend them all , they appointed me an outstanding Barrister Kate Huyton who secured me a settlement I was not hopeful of obtaining at the beginning of proceedings due to the other parties behaviour. John Owens and his team remained Professional at all times .

Importance of being listened to,

They are a firm that listens to their clients.

They were always on the ball and I was never left to think whether there’s anyone working on my case.

They will prioritise you and make sure you feel heard.

I felt safe and comfortable with their help.
I hope I don’t get to use the service again because I’m not planning to remarry 😂🤣 but if ever needed I would in a heartbeat.

Thank you MSB Team🥂

Complex Litigation and Pension

John Owen’s carried me through a very difficult, challenging and protracted period of an acrimonious divorce. His support, tenacity, knowledge and Legal expertise were unwavering and at times I believe above and beyond.

This resulted in a great outcome.

I highly recommend John Owens as a Solicitor. He is very thorough, methodical and THE BEST.

Due to my faith in MSB Solicitors I have undertaken to use other services that are provided by the firm. My finding are that they very professional in their dealings with a client, and matters are dealt with seamlessly.

Review for John Owens

My experience with John & MSB has been overwhelmingly positive. I could not have hoped for better representation and advice, I would have genuinely been lost without his counsel. Both he and his team have at every stage provided the highest level of support imaginable, always professional, courteous and with genuine compassion.

I would not hesitate to recommend John and MSB to anyone requiring representation.

John Owens did a great job

I have been working with MSB for nearly 9 years. At the point John took on my case things changed and he managed to get matters resolved.

He is straight talking but really clear about rights, fairness and how to manage through really tricky responses.

This review is about John and his team.

These guys are completely crooked. They discriminate against disabled people's health concerns, and engage in bullying campaigns when lighting that has no planning permission is erected by their employees in a Dark Sky Reserve. Mine and my wife's health has gone downhill and we are holding you responsible Mark Foreman and Rebecca. Expect legal action.
