    Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Kirsten. Dealing with courts and an ex-partner to sort out a property sale is incredibly draining, both legally and emotionally.

    Child arrangements

    I approached Warner Goodman in early 2024 about issues regarding child arrangements; they took the time to offer their advice and weren’t in any rush to persuade me to start court proceedings. Nearly a year later I finally decided to initiate court proceedings and during the entire process I have felt supported and been given sound advice throughout.

    From start to finish, Sam’s approach was supportive and reassuring. She took the time to explain the technical details involved in my case that enables me to make the right decisions and walk away with a settlement figure I was happy with. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a separation/divorce.

      Excellent service!

      I had cause to use WG services in respect of estate and inheritance matters and, connected to that, their conveyancing department. Antoinette was wonderful; professional, supportive and patient with a family dealing with the loss of a parent and navigating the maze of will and inheritance matters. I could not have asked for anyone better. Julia was equally professional and helpful with the conveyancing matter. All in all, brilliant people and I would 100% recommend them.

      Commercial Property

      We have recently used Warner Goodman for the renewal of our commercial lease for VODEX Ltd, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Charlotte Payne handled the matter for us, assisted by Eloise Smith, and the service we received throughout was excellent. Charlotte was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every aspect of the lease to us in clear, straightforward language. She highlighted areas that we may not otherwise have considered, explained the potential implications for our business and made sure that our interests were properly protected before we committed to the new lease. There were a number of points to work through during the process, but we always felt that Charlotte was firmly looking after our interests rather than simply trying to get the transaction completed. Communication from both Charlotte and Eloise was excellent, and we always knew where matters stood. As business owners, having professional advisers around you whom you can trust is incredibly important, and we certainly felt that we were in very safe hands with Charlotte and the team at Warner Goodman. A huge thank you to Charlotte and Eloise for all their hard work in getting our lease successfully completed. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using Warner Goodman again or recommending them to other businesses. Poala & Paul
