Out of court settlement reached

I'd like to thank Georgina for her diligence, professionalism and support over the last year+ where she has assisted me in getting to an out of court settlement. I would thoroughly recommend Just Family Law and Georgina to anyone needing support, advice and representation.

Many thanks again Georgina and I sincerely hope our paths don't cross again :)

You’re in good hands

I was recommended Just Family Law by a mediator and I have been very happy with the service they have provided. The divorce was always going to be an expensive, stressful and lengthy process but Emma and Georgina made me feel so much better about everything, explained everything in a clear way and were always there to calm me down when I panicked about things! I was also able to have a payment schedule that I could afford which really helped. I would recommend Just Family Law without hesitation for their highly professional and personal service. Thank you!

Amazing help and support

Jo was superb in every sense, both on a professional and personal level, I cannot recommend her strongly enough. She made a difficult and traumatic time much smoother and much more straightforward using simple and understandable language. Quite simply she is the best you could ever hope for.

TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL

DO NOT USE JOANNE HOUSTON OF JUST FAMILY LAW. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL, V SLOW AND DOESNT GIVE COPIES TO CLIENT OF IMPORTANT LETTERS WHICH SHOULD BE APPROVED BEFORE SENDING OUT I.E. DIVORCE SETTLEMENT OFFERS. STOPPED USING HER, 4 MTHS LATER HER ACCOUNTANT, SARAH LOWE CREDIT MANAGEMENT SENT ME LETTER SIMPLY REQUESTING AN AMOUNT OF MONEY. OF COURSE I QUESTIONED WHAT THIS WAS FOR, 12 MTHS LATER I RECEIVED DETAILS OF WHAT THE CHARGES WERE FOR AND GIVEN 7 DAYS TO PAY! NEVER RECEIVED INVOICE AT ANY TIME FOR THIS, ALL INVOICES I DID RECEIVED WERE PAID PROMPTLY. DOESN'T DESERVE ANY STARS BUT HAD TO GIVE ONE TO PLACE REVIEW.

My thanks to Jo Houston principle at 'Just Family Law' for navigating me through the most difficult time of my life. Jo’s professionalism mixed with her compassion and empathy was a real comfort to me. In addition, her skill in writing up impactful witness statements is second to none!

Thank you for the kindness and empathy you showed to me

I'd like to thank you for the kindness and empathy you showed to me throughout a journey I wouldn't wish on anyone. I've never forgotten our first discussion in a Regus office near Southampton airport at what seems like a very long time ago, I was an absolutely heartbroken wreck, devastated at the marriage / relationship having reached the stage that it had. I didn't expect for you to be so kind and thoughtful as well as professional! I've made reference to your firm as a consequence to friends in similar need of counsel as a result. Thank you again
