Family Court - Lizzie Cross

Lizzie recently represented me in family court. Leading up to the hearing, Lizzie was proactive, always one step ahead and knowledgable in her approach. Lizzie consistently offered clear advice and continually communicated anything ‘need to know’, so I wasn’t surprised by anything during the process. I would recommend Lizzie highly.

Incredible service start to finish

After approaching the Lanyon Bowdler reception regarding family law l was swiftly greeted by Staci Robinson. I had a short discussion with her and felt a huge weight had been lifted, I was put at ease very quickly. She was extremely professional when gathering all of the relevant information whilst continuing to make me feel valued. Staci ensured that I was aware that my case would not be quick, she was upfront and honest throughout. Staci and her team were always in contact with me through the duration of the 12months that my case took. My case was for visitation of my two children which were being withheld from me. At first instance I did not know my rights as a father and waited a long time before reaching out to Lanyon Bowdler. My advice to anyone reading this that’s in a similar position get in touch with Lanyon Bowdler ASAP when facing these issues. My case could have been a lot quicker if I knew what I do now which is all thanks to Staci and her team. I would also like to add that both the receptions I dealt with in Hereford were approachable, friendly and extremely helpful.

Have used this company three times. First time for a house sale and purchase and service was OK. Second time for advice on daughter's divorce. Paid £360 for a 30 min chat that was totally useless and unhelpful. Final and last time was for another house sale and purchase and experienced a mixture of carelessness and incompetence - wrong documents, wrong cost figures, wrong insurance policy sold etc etc.. Never again . Avoid

An exceptional conveyancer.

I honestly cannot recommend Rachael at Lanyon & Bowdler highly enough. She has been absolutely brilliant throughout our conveyancing process. What has stood out most is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She has always taken the time to explain things clearly, answer any questions we’ve had and keep us updated, which made what could have been a very stressful process so much easier. She has also been incredibly proactive. Whenever an issue has come up, she has dealt with it quickly and thoroughly rather than letting things sit, and she has consistently gone the extra mile to keep everything moving forward. I never felt like we were just another client. She has been approachable, reassuring and incredibly thorough, while still getting things done as quickly as possible. You can tell she takes real pride in what she does and genuinely wants to achieve the best outcome for the people she represents. We are so grateful for all the time and effort she has put into our sale and purchase. She really has been a pleasure to deal with and is a huge credit to Lanyon & Bowdler. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her.

Fantastic service!

Sale of Our Business We are currently halfway through the process of selling our business, and I would like to take the opportunity to compliment the team on the excellent service and support we have received to date. Communication throughout the process has been outstanding - clear, concise and always timely. It has been particularly reassuring to see such a strong team effort, with everyone working collaboratively to ensure that the high level of service and support has been maintained throughout what can be a complex and demanding process. We have felt well supported and informed at every stage, and the professionalism, dedication and approachable nature of the team have made a real difference to our experience. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending the team at Lanyon Bowdler LLP to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable and supportive legal advice. Thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work and continued support.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We are delighted to read your comments and are very grateful that you have shared your experience of working with us during what is, as you rightly note, a complex and demanding process. It is wonderful to hear that the communication and collaborative approach of the team have made a positive difference to your experience. Knowing that you have felt well supported and informed at every stage is exactly the outcome we strive for, and your feedback is a real source of encouragement for everyone involved in your matter. We remain fully committed to maintaining that same high standard of service as we work with you through the remainder of the sale process. Thank you once again for your kind words and for placing your trust in us. We look forward to continuing to support you through to a successful conclusion.

As a first-time buyer, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but Saffia and Eloise at Lanyon Bowdler were amazing throughout the whole process. They were always friendly, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions, no matter how small. They explained everything clearly and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much easier. I always felt supported and kept informed. I can't thank them enough for all their help and would highly recommend Lanyon Bowdler, especially to anyone buying their first home!

Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback. We will ensure Saffia and Heloise are made aware.

They were recommended by another solicitor for specialist probate work. They never returned my call, obviously not interested in new business at the moment. It would have been polite to just say they're too busy rather than promise to have a lawyer ring back then not ring.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however, we are unable to trace a call from you. If you'd like to contact us via the number on our website, or by completing a form on the site, we will get back to you.

I’ve used Saffia Keegan twice now once for purchase and once for selling. I can’t believe how fast and efficient she is - I have dealt with other solicitors in the past with no response for weeks which can be really frustrating. Saffia and Heloise are both really quick to respond and just get to the point very quickly. She made the process so easy and everything was done online - no messing about back and forth with papers getting lost. In 2025 this is the way things should be done! Thank you so much Saffia & Lanyon Bowdler team. I will never use anyone else! Highly recommend 😊

We used Lanyon Bowdler for our house sale because we wanted a top quality service rather than to feel like we were lost in a pile of other house sales. Saffia Keegan gave us exactly this: She was proactive and communicative at all the right times, answered queries readily and quickly and we definitely recommend. A stress free process.
