Ben, Yatin and the team were extremely helpful and supportive throughout my journey, at a time I felt awful and anxious, they all supported me and made me feel heard and comforted when I had awkward conversations/questions which were hard at times. I cannot fault them all at all and would definitely recommend to anyone in my situation! Thank you again team 😊

I was assigned Yatin and Theo as my representatives for a prolonged case. Throughout they were both professional, re assuring and extremely knowledgeable. I had full confidence in these solicitors. Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience, explained everything that was going on through the court proceedings. All paper work was on time. All polite and always called if I needed to ask for information or was unsure on something. I would recommend to anyone!

I am really appreciative of all the hard work and expertise of Yatin and Theo - they were knowledgeable, empathetic and were always 100% professional and worked with honesty and integrity from beginning to end, which made me feel like I was in very safe hands and meant I trusted their guidance. If I ever need legal representation again, I would not hesitate to call Yatin or Theo at Watkins solicitors.
Avoid ! Beverly Watkins advised us to accept a non molestation order despite being innocent to save on court fees. I was later falsely accused of breaching the order which has lead to two arrests and 24 hours in a police cell with no charge made, not Beverly’s fault there but I was NOT advised that I wouldn’t be entitled to legal aid having accepting the order through Beverly’s advice. She was aware that I was going to court to try and gain access to my daughter and all of this has hugely gone against me especially with not being able to afford legal representation. I was later advised by separate legal firms that I should never have accepted the order.
Watkins solicitors and in particular Louise Price were excellent in every way. Louise was not only extremely knowledgeable and efficient but personable, kind and supportive throughout what was a difficult time. She gave comfort, confidence and reassurance at all stages and in the court room was a strong, calm and caring guide. She did her job brilliantly and without fault. We would highly recommend Watkins solicitors as a business and also Louise. Thank you.
Hi Katharine, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that Louise provided you with such knowledgeable, calm and supportive guidance throughout. We understand how important it is for clients to feel reassured, listened to and confidently supported, particularly during court proceedings. Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. Kind regards, Watkins Solicitors
Joanne supported me through navigating family court and in turn gave myself and my children a voice. Watkins solicitors are amazing and i would recommend them in an instant. They are professional, reliable and not afraid to ‘tell you how it is’ when required which is beneficial. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for my family.
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We are so pleased to hear that Joanne was able to support you through the family court process and help you feel heard at such an important time. It is also great to know you valued the clear and honest guidance provided throughout. Your feedback means a great deal to the team. Should you need any support in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Absolutely incredible company. Updates when needed, reminding me of timelines and perfectly explained to a great standard for me to understand what was happening! Great communication and so friendly. My divorce was dealt with a lot faster than I expected which was brilliant! Thank you so much Celine.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear that Celine kept you well informed throughout and that everything was handled clearly and efficiently. Should you need any support in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Watkins Solicitors has represented me in making two Judicial Review (JR) claims against my local authority (LA) now. These claims were focused on challenging the LA's decisions to withhold elements of my child's special education and social care provision. On both occasions, I found Watkins to be highly efficient, very sympathetic, and incredibly well-organised. I was only able to challenge my LA through the JR process because of the Legal Help Scheme and Legal Aid. It is becoming harder to obtain Legal Aid, as many solicitor firms do not offer this form of support. However, Watkins does, and, consequently, I have been able to take on my LA. Without Watkins' support, no doubt my child would still be without his specialist provision and suffering. For my last claim, I dealt with Gregg Burrough, who I highly recommend. He is an incredibly dedicated solicitor, working extremely long hours. His communication skills are excellent and he always replies to my emails immediately. He is so very courteous and understanding. I can't tell you how important it is for families to feel someone has their child's back when they all are feeling so vulnerable and exposed. I unreservedly recommend Watkins Solicitors to anyone seeking legal recourse via Judicial Review when needing to challenge an LA's unlawful decision-making. Watkins have excellent contacts and work alongside some inimitably qualified and experienced barristers. A truly excellent firm!
Thank you so much, Chris, for taking the time to share such your review. We’re truly pleased to have supported you in securing the provision your child is entitled to. Your words mean a great deal to us, and we’re especially pleased to hear how highly you valued Gregg’s support and dedication throughout both Judicial Review cases. We know how important it is for families to feel heard and protected, and we’re so glad we could be there for you when it mattered most. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation.

Watkins solicitors came very highly recommended to me and I can certainly say that was well proved with my case. I worked with Watkins for 3 years and what a fantastic experience I had with them they got me through the lowest time of my life right up to finally winning my case! They didn’t give up just when there were times when I felt myself giving up. The support was incredible and Emily handled absolutely everything for me taking a lot of stress off of me I cannot thank Emily and the team enough!

We couldn’t recommend Watkins Solicitors highly enough, especially Morgan, who was amazing throughout the purchase of our first home. From start to finish, Morgan was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient. Her communication was outstanding – she kept us informed at every stage, responded promptly to any questions, and liaised proactively with all parties involved to keep everything moving smoothly. Everything was explained clearly, and no question ever felt like too much trouble. Buying your first home can be daunting, but Morgan made the whole process feel straightforward and gave us complete confidence every step of the way. Her dedication, attention to detail, and excellent client care truly stood out. Thank you, Morgan, for helping us purchase our first home. We are so grateful for all your hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend both you and Watkins Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive conveyancing solicitor.

I highly recommend this Solicitors..as they were incredibly committed and super supportive to disability rights issues. They helped us navigate our way through overly complex Local Council’s SEND services and their interpretation of policies and procedures, thus rendering my son to exercise his right to College transportation (POST 16). The legal advocacy that Watkins Solicitors provides is second to none. Whilst a seasoned parent of SEND issues, I have like many others, been consistently bamboozled by the very institutions that should be empowering and Safeguarding Send Young Adults and have really appreciated the support during this distressing and uncertain period. Consequently my son now has the opportunity to reconvene with the very service that provides independence for him to and from College. The team were so consistent and committed to getting the best outcome for my son that I found their legal insight very inspiring and utterly supportive. They also saved my house on another occasion for my son’s future. I can honestly say they have saved our lives, and are brilliant disability advocates!

Louise has been fantastic in the support and advice during the process from the first meeting up until closing the case at court. She has been with me every step of the way, brilliant and prompt communication over email or phone. Quick responses with emails and letters.
