Outstanding Solicitor Who Delivered the Outcome I Hoped For

After a number of years navigating a complex financial settlement following my separation, my solicitor has been incredible from start to finish. Their professionalism, patience, and dedication never wavered, even when the process felt overwhelming. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I achieved the outcome I had hoped for. I am truly grateful for their outstanding support

Molestation and occupation order

I’ve found Pippa Marshal to be incredibly supportive, clear, and reassuring throughout a very difficult and complex situation. Her guidance has been precise, practical, and delivered with genuine care. She took the time to explain the process in detail, helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in the case, and provided clear strategic advice that has made a huge difference to my confidence moving forward. Pippa’s communication has been excellent — always calm, balanced, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. She has been honest about what matters legally and has helped me stay grounded and prepared. I’m very grateful for her professionalism and the clarity she has brought to a stressful situation. I would highly recommend Pippa Marshal to anyone needing strong, knowledgeable, and compassionate representation in family matters.

Used this firm after a poor service at another and the difference was vast, but of course, this was primarily down to the lawyer that was assigned to my matter at the time. To iterate this, I worked with more than one lawyer at this firm and the difference in personal styles was again quite vast. It all depends on who you deal with. Nonetheless, the firm overall, provides a professional service that's of a much higher standard than most. The advice was always open, direct, honest, and options on the table crystal clear, which you often just don't receive from a lot of firms that just want to bill you their invoice. The lawyer I had was always clear about how much time and effort each path or action would cost, giving me a good set of recommendations to make a choice with. That's no doubt testament to the firms ethos. Personally, I would highly recommend!

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad to hear that you found our service to be a significant improvement and appreciated the professionalism of our firm.

I dealt with Pippa Marshall for my divorce, who was recommended to me by a friend who worked with Pippa for his complicated divorce. She was very professional and very informative. Pippa took her time to go through every aspect, and I really felt like she was fighting my corner. Unfortunately I became a widower before I became a divorcee, and when this happened Pippa was supportive and empathetic to the situation but remained professional at all times. I can’t recommend her highly enough

We had an excellent experience working with Michael Davies and his team on the sale of our property. They were efficient, knowledgeable, and highly diligent throughout the entire process. Communication was always prompt and clear, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel very well managed. What stood out most was their commitment even after completion — they continued to follow up on outstanding matters and ensured everything was fully finalised, even a year later. That level of care and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated. I would highly recommend their services.

Absolutely brilliant, fast, professional, clear and delivered a robust service. Recent mortgage oversight from Ben Marks and Anne was superbly dealt with and I intend on moving all my business to them. For a big firm they really do pay attention to detail. Great service and worked around the clock to deliver! HIGHLY recommended, tried and tested and didn't let me down!
