Excellent service

I can’t thank Sophia enough for taking on my case. It was probably simple to most but for me it was complicated. She was informative and very knowledgeable. Either Sophia or one of her paralegals got back to me quickly with any queries I may of had.

Support with divorce proceedings

I would highly recommend Mei-Ling's services. She was sympathetic and supportive throughout my divorce, and communication was clear and timely. She helped me understand the process and requirements at each stage, making a stressful experience much easier to navigate. Documents were drafted efficiently and I was grateful for her guidance and expertise.

Outstanding, professional service

The service I have received from Abigail and her team has been second to none. What particularly stood out was Abigail's calm and compassionate approach that helped me navigate even the most complex challenges. She keeps the children front and centre of the case whilst simultaneously navigating the intricacies of family law. I am sincerely grateful for her expert guidance and honest approach over what has often been an immensely challenging time.

I only wish my ex’s solicitors had been as good as mine

Ours was a long and bitter divorce, but that was never the fault of Mei-Ling McNab and Gemma Peaty. They did everything possible to save costs, avoid court and minimise the hurt for everyone involved. When I was angry, exhausted or losing perspective, they kept me focused on what mattered most - my children, my future and staying calm. They managed the process perfectly, always knowing the best next step and creating the best possible outcome. To be honest, they managed me too, with equal measures of empathy and wisdom. I was one of the unlucky ones who ended up at a final hearing, not for lack of effort on their part, and that’s where I really saw the difference between having solicitors who care about the outcome for all parties - and solicitors who don’t. I was proud to be represented by Mei-Ling and Gemma, and while I wish court could have been avoided, there is no one I would rather have had by my side. Thank you both for your kindness, your professionalism, your focus on finding solutions and your deep knowledge and intelligent application of family law. I’ll always be grateful for the fair outcome you achieved and the dignity you helped me maintain throughout the process.

I cannot recommend this solicitor practice highly enough, and in particular, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to **Gemma Peatey** for her exceptional support and guidance throughout my divorce. From our very first conversation, Gemma demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, empathy and clarity. Divorce is never easy, but Gemma made a difficult process feel manageable and far less daunting. She explained every step with care, ensured I fully understood my options, and always had my best interests at heart. Her attention to detail, prompt responses and calm reassurance gave me confidence at every stage. I truly felt listened to and supported, not just as a client, but as a person navigating a major life transition. Thanks to Gemma’s dedication and expert advice, I felt empowered to make informed decisions and reach a resolution that worked for me. If you are seeking legal representation that is not only highly competent but also compassionate and truly client-focused, I would not hesitate to recommend Gemma Peatey and this outstanding practice.

Very slow and limited communication. I've had to prompt Emma several times to chase Clare to get results and comms. Not Brachers usual calibre of staff.
