My experience with Jonathan was excellent. I came to him part way through my divorce after my previous solicitors failed to get things done on time. Jonathan took the time to talk me through the process and kept me fully informed throughout. I am happy to recommend him to others needing a stress free professional service.

Hard working professional

Andrea and Chloe (secretary)are an amazing duo.
They gave great guidance, advice, support and they have a really friendly but professional attitude.
After a very stressful process they have both been fantastic. I can’t thank them both enough for their hard work. Whether on the phone, email or in person always honest, attentive to detail and punctual with paperwork and court proceedings keeping me with regular updates on how the process was going. Great legal knowledge. From both me and my family 5 stars for both of you and once again thank you

April 2024 - Settlement Agreement

Exceptional legal support throughout my settlement process. From the moment I engaged their services, I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring my best interests were represented.

They diligently communicated every step of the process, ensuring I was fully informed and comfortable with the proceedings. Their prompt responses to my queries and proactive approach in addressing any concerns demonstrated their dedication to client satisfaction.

The comprehensive documentation provided, including the settlement agreement, terms and conditions of business, and client care letter, showcased their thoroughness and commitment to transparency. I felt reassured knowing that my case was in capable hands.


I also appreciate their partnership with Review Solicitors, which reflects their commitment to continuously improving their services and gathering feedback from clients.

I recommend their services to anyone seeking legal representation. Thank you once again to Zaban & team for their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support.

As an estate agent of 24 years I can honestly say Richard Durrant of Boys and Maughan is the best conveyancing solicitor In the industry by a country mile! I have worked with him on both a personal and professional level. His dedication to his clients and resolving issues that other solicitors would give up on is unrivalled. If you want your home sale or purchase to complete with as little stress as possible then Richard is your man. Thanks again Richard first class job as always.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Alan Kirkaldie Karen Redmond and Jonathan De Costa who have worked hard so hard and to get an agreement and managed to settle my divorce. It was a very complicated case that had been ongoing for 4 years. With out their professional expertise it would still be ongoing I cannot thank them enough. I would totally recommend them for any family or divorce disputes. If you need a solicitor that is professional upfront and would like to resolve long legal matters
Look no further than this firm. Thank you once again.
