      Excellent communications

      I went to Bailey & Cogger (Tonbridge) seeking a solicitor to read, comprehend, and sign my redundancy agreement. B&C passed my details to Hatten Wyatt, where Selwan Yousif scrutinized and undersigned my document. Shout out to Lily Harrington who helped liaise between myself, my ex-company and Lily's internal team. Lily was polite yet friendly, bringing pleasantry to some unpleasant business. I just had to sit back and let the cogs whirr, so a big thumbs up from me.

      I recently used Stephens and Sons for my divorce, with Deborah Nicholson handling my case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I received. From the outset, Deborah was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly understanding. She made what was a very stressful and emotional time much more manageable through her clear guidance and calm, supportive approach.

We believe that clear communication is essential to making these life transitions more manageable, and it is wonderful to know that Deborah’s approach helped ease the stress of the process for you. We will be sure to share your lovely feedback with Deborah and the rest of the team. We wish you the very best as you move forward into your next chapter.
