Child arrangements case - Jenna Atkinson

Jenna was quite simply AMAZING!! From start to finish Jenna and her team acted with complete professionalism, empathy, compassion and accuracy. I had complete confidence in her at all times and the standards to which Jenna works to are to be admired and commended, the barrister on the day commented that the preparation of my documents was second to none and certainly helped us achieve the right outcome. Jenna and her co worker Olivia have both been superb communicators all the way through and I have never had to chase anything or wait any long period of time for them to get back to me. I would thoroughly recommend Jenna to anyone going through any family issues. She is a very special person and fantastic at her job and Olivia is certainly following suit. Thank you again ladies, you're the best.

Avoid

I had the unfortunate experience to instruct HD to represent me. They fabricated calls and the calls they did have with me was Jenna explaining to me about her future ambitions, her sons birthday, Ant and Dec game shows and the strategy she’d have if she was on the game show. When I tried to steer her on track I was told “don’t worry I don’t charge for all this I like to build a rapport”. She then continued to charge me >£5,000 for calls that never occurred, working on things she was not instructed to work on and despite being told to stop billed for continuing to work on items and even consulted senior solicitors on items she was told not to work on and that only need a basic grasp of maths. I was quoted £5,000 from start to finish. Almost £5,000 in one month and Jenna did not start on my child arrangements and billed me for work I begged her to not do.

Dear Malachy, Harrison Drury strives to provide excellent customer service and whilst we are sorry that you have felt the need to write a review in such terms, your comments are not accepted and are not borne out by the facts. As you are aware your concerns have been thoroughly investigated by Harrison Drury through our internal process and they were not upheld. Despite your concerns not being upheld, as a gesture of goodwill, we have nevertheless attempted to reach an amicable resolution with you and it is unfortunate that, so far, we have not been unable to do so. Kind Regards Harrison Drury

I want to share my experience with Spence Law, particularly for other men who may find themselves navigating a difficult divorce or separation. My ex-partner was represented by Spence Law during our family court proceedings, where fabricated accusations of domestic abuse and financial control were made against me. Despite evidence proving the exact opposite, these allegations were taken at face value, causing immense emotional and financial strain. Spence Law facilitated these claims without requiring evidence, perpetuating false narratives that were later disproven in court. I urge other men to stay strong if they face similar situations, as truth and fairness can prevail despite the challenges. While I understand that solicitors represent their clients’ interests, I would encourage Spence Law to consider the broader impact of enabling baseless allegations and the harm caused to innocent parties.

Adele and all the team at Spence Family Law, Southport are Fab. I cannot fault her work and the whole experience from start to finish was stress free, and importantly, in a very acceptable time frame. Divorce can be stressful, but that was taken away from me by Adele.Highly recommended.Thank you so much Spence Family Law, Chris & Gemma

Going through a divorce is a stressful and challenging time, but Adele steered me through the complex legal process and I was happy with the outcome. Her staff were really friendly and helpful too, all of which makes a difference when facing the difficulties of a divorce. If you are looking for for supportive, efficient and experienced specialists then I would recommend Spence Family Law.

The service provided to me by everyone at Spence Family Law was excellent. Everyone is so friendly and I don't think I could have gotten through some of the issues I experienced without them. Caroline especially was wonderful. She was so understanding of my situation and always there whenever I needed to speak to her about anything. I cannot thank them enough for their support.

The team were really good to communicate with, identifying my requirements perfectly. I was guided and kept informed at each step of my divorce. I felt very supported and knew every query was professionally answered. They are a company that cares and I would recommend them.

Housing & Property

Not proactive or helpful, we do not trust these solicitors.

We used these solicitors for the sale of our house, we made a mistake, we do not trust these solicitors to look after our best interests, after 6 months the no chain buyer pulled out, our house is up for sale again and we will use a different solicitor. The original member of staff dealing our case left with no notice and then the solicitor dealing with our case also left the company. The first thing the replacement member of staff did was to send us a bill for over 2K for the failed sale they called abortive.

Sale of agricultural land

The staff at Harrison Drury were extremely helpful and knowledgeable on all issues in this matter. They were tenacious and persevering with every twist and turn in the issues we came up against. They very much have a 'can do' attitude and find solutions for things that can be done, and strive to overcome barriers.

I cannot recommend Jade at Harrison Drury highly enough. Throughout the entire process of our house purchase, she was a massive help and an absolute standout. Buying a home can be incredibly stressful, but Jade was always on hand to answer our questions and offer support exactly when we needed it. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed smoothly and worked tirelessly to help us get the purchase over the line. We are now fully moved into our new home, and we couldn't have done it without her dedication and hard work. If you need someone who is responsive, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, Jade is the solicitor for it.

Dreadful. Keeps information from its clients in an attempt to drive house sale prices down at the last minute, which resulted in the sale falling through as the seller walked away. Shameful behaviour

The team at Harrison Drury helped me through a particularly challenging situation during a recent property purchase process. Tracey McCambridge was invaluable in her advice and support, which ultimately got the sale over the line. I have used HD several times before, and every time the service has been most impressive. I don’t hesitate in strongly recommending them - they are a highly professional team with excellent communication, diligence and timeliness, and most of all I know I can trust them - and surely that matters more than anything else.
