Truly outstanding service

I contacted Dawson Cornwell for a highly sensitive family legal matter and the response was extremely positive. Choosing the right legal team is an important decision; with this team working with Gemma Adams and supported by Carolina Marín Pedreño, I definitely made the right choice. The process from beginning to end of my case was extremely smooth, and I got the positive outcome that I hoped for. Gemma was very supportive and her professional advice was excellent. I would highly recommend them.

Disgraceful firm if you are on legal aid

Amy Rowe was all sweet talking at first, saying she understands my case and how I wish to proceed and confirmed she would support me in the way I wanted to go forward, up until legal aid was approved. From there onwards followed frankly unbelievable treatment. First they changed the junior solicitor who was supposed to support me and allocated Michael (Mike) Terry, who was more sympathetic for the abuser applicant and he was not afraid to say it. Both Amy and Mike were guilt tripping me about the fact that I have legal aid, only to charge the agency with excess of 5000 pounds for the substandard effort and work they put in. They were trying really hard to change my statement/ the truth/ so they can make they work easy; saying I would have my child given residency with applicant (whom he doesn't know and lives in a different country) if I do not change my statement. Sabotaging my evidence, trying to remove most important ones eg. the applicant writing to me to say he agrees to donate/ that he is a donor. Making discriminatory remarks about the way I have said things (mocking me for not being a native english speaker basically) Not letting me have my mother with me in an online call. Lying to me that I have a live with order so I can travel when I didn't have one. Not responding to emails and calls and not doing their work in face of looming submission deadlines. I have put in formal complaints and the response was even more unprofessional. I luckily already had legal advice and have solicitor and barrister friends to reassure me that this is not acceptable and have of course changed solicitors. I was thinking to let it go but at least I can do an honest review and hopefully warn any potential legal aid clients to keep well away from this firm.

Child Custody

I would like to thank Kelly Harwood for her support during my son's custody court. The work that she and her entire team have done has been impeccable, including the barrister that was assigned to me in each court is truly valuable and above all the kindness and patience they had with me, always with words of support with a lot of respect and affection, something I have never going to forget .The court, thank , concluded that my son lives with me and that is what I always asked for always , one more time thank you very much for your support and your excellent work.

International family law / Hauge convention

Highly recommendable and reliable firm to have on board for your case. My personal experience with them has been outstanding. They demonstrated multiple skill sets which are fundamental for a successful win for your case. The core of the company oozes professionalism, integrity, tenacity, reliability and very considerate to individual needs. My personal case was one that was highly emotive and very complex. However, I was navigated by the team so skilfully to achieve my positive outcome. I couldn't be more grateful for all the effort that was put into my case. I would confidently recommend this firm to anyone who is in aid for matters involved with international family law / hauge convention.

Although I expressed my appreciation to shabina begum and team for their help and guidance, I wish to formally register my thanks in writing.
From the beginning of my child case you have always been immediately available to discuss any developments by phone, emails and in person. As matters progressed, and became somewhat stressful, your advice and reassurance were particularly appreciated, leading to the successful conclusion of what became an extremely tricky complicated case. In addition, I have always felt that my matter was given priority as an important individual client.
Thank you once again for ensuring a satisfactory conclusion. I finally won thanks shabian and team it been stressful few years, i wish i knew abt your law firm earlier at the first court with old solicitors that have mess things but I'm glad i came across your firm.

Journey of 3 exhausting, frustrating years ended with wonderful result

Although I expressed my appreciation to Carolina and Aysel for their help and guidance, I wish to formally register my thanks in writing.
