Peters May LLP

At a time when everything seemed so confusing, Juliette was there to reassure me. I simply would not have coped without her expertise, empathy and understanding.
If I had any doubts, Juliette would reassure that me that everything would be fine. Peters May were there to guide me at my most vulnerable time. For that I will always be most grateful.

Peters May are a superb partnership who I have dealt with for many years, they are professional and truly work for the benefit of their clients, I can only express my sincere thanks for the work done on my cases over the years.

Working with Jessica was wonderful. I had reached out to a few lawyers in the matter of my divorce but Jessica was the only one that stood out to me on initial discussions. My case was complex as it involved jurisdiction issues between England and South Africa which needed to be addressed urgently. She always listened to me as a client but most importantly what I admired most is that she made sure she had all the facts and truth before negotiating the matter for me. As someone who is generally bullied into things by other people, Jessica was invaluable to me as she took all the stress off my shoulders and resolved the matter efficiently. She was also very responsive to all my questions and made me feel at ease always. I would recommend her to anyone as she will have your best interests at heart!

Juliette acted for me in a particularly difficult, acrimonious divorce from a husband qualified in the legal profession. She has a razor sharp attention to detail, very tenacious and extremely knowledgeable. I have recommended a number of friends to her, including high net worth individuals who have all been delighted with the outcome of their particular matters. Juliette has to be one of the very best in her field.

Jessica served as lead Solicitor in my divorce; my highly contested financial court application and my children court proceedings. She was highly personable and understanding of my situation. I am forever grateful for her counsel. As a satisfied former client, I highly endorse Jessica for her counsel in matters of family law.

Over the last eighteen months Peters May have represented me across three very different cases � a child custody case for my son, a child maintenance judgement summons and variation case for both of my children, and most recently, for my divorce. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be faced with such personal challenges, let alone the resulting legal issues, but Peters May guided me through with not only an unparalleled level of expertise, but also with empathy and understanding. Two out of three cases involved international law, which made resolving these cases particularly complex, yet Peters May facilitated the experts required, including a Qatari law specialist and an Independent Social Worker, both of which were highly reputable in their respective fields. Juliette ran two cases and Jessica the other, but both worked seamlessly together to ensure they were never out of the loop. This helped me enormously as if one partner was in court, the other was generally available to respond, update me and push the case forward. I've instructed large legal firms in the past for various matters and found that over time I've been lost in the system. When being faced with possibly losing my child, I couldn�t allow this to happen. As a small boutique law firm Peters May are able to pay huge attention to detail and to offer a much more personal service, thus ensuring this never happened. As women and mothers themselves I sensed the partners were really able to relate to the situation I found myself in. I also felt I could truly trust them, making what was a very testing time so much easier to cope with, knowing they had my back.

Right from our first meeting, when I didn't know which way to turn and spent an awful amount of time crying, Juliette showed compassion and understanding talking me through the process ahead. The outcome was just as she had predicted, which I am very happy with. I appreciated Juliette's no nonsense calm approach and also her kindness through a very difficult personal time � with the result that matters settled exactly as she had advised when I initially consulted her.

Jessica was my expert guide and strategist in navigating through my complex divorce. I couldn�t have been happier with my choice of lawyer.�She has a stringent eye for detail, is always tightly prepared and has a sharp ability to work out what the issues are. She always responded to my phone calls, my emails and messages. I couldn't recommend her more highly. She has reassured me that some lawyers are there to help, guide and support, and not all lawyers are out to take all the fees they can.�Peters May have the depth of experience (being ex City family lawyers) to give sound counsel and the size to ensure you always feel personally looked after.�I did.

My Husband retained my young daughter after a weekend contact visit and made false allegations that I was an unfit Mother, leaving me distraught. Juliette made an emergency court application for me and we got my daughter back. Juliette reassured me all the way through and gave me the confidence to carry on. I can't thank her enough.
