I would recommend Alex to anyone who finds themselves needing a family solicitor. Alex was outstanding from the start to the end of my case, and it’s with her expertise and reassurance that I was able to ‘switch off’ to a degree, knowing that Alex was taking care of matters. Alex explained everything to me clearly so I knew what was happening and when, and she gave guidance with care and empathy. Highly recommend!

Family law support from Alex Wood - Professional, superb, empathetic!

Alex represented me in our child arrangements case regarding my two sons. It was a very tough time in my life being a working Dad with both of my sons living full time with me and being a victim of domestic violence. Alex has been very empathetic and professional throughout the case and has drawn her expertise and experience to draw the case to an efficient close. Legal support can be deemed very costly and it is always daunting to employ legal services when there is no cost certainty of how much you will eventually spend. Alex and the team were very transparent with costs and kept me aware of spend throughout the process. Due to Alex's experience she was able to close the matter with court during case management which halted me having to go through unnecessary hearings and spend money unnecessarily. Alex suggested consideration of the use of a specialist barrister to help the case, and the combination of the barrister and Alex was a superbly professional team who efficiently drew matters to a relieving and successful close. Have no doubt, you are in excellent hands with Alex.

We have used Melanie Bridgens service's on 2 seperate occasions. Both with the best outcome we could have asked for with regards our children. Melanie is very informative, listens and understood our position. She is knowledgeable and explained where we stood in a way we could understand. We would definitely recommend Melanie and if we find oursleves in the unfortunate position of needing a solicitor for our children again Melanie would be our 1st point of call. Thank you Melanie.

I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.

When you are dealing with delicate and emotionally charged kinship cases you need an empathetic, confident and supportive solicitor who knows how the process works in detail but can explain the law in simple English. We were very fortunate to commission Melanie Bridgen, Partner at Nelson's Solicitors who ticked all our 'boxes', was very professional, approachable and has an open communication style. Critically she was successful in achieving our desired outcome.

Dear Phil, Thank you so much for your review. Your comments are very much appreciated. Melanie enjoys acting for grandparents and other kinship carers – a role with children which can be overlooked but with the right legal advice can make all the difference. Thank you once again. We wish you and your family all the best for the future. Many thanks, Nelsons Solicitors

During a belligerent divorce my wife stopped me seeing my children with no valid reasons. I spent 4 months and thousands with another solicitor before moving to Nelsons and Melanie Bridgend. Less than 7 weeks later (all of which was waiting for the court date) and my contact has been restored back to what it was before the split, with a court order to support it. The result speaks for it's self yet add to that Melanie was very professional, always reachable and excellent in guiding me through the mine field lay before me makes for an excellent experience all round.

As Kinship Foster Carer’s, we needed to find a solicitor with the expertise on complex children’s proceedings to help us secure a better future for our grandson. We found a gem, when we contacted Melanie Bridgen at Nelsons Solicitors. In our time of need, she was pleasant, 100% efficient, and always kept us up-to-date with proceedings in our case. Melanie always returned our calls promptly, and was very clear and friendly to deal with. Certainly the best solicitor that we have found, she is outstanding. Once again big thank you, Melanie has made a difference to our lives as a friend and we shall always be grateful.

This will be our second time of requesting the services of Amanda Voakes. We tracked her down, as she had moved on from her previous law firm and can honestly say, that we made the completely right decision to do so! Amanda always demonstrates immense compassion, whilst dealing with such delicate / personal matters, which accompanied by her extensive knowledge and professionalism, (being second to none) make Amanda the only Solicitor that we would trust implicitly to work with. We would recommend Amanda without any hesitation whatsoever! Thank you so very much Amanda, for managing to achieve the unimaginable, in such record time for us on this occasion.

Very Professional, friendly Experience . Mandip addressed all our questions with clarity and demonstrated patience. She acted promptly to our emails and delivered replies quickly and efficiently . She is a very pleasant lady and nothing was too much trouble . Mandip gave us the Confidence to make several changes which we had not considered to be more appropriate for meeting our needs. We thought the Meeting Rooms were very modern, clean and bright and particularly liked the Refreshments offered. Thank you
