Excellent.

I can highly recommend Henrietta for her rock solid professional advice and support through yet another difficult time and I will be staying with her long term. At all times she was the calm, respectful, thorough professional we needed and her meticulous attention to the detail of our case and the best possible outcome for my son was greatly appreciated.

Really supportive, expert and affordable solicitors

Family First have been so helpful. They are down to earth and expert. They completely understand the dynamics of coercive control. This was central to my case. They operate a pay as you go model, which was essential as I wasn't able to fully instruct a solicitor and allowed me to take advice on an ad hoc basis, while instructing a barrister on a direct access basis. Their advice was instrumental to the success of my case. They also accepted instructions from me at the very last minute as timelines shifted, without complaint and still doing a brilliant job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

George Sayers. Family first solicitors

I contacted family first for advice and I hired George Sayers to represent me in a hearing, he did an amazing job. Family first are great for advice and next steps to take. Communication is very easy also. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommended

I am writing to share my highest praise and heartfelt thanks for the exceptional service provided by Ursula and her team. After ten years of navigating the legal system and engaging with various legal experts, I can confidently say that this firm offers the strongest, most reasonable, and most transparent fee structure I have ever experienced. Their Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) system has been incredibly helpful and acts as a vital shield against financial abuse. In situations where an opposing party attempts to use legal proceedings to inflict financial strain, this payment structure ensures complete financial security and peace of mind, making it an invaluable resource for anyone in a similar position. The quality of the legal guidance provided has been excellent throughout. The advice is always realistic, backed by a deep and thorough knowledge of court proceedings, and the team is brilliant at proactively bringing potential hearing scenarios into our conversations so there are never any surprises. Furthermore, the clarity of communication is outstanding. Complex legal frameworks and perspectives are always shared through simple, clear explanations, and difficult questions are broken down accurately and logically. What truly sets this firm apart, however, is the sheer professionalism and responsiveness of the team. They are invariably kind, supportive, and warm. Facing stressful situations is incredibly daunting, but their compassionate approach makes an enormous difference and makes the entire process vastly easier to manage. I would feel entirely confident recommending [Lawyer's Name] and the firm to anyone requiring expert, empathetic, and financially fair legal representation.

I went to Family first solicitors initially for advice and they were great. My solicitor George Sayers was amazing, I hired him for a hearing and he did a very good job. I would definitely recommend. They respond quickly with email and easy to contact through the phone too.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thoroughly recommend Family First Solicitors

When you get married, the last thing you ever think is that you'll get divorced. But after years of unhappiness I finally built up the courage to do just that. What should have been a straightforward process got dragged out far longer than was necessary and eventually had to be resolved in court. George at Family First was fantastic from the very beginning. He listened, he always explained everything to me, answered numerous questions, was always quick to respond, and guided me through the whole process until it was finally resolved. Thank you so much George. I would thoroughly recommend Family First solicitors to anyone having to go through the difficult journey of divorce.
