Family first solicitors

I was towards the end of my divorce. I paid under a fixed fee payment spread over two seperate payments for Rebecca and Stella from family first to write my consent order , raise a D81 , and produce a net effect schedule and present these to court. I had come to a point in my divorce and so had my wife where the ongoing stress had put us in the position of just wanting a resolution. Rebecca and Stella provided this solution after receiving instructions from me. They did as I asked and got it done quickly! The material was presented to the judge and they signed off on it. My wife and I were delighted with this outcome and very relieved that the worst of our divorce was over. The communication was good throughout and I believe family first solicitors are mindful of the financial strains that a divorce brings. I would not hesitate to recommend family first to anyone but I do feel I was lucky with the team I chose however all the solicitors at family first will follow the same set of rules when it comes to dealing with clients. Hope this review helps you make your decision! Best wishes Steve Yoxall

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.

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.

I had a great experience at family first solicitors. Rebecca and Stella completed the work to bring my consent order and other relevant documentation to court quickly and efficiently and did it for a very reasonable cost. I will continue to use family first until my divorce is completely finished.

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.
