Thank you for your services

"I contacted Sian Kalynka in Aug 2023 when I was falsely accused by my ex wife. After meeting Sian, I was much relieved and had peace of mind. She talked calmly and took up the case in short notice. She gave professional advice to me and finished the court case in just one sitting in my favour."

Julie Butcher, was honest, realistic and would listen to what I was looking to get out of the situation. Dealing with a divorce.is never an easy one, especially when the two parties aren’t getting on. Julie, was patient., willing and forthcoming. Her communication was transparent with regular updates.. Thanks to Julie’s hard working ethics, I am now in a position whereby I have my own home and am now able to see my children more. Thank you.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

We were very pleased with the excellent service from Sharon who was extremely helpful and friendly at all times.She regularly kept us informed at each stage of the procedure. When we were finalising the paperwork, both Sharon and Asif explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. The service from start to finish was excellent.

Legal advice for employment settlement agreement

I recently used the services of Asif Robbani from FGSA for an employment settlement agreement. Asif was very quick to respond and arrange an initial video call to review the agreement from a legal perspective. He talked through each clause, explaining it clearly. I would recommend Asif and Francis George Solicitor Advocate to anyone looking for professional legal advice.

I (unfortunately) had the need to use the services of Siân at Francis George. She has been fantastic and so helpful at every step of my process. She has communicated well, costs have been in line with what had been detailed and she has always helped me know what the options are, and what the implications may be of a cause of action. I cannot recommend Siân and her colleagues at Francis George highly enough - thank you.

Rewrite of will

Having had dealings with Sian previously on matters pertaining to my late Father’s will, I was very happy that Sian was appointed to help me rewrite my own. I find Sian extremely personable, straight forward and easy to deal with.

Patient, good advice

Sian listened carefully to my wishes, and gave me clear understandable options in a timely manner. I needed to send back the draft document several times because of errors of detail (eg spelling, facts, addresses), and because of a misunderstanding of a specific request. These were always dealt with promptly and professionally. That said, the address on the letter posted to me still had an inaccurate spelling.
