Amber Parkinson - fantastic Family Solicitor

I cannot recommend Amber highly enough. From the very beginning, she handled my family case with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and compassion. Family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Amber provided reassurance, clear guidance, and unwavering support throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail, communication, and dedication were outstanding. She always took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt informed and confident at every stage. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family. Thanks to Amber’s hard work, knowledge, and determination, I felt supported during one of the most challenging periods of my life. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I will always be grateful for everything she did. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also kind, approachable, and truly invested in her clients, Amber is simply the best.

Professional, specialist guidance during difficult times

I cannot thank Lydia enough for the support, professionalism and reassurance she gave me throughout my divorce. She was incredibly knowledgeable, especially around coercive control and domestic abuse and always made me feel listened to, understood and supported during a very difficult time. Her guidance gave me confidence when I needed it most and I would highly recommend Wolferstans to anyone going through a challenging family situation.

Thank you

I am incredibly grateful to my solicitor Angela and the entire Wolferstans team for helping us secure permission for my oldest daughter to relocate to Australia with us as a family. This case involved years of tension, emotional strain, and repeated challenges from my daughters father, yet they handled everything with strength, strategy, and genuine care for my daughter’s wellbeing but most of all they listened. They fought for us when we were exhausted from fighting alone. Their expertise has changed our lives, and I cannot thank them enough.

Armed forces divorce

From the initial meeting I felt at ease with Catherine. She explained things thoroughly, informed me of all possibilities and gave me perspectives from the opposite side. She gave me sound advice throughout which was suggestive rather than directive. I never felt pushed or pressured into making a decision. Her replies to the opposing side were direct, sometimes with cutting edge. I regularly thought to myself "wow, shes worded that well". And in the end I feel the outcome was fair for all parties involved. I could have come away a lot worse off if it wasnt for Catherine's oversight.

Catherine will be very grateful for your kind words, and we’re pleased that her oversight helped achieve a fair resolution for all involved. Thank you again for trusting us with your matter. Best wishes, Wolferstans LLP.

Carrying out Probate correctly is not always straightforward, but Georgina explained from the very start what my options were, she guided me through each step and dealt with the process in a calm, practical and efficient manner. Would certainly recommend Wolferstans.

Great Solicitor!

I strongly recommend Julian Burrows in the Plymouth branch of Wolferstans. When I discovered that my stepmother had her Life Interest Trust in her own private wealth account, I was very concerned. Julian was able to oversee the setting up of a dedicated Trust which was very reassuring for myself and siblings. Julian is very knowledgeable about trusts and guided me through the legalities. He also has a very good pastoral manner and a good sense of humour!

Clinical Negligence case

Liz and her team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They supported me through a really traumatic sensitive experience and managed this in a really sensitive way at all times. They were professional and the communication at each stage was brilliant. When you are going through a case like this it can feel daunting and at times don’t always understand however Liz and her team were responsive and took time to explain each step along the way. I felt well informed and supported throughout and I genuinely couldn’t thank them enough. I would reccomend to all of my family and friends in terms of my experience.

I used Wolferstans both ten years ago and very recently and they have maintained a very professional and delightful team throughout.

Cannot recommend Wolferstans enough.
