Family Court - Lizzie Cross

Lizzie recently represented me in family court. Leading up to the hearing, Lizzie was proactive, always one step ahead and knowledgable in her approach. Lizzie consistently offered clear advice and continually communicated anything ‘need to know’, so I wasn’t surprised by anything during the process. I would recommend Lizzie highly.

Incredible service start to finish

After approaching the Lanyon Bowdler reception regarding family law l was swiftly greeted by Staci Robinson. I had a short discussion with her and felt a huge weight had been lifted, I was put at ease very quickly. She was extremely professional when gathering all of the relevant information whilst continuing to make me feel valued. Staci ensured that I was aware that my case would not be quick, she was upfront and honest throughout. Staci and her team were always in contact with me through the duration of the 12months that my case took. My case was for visitation of my two children which were being withheld from me. At first instance I did not know my rights as a father and waited a long time before reaching out to Lanyon Bowdler. My advice to anyone reading this that’s in a similar position get in touch with Lanyon Bowdler ASAP when facing these issues. My case could have been a lot quicker if I knew what I do now which is all thanks to Staci and her team. I would also like to add that both the receptions I dealt with in Hereford were approachable, friendly and extremely helpful.

Have used this company three times. First time for a house sale and purchase and service was OK. Second time for advice on daughter's divorce. Paid £360 for a 30 min chat that was totally useless and unhelpful. Final and last time was for another house sale and purchase and experienced a mixture of carelessness and incompetence - wrong documents, wrong cost figures, wrong insurance policy sold etc etc.. Never again . Avoid

Professional, friendly legal advice

From my first phone call to the completed documents, we had a first rate service and experience. David Pugh was helpful and was able to clarify legal points making it easier for us to decide how to proceed. We cannot thank him and his team enough for making the preparing of our wills and LPA’s a smooth process.

As a first-time buyer, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but Saffia and Eloise at Lanyon Bowdler were amazing throughout the whole process. They were always friendly, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions, no matter how small. They explained everything clearly and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much easier. I always felt supported and kept informed. I can't thank them enough for all their help and would highly recommend Lanyon Bowdler, especially to anyone buying their first home!

A representative from Lanyon Bowdler LLP responded to this review

Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback. We will ensure Saffia and Heloise are made aware.

They were recommended by another solicitor for specialist probate work. They never returned my call, obviously not interested in new business at the moment. It would have been polite to just say they're too busy rather than promise to have a lawyer ring back then not ring.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however, we are unable to trace a call from you. If you'd like to contact us via the number on our website, or by completing a form on the site, we will get back to you.

I’ve used Saffia Keegan twice now once for purchase and once for selling. I can’t believe how fast and efficient she is - I have dealt with other solicitors in the past with no response for weeks which can be really frustrating. Saffia and Heloise are both really quick to respond and just get to the point very quickly. She made the process so easy and everything was done online - no messing about back and forth with papers getting lost. In 2025 this is the way things should be done! Thank you so much Saffia & Lanyon Bowdler team. I will never use anyone else! Highly recommend 😊

We used Lanyon Bowdler for our house sale because we wanted a top quality service rather than to feel like we were lost in a pile of other house sales. Saffia Keegan gave us exactly this: She was proactive and communicative at all the right times, answered queries readily and quickly and we definitely recommend. A stress free process.
