I always felt very comfortable with asking questions no matter how small to understand a difficult process.
Communications very good and i always felt comfortable throughout the process. Having a friendly understanding solicitor who showed empathy and kindness helped me lots with my struggles to understand what was expected of me.

Peter Dadswell is a diligent and committed Family Lawyer. His endeavours in my case were astute, professional and fruitful. He recognised the importance and facts within in case quickly and we worked together to ensure my families safety, whilst the safeguarding & promoting our best interests. I couldn't recommend Peter highly enough.

So helpful

Sandra was great. She picked up my case after being dropped by my previous solicitors and did the job well. Communication was great and I could always contact her about anything and get a reply. Supported me and my family throughout. So grateful for all the hard work Sandra did on my behalf.

During a challenging divorce situation Sandra was patient when information wasn't always flowing at the desired rate. She was always available to advise and responded in a timely fashion when the time came for questions from myself. At each stage of this long process I felt I was receiving expert advice and achieved the best outcome in my circumstances.

Great Seevice

I have been involved in a long drawn out divorce since May 2021 and chose Leanne Barton to represent me. I can honestly say she is a first class solicitor and her knowledge has been invaluable to me. To say it has been a testing divorce is an understatement and Leanne’s calmness and communication skills have been first class throughout and would have no hesitation in recommending her moving forward. Thank you Leanne.
