Excellent Support

Alan provided clear communication at all points, and communication levels were excellent. Being able to directly email with questions and have a prompt response was really beneficial during this difficult time, helping put our minds at rest during an unknown process. He is well mannered and easy to speak to on the phone, providing honest thoughts on avenues to persue / not pursue even after the case has been closed with NFA.

Thanks to Alan and Ryan

I contacted Wells Burcombe at the beginning of the year in relation to varying/discharging a SHPO I had imposed on me in 2018. It was a 10 year SHPO which, being in my early twenties, was having a detrimental effect on my life preventing me from being able to have a normal relationship, finding a normal job and just generally having the feeling of having it always hang over me. I got in touch with Alan and arranged an initial discussion where I shared how much my life had changed since the offending period and how I feel it is no longer necessary to have the order in place with the intention of applying to have this varied to 5 years instead of 10 which would have been in line with the sentence I received in 2018. Alan and Ryan were both helpful in their advice and I didnt feel judged at all which is one thing I always fear when disclosing my conviction to another new party. We decided the best way to deal with the application was to wait until July when it had been 5 years and at which point we could make the application directly to the sentencing Court. They put together a witness statement on my behalf, with my input, along with a whole pack of information to supply the court to show how I had turned my life around, as well as finding relevant cases which were related to my case and could be used to show a precedent to support my application. Alan was quick to update me when I would check in to see how things were going and in December of this year we finally had the court case in which my SHPO was successfully discharged along with the notification requirements which were extended due to the length of the order. With the evidence supplied to the judge he commended me for the changes I'd made in life to be able to move on and agreed with the statements put forward by Wells Burcombe, there was no objection from the police force. I am so relieved that I can finally move on and put my past behind me, and although I could have made the application myself I feel that with the help of Wells Burcombe my case was much stronger than if I had gone it alone.

Thank you

The Solicitor dealt with my divorce in a compassionate, sympathetic and highly professional manner. The separation from my wife was emotionally draining but with her patience and understanding I was able to ensure the very best settlement for all parties and at the same time maintain unrestricted contact with my children.

Fantastic.

Wells Burcombe’s approach to my case was fantastic from the outset. I received an early reply to my initial enquiry and managed to obtain a prompt appointment. My main concern was how much it was all going to cost but I genuinely found that the firm helped me in this respect and that the advice I got allowed me to settle my divorce as amicably and as fairly as possible.

My solicitor's approach to my case was polite, intelligent and highly efficient. Divorce can be very tiresome and emotionally draining but she really helped share my burden.

Highly recommended.

Wells Burcombe was recommended to me to assist with my divorce. My solicitor was absolutely fantastic. She showed herself to be a tough opponent for my wife’s solicitor and a very hard negotiator. The outcome was fair and reasonable and she helped me avoid what could have been a bitter and costly battle over access to children and distribution of assets.
