A false economy

I spent several months being advised on my divorce financial settlement by Fullers, but eventually moved firm. I had hoped to see someone local to where I live in Norwich and, although they say they are based in Norwich, I was allocated to lawyers who work elsewhere and never offered an in person meeting. In retrospect I feel this is very important in a divorce case. Online meetings often had very poor reception and I could hear myself talking back even after numerous attempts. Where matters are emotionally difficult, it just isn't the same as seeing a lawyer in person.

Fullers said they would do things in the most cost effective way possible, but for me, that seemed to mean using a para legal to do a lot of my work, which was then also looked at by a solicitor if necessary. Both the solicitor and para legal were very nice people, but I often found there were mistakes eg in spelling, grammar, or more serious factual errors like mentioning "domestic violence" where the correct term was "domestic abuse". There were sentences they wrote in letters that did not make sense sometimes and I just lost my confidence in the team. Having to make corrections costs money to the client as each email or phone call was charged for.

This was not helped by people being off sometimes when I was not told they were going to be off- so I would suddenly find another lawyer was dealing with my case, who inevitably had to be brought up to speed. At one point the advice given by the substitute lawyer was very pessimistic about my prospects of success which was extremely stressful for me; this was later looked at again by the main lawyer, who revised the advice, but only after I had pushed for it to be reconsidered after speaking to a retired family law judge who is a friend of mine.

In addition, I did not feel that leadership was taken in progressing matters. My husband's solicitor is very difficult to deal with, but I felt that no-one was suggesting a course of action when nothing had been resolved for months. In the end I felt a fresh approach was required with someone more bullish handling my case and so I have moved to a well-known, local firm. I straight away had a meeting in person and a course of action was suggested to resolve things- I am feeling much happier now. I am dealing with one lawyer all the time and she is efficient with her time, and providing very clear advice. She is used to a case like this where we are arguing against a 50-50 division of assets and is not fazed by it. I think she has about the same PQE as my Fullers lawyer, so it isn't about years of experience but the fact that the work is high quality and not being done by a para legal. It is not helpful to me to have changed lawyers in the middle of proceedings and I wish I had begun with the better known firm from the beginning.

My impression is that the work Fullers did cost me more than if I had instructed a more expensive solicitor from the beginning. I appreciate that some fees were clocked up simply chasing my husband's solicitor for an answer, but whether to do this is also a judgment call. In the end I feel it was a false economy to go for a "cheaper" firm.

I also want to say that I was not asked for any feedback from Fullers after leaving the firm. I have had to search for a way to leave online feedback. I suspect that they send feedback forms to clients they think are happy, hence the 4.9/5 approval rating online, but those who have left are not offered the opportunity to comment. I am not saying that they do not do good work for most clients, but I suspect there may be unhappy people out there who have not persevered in trying to give feedback (no doubt because they are already occupied with trying to sort out their divorces!)

In additioin, when I came back in to edit the review and add this last point about feedback, all the negative adjectives have disappeared - I can only click on positive adjectives! Pretty strange..

Initial meeting and follow up meetings

After having a dissapointing experience with my previous law firm, I am delighted to be working with someone who seems to finally “get it”. I really feel like Kerry has my back here and is looking to represent my best interests. She has listened to me and taken the time to ensure she gathers the information to really understand what has been happening and enable us to work as a team to present the best possible case we can. I also feel confident that Kerry will tell me the truth of her legal expertise and opinion and not just what I want to hear. I feel like I am definitely in confident, competent and professional hands!

Both Teena and Sophie make a highly stressful situation easy to understand, and they are logical in their approach. Teena has a wealth of experience, and she is relatable, empathetic and professional. I value her judgement and guidance. She offers sensible advice, and the beauty of this firm is that she delegates accordingly - which helps with costs. She is a real pleasure to deal with and i would always recommend her for future business. Sophie is a very promising asset to this firm - she is professional, friendly and relatable, and diligent.

We made the right choice.

A professional solicitor thoroughly studied my case and valued my opinion. She is approachable and we discuss things; if I disagree about something, she tries to explain the law to me for the best results. Sometimes, I feel as though it's her case, as she is a very organized individual. She chased the case with the other solicitor, and because of her massive effort, we won the case for the best interest of my kids.

From the moment I contacted Fullers they were professional, knowledgable and made me feel at ease with the court process. Anjani was not only efficient but also showed a human caring side as well, which is important when dealing with sensitive matters relating to children. I would recommend their services to anyone.

Outstanding Support

Throughout what was inevitably a very stressful and in the end protracted process for all parties, Reena was fantastic.

Both professional and personable, a difficult situation was eased and I felt like I had someone in my corner at every stage. Sensitive and a good listener at times, direct and an experienced guide at others.

Thank you Reena

Recommend highly - thank you Kerry

I recently had a consultation with Kerry about my likely separation. I was nervous about being able to explain my situation in the time we had and worried that I would not understand or even receive the advice I needed to make the right decisions. But Kerry was amazing, immediately understood the issues and gave me some superb advice. This included practical as well as legal advice and she also made me laugh which I really valued. I will be coming back for further help once I am ready.

I had the pleasure of working with Reena Bhanderi for my divorce case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, Reena was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, guiding me through what was a very challenging time. She took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, always ensuring that I felt informed and supported.

Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome for me was outstanding. Reena was always responsive, and her calm and reassuring approach made a difficult situation much easier to manage. I am extremely grateful for her expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a solicitor.

Thank you, Reena, for your excellent work!

I recently have used Fullers law for some urgent advice and had done so last year too. Helped me make some big decisions. The lawyer this time was really good, Kerry Read. Very clever but made things simple. All the people I have dealt with are very helpful and help take the stress out of horrible situations. Lisa not my real name for perhaps obvious reasons in my situation but I would recommend these and Kerry to you if you need help

Amy Chesterfield - Fullers Family Law - Outstanding Service - Highly recommended.

Amy worked tirelessly on my complex divorce case which involved my adopted son and adult disabled step daughter.

From the outset, guiding me through the minefield of paperwork in family court, allowing me to secure a shared lives with order for my son, through to dealing with my extraordinarily complex financial matters which included the division of a Police pension, Amy delivered clear calm advice and strategy.

The result and outcomes were beyond my expectations. This has allowed me to move forward with my life and once again find happiness and look forward to the future.

I cannot recommend Amy's council and experience more, an absolute credit to the family law profession.

Thank you so much for everything,

Neil Curran.

Have recently gone through a divorce, Fullers handled my case. I had a free initial consultation, in which the process was clearly laid out for me so I decided to use their services. The solicitors I spoke to were very professional and understanding of my circumstances, and the divorce was finalised smoothly. Highly recommended if you ever find yourself needing legal assistance

I used Fullers law recently to deal with my finances in my divorce. The solicitor subecca sheikh was very understanding and listened to what I needed. She was in continuous contact with me updating me on my case, I felt at ease with her and would highly recommend Fullers law. I cant thank subecca enough for all that she has done for me.
