Zara Prentice worked on my complicated divorce and helped to try and keep me calm during the most stressful of times. She was human, respectful and very hard working.
Highly recommended. I cannot thank Zara enough.

Matrimonial case

I was recommended to this law legal company. My point of contact was ZARA who kindly took my case where she studied my case and help me to pull through successfully. She was extremely supportive throughout. Her responses were prompt as well as very thorough.
ZARA is very full of knowledge in her field. She did not cause any delay in my case. She takes care of her clients and takes pride in her job that she hold.
I was very fortunate to have her come my way.

Essential navigation

Throughout my divorce, Paul provided the guidance and support to essentially navigate the process. From the start, Paul was very clear in managing my expectations and as such, the whole process has been done quickly and efficiently .

Wow!
What can I say.
Professional kind and caring advice from start to finish through a very stressful lengthy process.
Zara initially handled my case then Paul took over and very kindly but assertive took my case even when I was at the point of giving up, he guided me through.
He delivered what was promised and I would not hesitate in recommending Prentice Family Law to anyone going through this difficult time.
Totally in awe of their commitment and dedication!!

Execllent from Prentice Family Law

I worked with Paul and Sarah at Prentice Family Law. My wife unexpectedly left the marriage. First, Paul listened to my needs, rather than try to persuade me to go forward with more protracted methods of financial disclosure. They were able to agree a draft finanncial consent order, between the two parites within 6 weeks. Paul and Sarah work so hard, beyond the normal hours of 9 to 5. Often Paul would answer questions in the evening and at weekends. I cant thank them enough for the attention they gave me, and for the peace of mind going forward.

Child legal services

I worked with Zara to get child custody of my daughter during the COVID lockdowns. Although Zara was available and often did her job well, I found she was not very clear at explaining the complexities of the legal system to me and I often ended up confused as to our approach.

I was also not particularly impressed with the barristers Zara brought on, one of whome had internet issues during the hearing, which went down badly with the judge. The second barrister was better but very expensive.

From my initial consultation with Paul through to the completion of my divorce, Paul was highly responsive, efficient and easy to work with. I felt confident at all times that he was on top of my case and that no stone would be left unturned. He is also extremely sensitive to cost and very transparent with billing which helped hugely with budgeting. I would highly recommend Prentice Family law.

I would like to extend my thanks to Paul Prentice on getting me through what has been a very long and tiring divorce settlement. Paul's ongoing tireless dedication to my case got us the best result that was needed. He has been amazing and his experience, expertise and care has undoubtedly got me through this most difficult and stressful process. He has been on hand at a moment's notice, during weekends and even whilst away on a family vacation, ensuring I was ok and readily available to deal with pressing matters. I am so grateful and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much.

I found Paul to have a very professional and dedicated approach in achieving the best possible outcome for me  in a difficult personal scenario . He took a strategic and also detailed approach to ensure a positive result .  Paul was very personable, pragmatic, diligent and well balanced in his views and an excellent communicator which enabled me to get the best possible outcome when I went through a divorce.  I have since recommended several of my friends to Paul and all have received positive outcomes with his thorough and professional approach  ."

Paul was excellent from start to finish. He supported both personally and professionally. He was very clear with his advice, extremely knowledgeable on the law and highly experienced. I really feel he went above and beyond with his service and direct engagement. He took a very sound and balanced view. His fees were fair and I could not recommend him highly enough.
