Outstanding legal advice and support.

I would like to thank Amelia Bohills and Blackstone Family Law, for all their help and support during my divorce process. Amelia had truly been an invaluable source of guidance and advice during this time, and without her insightful advice I doubt I would been able to have the successful outcome I have had.
Amelia worked tirelessly through some very difficult times for me, and always gave the very highest service and support to see me through those moments.
I would unreservedly encourage anyone who is looking for a family solicitor to approach Blackstone Family Law and especially Amelia to help them with their process.

Amelia - my champion

What can I say about Amelia that has not already been said? I can only liken her to being a caring rottweiler, showing empathy and compassion to you as her client whilst capitalising any inaccuracies or signs of weakness from her opposition.

Nobody wants to find themselves in a position of needing her services but her knowledge is second to none. You want her to have your back rather than facing her! She appreciated very quickly it was more than a fight over children or finances, rather just being fair and reasonable due to unusual circumstances.

Over the last 2 years, she has mentored me, delayed the process to my benefit, shown her natural caring and held my hand whilst I wobbled, combined with providing me the necessary legal armour and strength to go to battle time and time again by giving sound advice and a clear path.

It’s incredibly rare to find a solicitor who will just pop you a message saying “You ok” but that’s who she is. You are never just a number – a real person who needs someone on their side. I hope this gives anyone reading a small insight that when facing something emotional and incredibly scary, she protects you and shines the light at the end of the tunnel.

Very simply – thanks Amelia for being you

Finally! a law firm that genuinely has client's interests at heart.

I would like to thank Blackstone Family Laws, specially Amelia Bohills, for handling my divorce and complicated financial settlement case.

My case was being dealt with by another law firm but due to slow progression and out of frustration, I decided to change my solicitors. Without doubt the best decision i had made. As soon as Amelia took my case, my case started to progress smoothly and swiftly. At every stage of process, Amelia explained all the possible options to me in simplest way which helped me immensely in reaching the best decisions possible.

Throughout my case, Amelia was very caring, understanding and supportive of my situation whilst remaining extremely professional. She has outstanding level of knowledge which ensured me that my case was in safe hands. Her friendly and caring demeanor helped me remain calm and collective in the most stressful situations.

Amelia always had my best interest in mind which was so ensuring. She helped me find the best barrister to represent me during my court hearings which resulted in the outcome beyond my expectation. From the moment Blackstone Family Law took my case until its successful completion, Amelia and her colleagues handled my case as highest priority. Amelia ensured her availability at all time. She made me feel so comfortable to contact her as and when I had a question or needed support. She was so affable. The level of professionalism and personal consideration Amelia and Blackstone Family Law offered me throughout my case was simply outstanding and much needed considering my situation. I surely could not have asked for a better solicitor or a law firm to help me.

If anyone is looking for a law firm that seriously cares for its clients whilst providing highest standards of service with thorough professionalism, I highly recommend Amelia at Blackstone Family Law.

Thank you Amelia and Blackstone Family Law for all you have done for me.

Clean Break Order

I divorced in 2020 with no assets to split and was not mindful at the time of the risk of not agreeing a clean break order. I later became aware that, with no clean break order in place, my ex-spouse would have the ability to make a future claim against my assets and salary, even against those which I accumulated long after being divorced. Discussions with my ex-spouse about agreeing a clean break order broke down and at times it looked likely that I would need to pursue a costly and emotionally draining order through the courts. Blackstone Family Law LLP handled negotiations for me, helped me to understand the legal and financial risk associated with navigating various outcome-based scenarios, managed all of the paperwork and, importantly, made me feel like I had an advocate in my corner who understood the stress and worry that I was feeling through the dispute. With Sharon’s help, I obtained a Clean Break order, negotiated a win-win settlement with my ex-spouse which meant that we could continue to co-parent without ongoing animosity, and saved me a substantial amount of money by not having to pursue an expensive financial remedy order through the courts. I’m grateful to Blackstone Family Law LLP and would recommend them.

Phenomenal, knowledgeable and kind

Amelia is a phenomenal solicitor and someone you definitely want on your legal team.

Not only is she exceptionally knowledgeable in her field, meaning she is a force to be reckoned with in the court room, she has that rare ability to also be empathetic.

My case was unique which meant it was complicated. However, Amelia took the time to get to know me, understand the challenges and made sure I had the perfect barristers (who were equally as brilliant) so that I had the strongest team standing beside me when it mattered.

Her dedication to her clients, the attention to detail, and always going the extra step means you know that your case is important to her and that she is truly invested because she knows just how hard, emotive and important it is for you too.

Amelia was there at my toughest moments. She's seen me cry, she's laughed with me, and she was there when I leapt with joy after the final hearing.

She really is a special women. An unbelievably talented solicitor, and now someone I can proudly call a friend. Thank you for all that you've done for me - you made the impossible, possible.

Efficient and Caring

Amelia offers a refreshingly personal touch in a field often marked by formality and distance. Her approach transcends the typical solicitor-client relationship, providing a level of care that instils confidence and clarity despite complexity.

Her attention to detail is noteworthy, particularly in a profession where clients can sometimes feel overlooked or overwhelmed. As a mother, I appreciated the time she took to understand my unique circumstances. Amelia's honest advice, prompt actions, and responsiveness were a constant source of reassurance.

Her ability to combine professional expertise with genuine concern for her clients sets her apart. I confidently recommend Amelia to those in need of a solicitor who is not only highly competent but also truly empathetic. Her involvement in my case was more than just advantageous; it was a turning point in my life. Amelia doesn't just represent you; she stands with you, and her support is invaluable. She is a great solicitor and more.

Words can’t describe how grateful I am to Amelia Bohills for her support during my financial separation. I was at the point of giving up when she got introduced to me but her empathy and compassion saw me through the pain of divorce,

What can I say about this amazing angel? Amelia professionalism is top notch, extremely knowledgeable and very thorough when dealing with the other side. With this, I’m able to get what I deserve.

Using Blackstone Family Law services on both full time and on ad hoc basis, I can tell you that they will meet individual needs according to their budget and still be satisfy with your outcome. For this I’m so grateful.

I will keep recommending Amelia to people and I look forward to hear more of her future progress. Thank you Amelia.

I can’t speak highly enough of Amelia Bohills. Incredibly professional and diligent. Anything related to Child Arrangements isn’t exactly a pleasant experience, but Amelia was with me and supported me every step of the way to get the result I wanted. I can honestly say that without Amelia’s hard work, I would not have got this result. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position where you need similar legal assistance, I urge you to speak to Amelia. I’m very grateful for you hard work Amelia!

There is only one way to describe the service and support that was provided to me by Amelia Bohills in negotiating my financial settlement following my divorce and that is exceptional.

Amelia's legal knowledge, tenacity and professionalism, together with humour in the lowest of times, was both evident and abundant throughout the legal roller coaster of the negotiation. Both robust and empathetic, Amelia was able to relieve the stress and emotional burden from my shoulders leading to a fair and equitable settlement, which I otherwise would not have achieved.

I cannot recommend Amelia highly enough to represent you if you are faced with the trauma and challenges of a family breakdown that necessitate legal advice and intervention.
I will be forever thankful.
