Michael Hicks assisted me during divorce proceedings and child act proceedings. He is extremely approachable, professional yet empathetic lawyer. My case was complex (divorce, family matters, contact of non resident parent and child) and dragged due to my ex partner being unreasonable. However I am confident that I would not achieve what I did without the help of well informed and extremely efficient solicitor. If I was to use legal assistance in the future Michael would be the first person to contact. Thank you

On learning I was being taken to court after my daughters father had cancelled mediation because he wasn't getting the outcome he wanted made me feel anxious, stressed and very upset. I met with Jackie who put it all into perspective and helped me understand that I hadn't done anything wrong and the situation was difficult. I explained that the request of additional time wasn't something my daughter wanted and that I was there for her. My daughters father moved the goal posts multiple time during the hearing and was very difficult to deal with. Having Jackie and a barrister's support during the whole process helped me cope with the situation and how they represented my daughter and me was second to none. They were straight to the point and kind and always acted in our best interest, which provided the best outcome for my daughter. I don't believe I would have got through it without them and I am forever grateful. Jackie and Tom thank you.

I’m extremely happy with Anesha’s work so far on a child arrangement order that she’s currently representing me for in court. She is extremely professional, very easy to speak to and gives great reassurance which I have needed a lot over the last few months. I would highly recommend her.

Graham Twist assisted me through a very difficult time in private family law proceedings. He always took into consideration both my child's welfare and my own. His knowledge and advice were outstanding, and he took the time to listen, explain his views, and support me throughout the process. Graham was remarkable at every hearing and provided exceptional support throughout my case. At my final hearing, Nicola, my barrister, was equally outstanding. Together, they gave me confidence and reassurance during an incredibly challenging time. Thank you again, Graham. I am truly grateful for all your help and support.

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your work throughout the matter of resolving the issues with my children and contact/care etc. The outcome has been successful and is more than I originally anticipated to achieve. Once again thank you for your assistance.

Needed a solicitor to accompany me to a meeting so I rang Hewitts they got the ball rolling straight away and gave me all the advice I needed

I used Devonalds Solicitors for my recent divorce and to resolve child access issues. Their knowledge and experience was evident in helping to reach a satisfactory outcome. In particular, they were a huge support to make a Court application for a Child Arrangements Order. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I cannot thank Terri Anson-Dean enough for her exceptional support, professionalism, and dedication throughout a very challenging family matter. From the beginning, Terri provided clear advice, practical guidance, and reassurance during what was often a stressful and emotionally demanding process. She was always well prepared, responsive, and committed to achieving a fair outcome. Her attention to detail and understanding of the legal issues gave me confidence at every stage. Thanks to Terri's hard work and persistence, we were able to successfully navigate court proceedings and reach a positive outcome. Throughout the process, she remained calm, professional, and focused on what was most important, particularly the best interests of the children and the fair resolution of the issues involved. I am deeply grateful not only for Terri's legal expertise but also for the care, patience, and encouragement she showed throughout. She went above and beyond to support me during a very difficult period of my life. I would highly recommend Terri Anson-Dean to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate family solicitor. Thank you, Terri, for everything you have done for me and my family.
