I unfortunately had the experience of a very long and difficult journey through the court system following a challenging separation from my ex partner, through both public and private law proceedings, that I honestly believe I would not of been able to navigate through the minefield without the amazing support and guidance from Lawyers at Family Law Group in particular Rebecca Mahoney and Barrister Tony Woods who were both with me every step of the journey. From the start of my journey they supported not only the logistics of child proceedings, high standards of representation and knowledge in the law, but they offered support, reassurance, always giving me the strength to continue fighting which resulted in me finally being able to see my children after almost 2.5 years of proceedings and they never faulted in their professionalism, guidance and efficiency. In particular Rebecca became a support to which I felt more reassured in her presence in court and she would always explain what was happening and what some terminology meant if I didn’t understand - often going above and beyond changing her own commitments to make herself available on court dates often with very little notice. Tony’s knowledge and understanding was impeccable and like Rebecca understood the importance of consistency and routine for myself and made himself available to support teams call, meetings, and court dates, which having a familiar face, a good sense of humour and his expertise meant the world to me in the most of stressful and overwhelming situations. Tony is in my opinion by far the barrister there is out there! Within the family law group was also Johanna and Aimee who offered a great deal of knowledge and experience, completing a wide range of vital documents to support through all proceedings. Aimee was always available to support when needed and would guide me through processes and what happens next. From the very start of me visiting Family Law Group, you were made to feel welcome and the lady on reception in chesterfield particularly (apologies I’m not sure of her name) was always welcoming, kind and talkative. I will forever be in debt to Family Law for supporting me to have a relationship with my children and to finally hear my children laughter once more and having the ability to rebuild a future of memories. Thank you will never be enough to share my gratitude! There maybe a need for solisters in the future - and my first point of call will always be Family Law Group.

My previous solicitors really let me down I then moved to Nelsons and it was the best move I could have made Melanie Bridgen is absolutely wonderful she was professional understanding and always there when ever I needed advice she has been my support throughout the case I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for me and my daughter very very highly recommended

Andrew has supported me on previous occasions and, whilst he has not formally represented me throughout my recent proceedings, he has continued to provide invaluable legal guidance and support. My case has been particularly challenging. Throughout the Family Court process, Andrew took the time to walk me through documentation, sense-check correspondence from the opposing solicitor, and was even available should I have needed immediate assistance during court hearings. This was also the case through my financial remedy. One might argue that this is simply part of the job and that Foys should expect no less. However, Andrew consistently went well above and beyond what I could reasonably have expected. He not only provided sound legal advice, but also knew when the best course of action was to advise me not to respond at all, which was often just as valuable. He has always acted with the utmost professionalism. Equally important, his humour and wit have frequently shone through. During what was, at times, an isolating and overwhelming legal battle for a lay person, those moments of humanity made a real difference. It is something I will never forget. Andrew is a genuinely decent man, an exceptional solicitor, and a tremendous asset to Foys Solicitors. His experience, judgement and leadership are qualities that cannot easily be replicated. I understand that Andrew is now in the process of embarking on what I hope will be a long and enjoyable retirement. Before he does so, I wanted to place on record my sincere thanks, and those of my children, who now benefit from the security of a robust Child Arrangements Order.

From day one both Micheal and Darcie have been excellent. They will take time to talk you through the process, they also make themselves available to assist you. One example Micheal was on a weeks holiday and yet he still took time to answer are questions that we had, plus he always keeps us up-to-date with how the case was going. They are both very friendly people and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice.
