I contacted Nelson’s on the recommendation of another client and was allocated Melanie Brigden. After the initial consultation I was more than confident that Melanie and of course Melanie 2 could handle this somewhat difficult case! Initially I went with a child arrangement order which both parents objected to but Melanie soon dealt with their objections and the order was given … I went for an SGO order as well and although it’s wasn’t granted didn’t feel it was anything to do with the lack of attention to detail by Melanie her hands were tied by social worker recommendation. This still didn’t stop Melanie pushing in court for the best outcome possible on the day .. I am totally happy my granddaughter gets to grow up in a safe , loving and stable future. I would recommend the two Melanie’s and employ them again in a minute .

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.

I had the unfortunate reality of having to deal with social services and court proceedings witch was made easier and more clearer by Sydnee and she also not scared to tell me how it was

I recently worked with Chelsea at Nash & Co for a family law matter, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and expertise she provided. From the very beginning, Chelsea demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved in custody and visitation issues, offering clear and strategic advice that consistently prioritised the best interests of my child. Chelsea’s communication throughout the process was exceptional—prompt, professional, and always attentive to my concerns. She took the time to explain every step in detail, ensuring I was fully informed and confident in the decisions we made together. What truly stood out was Chelsea’s ability to handle sensitive issues with both compassion and a firm grasp of the legal principles involved. She was not just focused on winning, but on achieving an outcome that was fair, sustainable, and in the best interests of my child. I would highly recommend Chelsea at Nash & Co to anyone facing family law challenges. Her expertise, combined with a genuine commitment to her clients, makes her a standout solicitor in this field.

Before speaking to Paul I had zero contact with my Daughter and my ex partner was making it impossible for me to see her, Paul was quick to take action and within a week I was seeing my daughter again. He made it clear from the start and was very honest about everything from expectations and costs I would highly recommend using him if you can as I have not doubt he is in high demand.
