Stacey Williams

Tagged solicitor Stacey Williams

Stacey has been incredible throughout. My case was particularly difficult and complicated, but Stacey handled everything with such professionalism and knowledge, while still being incredibly warm, caring and approachable. She listens, gives you the time you need and always makes you feel like you’re in safe hands. She is also refreshingly honest and tells you things as they are, which I really value. She went above and beyond for me throughout the whole process, and despite how difficult the case was, we got the outcome we wanted. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to have supported me through it. I genuinely can’t recommend Stacey enough. She’s fantastic at what she does and such a lovely person too.

Paul Reay

Tagged solicitor Paul Reay

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.

Melanie BridgenMelanie Theakstone

Tagged solicitors Melanie Bridgen and Melanie Theakstone

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 Firth

Tagged solicitor Andrew Firth

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.

Eilidh  DennyMartha  Thomson

Tagged solicitors Eilidh Denny and Martha Thomson

I am incredibly grateful for the expert legal representation provided by Martha and Edith. They are a phenomenal team of family lawyers who truly understand the complexities of child welfare and parental rights. Martha and Edith are not only highly professional and sharp in the courtroom, but they also show a deep commitment to the best interests of the child. Their communication is clear, their strategy is robust, and they have provided me with immense support and confidence during a very challenging time. If you are looking for dedicated, results-driven family lawyers in Glasgow, I cannot recommend Martha and Edith at Kee Solicitors highly enough.
