Graham Twist

Tagged solicitor Graham Twist

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.

Ian Brunt

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt

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.

Sian Roberts

Tagged solicitor Sian Roberts

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.

Anesha Pavaday

Tagged solicitor Anesha Pavaday

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.
