Sarah Buxton

Tagged solicitor Sarah Buxton

I have been involved in protracted complex children matters for almost 3 years which have recently come to an end thanks to the invaluable help of Sarah who has been there every step of the way. I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Sarah and Isabel throughout my case. From the outset they demonstrated outstanding legal expertise and also a deep understanding of the complexities and sensitivities involved in my matter. Sarah took every measure to ensure I felt protected and never left me to deal with difficult moments alone. Sarah was always mindful of the nature of my relationship with my ex partner and went above and beyond to safeguard my wellbeing at every stage. No detail was overlooked and clear, strategic advice was provided at each stage which ultimately led to the best outcome for us. Sarah's unwavering commitment, professionalism and genuine empathy and care made an incredibly difficult process much more manageable. I will always be grateful for everything Sarah has done for my child and I. Thank you for never letting me give up and for fighting tirelessly for what was best for my child- I couldn't have asked for a better team to stand by me throughout this process. I highly recommend Sarah and Isabel to anyone facing issues with complex children matters.

After a bitter break up with my ex partner and having no voice about my children's welfare and wellbeing, many people told me I had zero chance of being given a fair hearing regarding custody of my children. At first I was sceptical and didn't think I should bother, but I did seek advise and approached Owen, White and Catlin, I can honestly say that the work these people do is exceeded my expectations by miles, they were supportive, advise was made clear when I didn't understand and they were thorough throughout the whole process, The children now live with me and are thriving. A first class service !

Jacyn Richardson

Tagged solicitor Jacyn Richardson

Jacyn is an exceptional lawyer. She was the first person I contacted two years ago when I felt like my life was falling apart. From the start, she was professional yet very personable, and she made me feel truly understood. I knew I had someone by my side every step of the way, fighting my corner at a time when I really needed it most. After my case was over, I hoped I wouldn’t need her services again—but unfortunately, I did. When I contacted Jacyn the second time, she immediately remembered me and the details of my situation, even a year later. She was quick to get to work, listened patiently when my emotions ran high, and offered thoughtful, supportive advice. My childs best interest were always put first. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Should I ever need legal support again, I have no doubt that Jacyn will be my first point of call. I have not had much contact with Wace Morgan as a company as this second issue was short, however everyone has been friendly, polite and professional. I can’t fault Jacyn or anybody at this company
