Asia Razaq-Miah

Tagged solicitor Asia Razaq-Miah

I had a consultation with Asia regarding a child related matter. She handled the matter compassionately and professionally. She explained the law articulately and provided very clear next steps. Most importantly, she was honest regarding the viability (or not!) of the options available to me. It’s on this basis that I have decided to proceed with Fullers Family Law. I highly recommend Asia for an initial consultation even if you are sure on next steps!!

Michael Tucker

Tagged solicitor Michael Tucker

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.

Chelsea McVicker

Tagged solicitor Chelsea McVicker

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.

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 .

Vicky Withers

Tagged solicitor Vicky Withers

We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and guidance Vicky Withers provided to us as foster carers during one of the most challenging decisions we’ve ever experienced. From the very beginning, Vicky was not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate, patient, and truly committed to the well-being of both the child in our care and to ourselves as carers. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt heard, supported, and equipped to navigate a very complex situation. Vicky’s calm and reassuring presence made all the difference during some of our most difficult moments. Vicky's ability to advocate effectively, while maintaining empathy and balance, was a source of strength for us. Her guidance helped us stay focused, grounded, and confident in our role, even when things felt overwhelming. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Vicky by our side and cannot thank her enough for her dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt support.
