Tagged solicitor Helen Lucking

I have used Napthens on a couple of occasions and have found them to be very friendly and efficient in all matters I have taken before them, especially with the personal help of Mrs Helen Lucking – an excellent solicitor with a very friendly manner. I would have no hesitation in using the firm again should the occasion arise.

Sarah Abbotts

Tagged solicitor Sarah Abbotts

I instructed Sarah Abbotts of Beswicks Legal to represent me during a very acrimonious divorce from my former husband. From the very first meeting, Sarah was kind, understanding, and incredibly supportive, and she took the time to guide me through each stage of the process in a way that made everything feel far less overwhelming. Throughout the case, Sarah was always professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out most was the genuine support she gave me during such a difficult time. At trial I secured a favourable outcome, and I do not believe I would have achieved the same result without Sarah representing me. Thank you, Sarah, you made an incredibly stressful and emotional period much easier to get through.

This was a delicate matter which was handled extremely professionally and efficiently, ending in a swift and speedy conclusion which I had not imagined would be the case.
