Bethan Tapper

Tagged solicitor Bethan Tapper

Bethan was invaluable when it came to guiding me through the complex procedures of divorce. Getting a financial order was essential and would have been extremely difficult without her help and support. I would recommend Bethan Tapper and Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice!

Leon Messam

Tagged solicitor Leon Messam

Leon Massan and his firm were absolutely brilliant. We had a really difficult experience with a different solicitor at the start, but Leon was completely different. His knowledge of family law was amazing, but what stood out most was how he used it – he was completely non-judgmental, took the time to acknowledge that I have autism, explained everything clearly in simple terms, and secured an outcome far better than I ever thought possible. He was humane, thoughtful and truly client-focused, putting my needs first every step of the way. I would recommend him and his firm to anybody and everybody. --- Thank you from all the family

Emily first spoke to me on the phone when I was looking for a solicitor and I could tell from her tone and words that she understood I was in pain and in need of help. She was professional yet human throughout. She helped me navigate difficult times and I was grateful for her honesty and guidance.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Colin - in fact, I have already passed his details on to others. He is highly professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. Colin is equally very approachable and always happy to answer any queries you may have. He has guided me through challenging times, for which I will be forever grateful. Colin explains everything clearly and works tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes. I felt I was in good hands every step of the way. Many, many thanks

I would like to thank Maxwell Hodge for their work, it’s been a difficult time and not the most straight forward of circumstances to navigate. The team have gone above and beyond in supporting and getting things to the end goal. I can’t recommend them enough.
