Kiran Bains

Tagged solicitor Kiran Bains

Jenna Oglesby was always willing to take my phone calls when available to do so and reply to emails regarding a purchase that fell through at the last minute, then a purchase I made whilst renting that property. Going through separation and divorce with three young children, securing property has never been more important or more stressful than this last year or so. I felt in such safe hands with Jenna and reassurances she gave me all the way through a very long process. Thank you without end.

Tom Killick

Tagged solicitor Tom Killick

I sought legal advice from Jacob and Reeves for family disputes and children arrangements. Tom Killick was amazing. I can not praise him enough. He was very professional and always had time for my case. He listened and understood straight away what i was seeking for my children. I couldn't survive this highly stressful time without Tom Killick's expertise. I would highly recommend anyone seeking legal representation to go to Jacob and Reeves. I couldn't fault them at all. By far the best solicitor practice and solicitor I have ever known.

Merlene George

Tagged solicitor Merlene George

I had a 30-minute fixed-fee family consultation with Merlene online to discuss considerations around an amicable separation and divorce. Merlene was professional and helpful; she listened well and was calm and clear when explaining the process and legal considerations. She promptly followed up with attendance notes. I came away from the call feeling calmer, more informed and reassured as result.
