Kate was attentive and understanding to my situation and gave me the appropriate advice and offered a solution to resolve the situation. Kate and her secretary Dawn, kept me informed at all times and provided specialist advice as and when required. I have recommended Kate to friends who have appointed her to act on their behalf.

Andrew Foulds

Tagged solicitor Andrew Foulds

I received fantastic service from Andrew during an extremely difficult time. He put my mind at ease at every step of the process and maintained constant communication, ensuring I was always fully informed. Having a solicitor who was knowledgeable, reassuring, and readily available to address my concerns made an incredibly challenging situation far more manageable. I would highly recommend Andrew without hesitation to anyone facing divorce proceedings.

I have greatly appreciated Lev Boreiko's approach to my case. He has explained the legal and decision making principles clearly and approached my questions with professionalism and patience. Sharing his honest opinions regarding the best approach given my financial situation has built a level of trust which leaves me feeling I would absolutely recommend Lev to others and certainly return for future matters if I am unfortunate enough to need to. Many thanks, Lev

Paula Caldwell

Tagged solicitor Paula Caldwell

I needed a Consent Order done for my divorce and I was fully explained what the process involved. It was easy to understand, and if any further work was required it was a straightforward process and there was no hidden/unexpected costs at the end. I would use again for any other legal matters in the future.

I used W&AS Bruce for my separation and divorce. I cannot thank Helen enough for everything she did for me and also Selina. Always kept me informed as to progress and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Helen and Selina to anyone who is looking for help, support and guidance through any difficult family matter.

Hannah Stanford

Tagged solicitor Hannah Stanford

From first contact, i received a friendly and professional and also sympathetic service. Everything was explained clearly so i understand the process. Regular updates and communication was received without it being unnecessary and at all times i was given professional and honest advice. Trust with solicitor's is sometime hard, but i was told what i needed to hear, not what i wanted at times. This is incredibly important as you are paying them, so easy to be led along and just get a big bill. It was a real pleasure dealing with them, they made a difficult situation much easier to deal with and i can not thank them enough for all their help and advice.
