I found the advice given helpful and supported me through my case. I heard about the organisation from Local authorities who provided contact details of organisations

Ajantha handled my FLR(M) application as an unmarried partner, and from the moment she took it on she went through everything with me point by point. Nothing was assumed and nothing was left for me to guess at. Every time I contacted her she came back quickly, and the answers were never generic. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in the US and in Korea over the years, and what stood out here was that she responded to my actual situation rather than reciting the rules back at me. When something was unclear she told me what it meant for me specifically. There were several points where the online system threw errors, and more than a few where the problem was simply my own mistake. I know I made her job harder than it needed to be. She never once let it show. She stayed calm, told me what to do next, and made sure I did not panic about any of it. On more than one occasion she was still helping me well outside office hours. When the decision came through she let me know straight away, before anyone else, and she sounded as pleased about it as I was. That is not something I expected from a solicitor, and after months of waiting it meant a great deal. English is not my first language and immigration rules are hard to follow even in plain English. Ajantha made the whole thing manageable. I will be applying for an extension in a few years and I would not consider going to anyone else. Sincere thank you for everything, Ajantha.

Jackie Colbert is by far the best family solicitor on this planet she went above and beyond to help me with my problems and was always here to guide me along. She’s been like a good friend over the last 2 years and been there through tears and laughter and I can’t thank her enough for the support she as gave me. She help me gain so much and got me more than I was expecting honestly Jackie you are the best and i wish you all the best in the future

I had been struggling to find a local solicitor to arrange power of attorney for my father until a friend passed on Lucy's details. I'm so glad they did because it was an absolute pleasure working with Lucy, she went out of her way to help me and Dad before her holiday. I will definitely recommend BWK.

We had a relatively complex Powers of Attorney requirement which was completed in an efficient and accurate way. We were kept up to date with all the progress, and the process was explained to us in a clear and timely fashion.

My LPA application was in relation to my 101 year old mother. Even at her advanced age, her mental capabilities are remarkable, but age has reduced her physical abilities - so hence the need for an LPA. From my initial enquiry/discussion I received all relevant details with patience, courtesy and also in a friendly manner. Sympathetic interviews with my mother were carried out - always in a friendly way. The outcome is that the LPA has now been completed and registered the O.P.G. I am happy to endorse Howe & Spender.

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

I cannot thank Bethan and her family law team enough. From start to finish, the were professional, compassionate and completely child-focused. Family proceedings can feel overwhelming, but I always felt supported, clearly advised and fully prepared. Their dedication and expertise secured a Special Guardianship Order and name change for my son, giving him the permanence and stability he deserves. The outcome has changed our lives immeasurably. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing family court proceedings. Forever grateful.
