A solicitor provides guidance on deadlines, evidential requirements, and procedural steps in court, and prepares or advises on applications, affidavits, and case management.

Sarah Ward

Tagged solicitor Sarah Ward

I cannot put into words how amazing Sarah is, I don’t think I could have got through the last year and a half without her. Sarah is always at the end of the phone and truly cares about you and your case. Her advice is fantastic and she will fight for what is right but also make sure you know the facts and what to expect. I have worked with solicitors in the past and never ever came across anyone like Sarah. You feel like you are a total priority and from the bottom of my heart anyone who is dealing with child arrangement orders and child matters you need Sarah because in situations where you feel like there is no end she will find that light and take no prisoners on her way. She is simply the best and the best decision I made was calling Sarah over a year ago. Thank you Sarah for everything.

Darren Young

Tagged solicitor Darren Young

Darren proved to be very professional, hard working and efficient while remaining human and empathetic. He was also clear and fair. Nobody can take your hand in these tough situations, but they can go at your pace, lay out the facts clearly and help you focus on the key issues. I felt that Darren knew his area of expertise, demonstrated competence so that I could trust him, and then I was able get on with matters at hand. It's a thumbs up from me. Thank you.

Gemma Cole

Tagged solicitor Gemma Cole

Gemma came onto my case half way through it. She took over from another solicitor who I didn't feel supported by and didn't feel the case was progressing. Whilst on my case gemma was extremely supportive and empathetic along side fighting my corner with the local authority and my ex partners solicitor. She got the job done when needed and was constandby pushing for more. Gemma always took the time to return my e mails and calls and never left me waiting. I do believe with out gemma supporting me with this my case would have ended up very different. She is excellent at what she does and deserves all the credit.
