Suzanne Foster

Tagged solicitor Suzanne Foster

My ex wife came back for more 10 years after my original divorce settlement, exploiting a poorly written court order. Suzanne grasped the issue immediately and her advice and guidance was first rate, keeping me focussed on the issue. She reaffirmed I was in compliance with the order, dealing effectively with my ex wife’s solicitor. Her recommendation for and selection of counsel to represent me during the hearings could not have been better, surpassing my expectations. My ex wife’s application was struck out and dismissed, an order for costs was awarded in my favour and I finally have a full and final settlement in place. Thank you, Suzanne.

Kim Nielsen

Tagged solicitor Kim Nielsen

Kim Nielson was my solicitor with Hewitts. Without her help in resolving issues with my late wifes family, I would definitely have suffered financially and mentally. There is very little you can do to resolve issues between yourself and someone that just wants to make life very difficult for yourself. This is where you need proffessional help with a very good solicitor. Kim Nielson was that solicitor who certainly gave me all the assistance I needed to resolve as many issues as possible. Unfortunately proffessional help comes at a cost, but sometimes you have to look beyond the expense and get the problem sorted before it or they escalate beyond help. I would always recommend Hewitts Solicitors who employ the best possible help you may need.

I would like to give Brindley Twist Tafft & James LLP a 5 out of 5 for the outstanding service I received during my divorce proceedings. My lawyer was not only highly professional and knowledgeable but also supportive, approachable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. The communication throughout was excellent, and I always felt reassured and confident that I was in safe hands. I am truly grateful for the expertise and dedication shown, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of legal support.

Josephine Kirk

Tagged solicitor Josephine Kirk

Nothing but positive feedback for Blacks and in particularly my Solicitor (JK) who has guided me every step of the way through a very lengthy, challenging and, at times, ugly divorce. The professionalism, expertise and knowledge of how the system works combined with genuine care, empathy and great communication at every stage was just exemplary. There were many times that I just felt like throwing in the towel in sheer frustration with my ex but the support and counsel that I got from Blacks got me through this and we ended up with a very good outcome. Thank you J, you are awesome! 6 Stars.
