Liz Semple

Tagged solicitor Liz Semple

I had a great experience from start to finish. A highly professional and friendly service. I received regular updates from Liz on how proceedings were going, and could relax knowing everything was carried out to the highest standard and any questions I asked were answered straight away. What could have been an unpleasant divorce went effortlessly.

Pooja Patel

Tagged solicitor Pooja Patel

I found Pooja Patel not only extremely professional but also a very understanding person who explained everything clearly and gave good advice. Although it should have been a straight forward divorce Pooja has been extremely helpful in dealing with my wife and her solicitors who have delayed matters by not doing what they agreed to do within their timescales and as a result has led to delays. I would strongly recommend Pooja, should you need her services.

Brian Fraser

Tagged solicitor Brian Fraser

After 18 months of torture following a horrible separation and floundering around with a number of awful lawyers clearly only interested in getting paid I stumbled across Brian at Elite Law. As with most lawyers I got the one hour free intro phone call but I knew I was on the right track when the hour was well and truly over but he still called me back to finish the story and I genuinely felt that he heard me and understood what I was going through. In the following days he came back to me with a plan and reassured me that he knew what to do and this turned out to be true. Over the following months he continued to reassure me that my position was solid and explained the law and his plan for what to do. He communicated well despite probably having many other clients and the advice he gave me turned out to be exactly the right thing to do which ended with a far more positive result than I had reconciled myself with when we first spoke. I would never have thought to do what we did but it got me the right result and I am forever grateful. Brian was part therapist at the beginning and part friend at the end and it was worth every penny.

Cannot speak highly of the team at Rothera Bray Beeston, who helped me along to get my issue resolved. Special mention goes to Jack English, who showed incredible resilience, along with a large dose of patience whilst guiding me along the way, so that the correct result was obtained. Would have no hesitation in recommending this practice for whatever legal service you require. Thank you once more!

Excellent and professional service. Mrs Alicia Nesham helped us with our LP of Attorney explaining all aspects in a clear, understandable and personable way. Also contacted our previous solicitors and went beyond what could have been expected without being asked, very impressed with the service given.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

We were very fortunate to have been advised and represented by Jen during a recent case. Undoubtedly without Jen the outcome would have been less positive. We were constantly informed and updated of our situation during the whole process. You could clearly see Jen was respected greatly from the other legal professionals and this provided a great deal of confidence to us as well as a calming influence that is sometimes needed during such delicate discussions and negotiations. We ultimately received the best possible outcome with our case and cannot thank Jen enough. Jen is Tenacious but at the same time a calming influence. We always felt looked after is how i would best describe our experience. Ultimately the most professional service we could have hoped for!

Andrew Foulds

Tagged solicitor Andrew Foulds

I came to Andrew after spending years in family court with another firm, trying to relocate to another country. We had been going round in circles with no progress. As a last resort, I contacted Andrew Foulds and within just a few months of him dealing with the situation, everything was finally resolved. We’re now happily living abroad. I really appreciate Andrew’s straight-talking approach and the way he gets things done.
