I contacted Melanie Bridgen from Nelsons Solicitors in Derby for advice in child arrangement. Her knowledge was more than I could ask for. She helped me through every concern I had and with her colleague Melanie Theakstone put together my wishes, contacted my ex, made sure that everything I legally wanted it was written down as clear for the court application as possible. They followed my case through CAFCASS and the final court order. Mrs. Bridgen had straight questions, and answers to everything. They took the process of my shoulder, and in 2 months I have received the final order from court (with Christmas included). I cannot be more thankful for their job and knowledge.

I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.

Rachael was great to work with, very professional, would highly recommend her. She was always very approachable and explained things very well.

Excellent service. Highly recommend Mary. She is very proactive and dealt with my case in a very sensitive way. This is my second time needing a family lawyer for my daughter, I just wish I had found her the first time around as liaising with Mary was a much better experience.

Francesca has been absolutely amazing! Through out the process she has always been proactive, prompt to reply, patient and knowledgeable. I truly believe Francesca made this difficult, long and stressful process as smooth and bearable as it could possibly get. She gave me the right advice at the right time and always had time to answer my endless emails full of questions. She has been absolutely mindful as to not incur unnecessary legal costs for me. Always put me as her client first and did whatever was in my best interests. Thank you Francesca and thank you Andrew Isaacs!
