Harry Golding

Tagged solicitor Harry Golding

Cannot fault the advice and hard work Harry offered during the solving of divorce financial settlement and drafting the Consent Order. I had spent years going through legal trauma trying to solve complex (but turns out, very simple) matters, but always thwarted with a very 'tricky' ex partner. Having decided to change Solicitor Company I found Harry and what a gem find he was. He had dealt with a few ex partners like mine and said it called for a new approach. Problem solved and within weeks the matter was concluded in simple terms and passed by the Family Court all within 3.5 months. The actual completion of the agreement took a further 3 months, but the end result was that I was free'd from years and years of trauma and ludicrous expense and experience and battles conducted elsewhere, including FDA court, seemingly completely needlessly! Cannot recommend Harry Golding enough and I have pointed several people his way. Fabulous and huge gratitude, my life has changed so much due to his approach and the final outcome.

Michael Horne

Tagged solicitor Michael Horne

I was six month pregnant when Michael took my case and him and his team made things as easy as possible for me and got me the best possible outcome in court. He explained everything to me clearly so I would understand and was always happy to talk over email, phone or in person to discuss any worries I had. Not only is Michael the best at what he does he is a genuinely a very nice man.

Nicola Conley

Tagged solicitor Nicola Conley

No divorce is easy especially when children are involved. Sadly, my situation was a little more complex where matters of safety were a priority. Nicola guided me through the whole process professionally & with so much care. I completely trusted Nicola to get me to where I needed to be knowing mine & my children’s safety was paramount. I was able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing Nicola truly had my back. Every step of the legal process was explained thoroughly from protective orders through to the financial orders. Costs were advised from the beginning and not left to build up. I cannot recommend Nicola more highly. She held my hand throughout and truly cared about obtaining the best possible outcome for me & my children. I am so grateful to Nicola for all that she did for us.

Lindsay Preston

Tagged solicitor Lindsay Preston

I highly recommend Eaton Smith for family court matters. Throughout my case, the solicitors maintained regular contact with me and kept me fully informed at every stage of the process. They clearly explained what would happen next, which helped ease a very stressful situation. Lindsay was especially supportive and professional throughout. Due to the domestic violence-related issues involved in my case, she would often contact me outside of normal office hours when necessary, which I truly appreciated. Lindsay listened attentively, gave honest and professional advice, and always made me feel valued and heard. Thanks to their support, I successfully obtained a Child Arrangements Order – Live With and a Prohibited Steps Order. I am also continuing to work with Eaton Smith regarding my civil divorce and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing family law support.

Julie Summers

Tagged solicitor Julie Summers

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julie Summers and the whole team. Julie acted for me in what was a very long and difficult divorce involving several court hearings. I was very impressed with the way in which my case was handled and I felt reassured with Julie representing me. I was always given realistic and sensible advice and Julie also knew exactly how to handle the multiple challenges and difficulties we encountered from the other side. With 3 court hearings and a case lasting over 4 years it was a very costly divorce, however I never felt that the firm was encouraging unnecessary fees, I always felt that the firm were trying to keep my costs down and I was always advised me on the most cost effective way to do things. Response time was very good, and when there were occasions i needed a very urgent answer Julie did endeavour to contact me, which was appreciated. The Paralegal team and office staff are also very knowledgeable and helpful which also helps a lot. Many thanks to all.

Paul Linsell

Tagged solicitor Paul Linsell

The total of what is an emotionally challenging experience was helped very much by Paul Linsell and his team. Paul had a very realistic approach and took his time and patience to help through this matter, even when Boyes Turner were brought at the 11th hour they still made it happen sucessfully. I would also like to thank and voice my appreciation to Bethany Rowe who had both a very professional attitude and a great peronal attitude that helped me to stay calm and collected. After the hearing they were eager to hear the result and I felt not just from a professional legal stance but from a personal point of view. To summarise this team is a team you want in your corner Thank you ever so much again.
