I was going through divorve and having a hard time with solicitors from the other arty. Paris Smith helped cut through the unecessary noise and back my corner. I was having daily panic attacks and waiting weeks for replies from the other firm, only to have to repeat myself. The proocess still tookj far longer than I imagined but I dont feel this was because of my firm, as they dealt with my replies promptly and chased the other firm to wrap things up.

I found the advice given helpful and supported me through my case. I heard about the organisation from Local authorities who provided contact details of organisations

Ajantha handled my FLR(M) application as an unmarried partner, and from the moment she took it on she went through everything with me point by point. Nothing was assumed and nothing was left for me to guess at. Every time I contacted her she came back quickly, and the answers were never generic. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in the US and in Korea over the years, and what stood out here was that she responded to my actual situation rather than reciting the rules back at me. When something was unclear she told me what it meant for me specifically. There were several points where the online system threw errors, and more than a few where the problem was simply my own mistake. I know I made her job harder than it needed to be. She never once let it show. She stayed calm, told me what to do next, and made sure I did not panic about any of it. On more than one occasion she was still helping me well outside office hours. When the decision came through she let me know straight away, before anyone else, and she sounded as pleased about it as I was. That is not something I expected from a solicitor, and after months of waiting it meant a great deal. English is not my first language and immigration rules are hard to follow even in plain English. Ajantha made the whole thing manageable. I will be applying for an extension in a few years and I would not consider going to anyone else. Sincere thank you for everything, Ajantha.

I want to say a massive thank you to Sam Bushell, Jo Foster and the whole team at BTR for their commitment to ensuring my mums divorce case was handled professionally and effectively. Thank you to all the team at BTR for their patience and thank you for reassuring us throughout the process. It has been a very difficult time for my mum, but having BTR on board has made her feel as though someone was in her corner and she is very grateful for that. Would 100% recommend!

I had Sonia representing me and she was amazing, always kept me in the loop with everything and always messaged me back when I needed to know something. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have been able to get through my court hearings. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my kids

I had been struggling to find a local solicitor to arrange power of attorney for my father until a friend passed on Lucy's details. I'm so glad they did because it was an absolute pleasure working with Lucy, she went out of her way to help me and Dad before her holiday. I will definitely recommend BWK.

We had a relatively complex Powers of Attorney requirement which was completed in an efficient and accurate way. We were kept up to date with all the progress, and the process was explained to us in a clear and timely fashion.

I had the privilege of having Simon Fisher/Partner at Gardner Leader, as my main solicitor throughout my divorce, and I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. Simon handled my financial matters with exceptional skill, successfully securing an agreement just ahead of the final hearing. His colleague, Rosie, managed the children matters case, which progressed to a final hearing and concluded with a very positive outcome. Simon was incredibly responsive, and consistently available—qualities that made a world of difference during such a difficult and emotional time. Whether by email or phone, his communication was prompt and clear, and he always took the time to explain every step of the process, answering all my questions with patience and empathy. His advice was always measured, thoughtful, and reassuring, giving me real confidence at every stage. Although the service was not the cheapest, the quality of advice, professionalism, and level of care I received made it entirely worthwhile. I truly felt supported by both Simon and Rosie—professionally and personally. Their calm, compassionate approach and legal expertise helped me navigate an incredibly challenging time with clarity and strength. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Simon Fisher and the team at Gardner Leader to anyone in need of expert family law representation. They are outstanding.
