Ajantha Brabaharan

Tagged solicitor Ajantha Brabaharan

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.

Lucy Elizabeth Pankhurst

Tagged solicitor Lucy Elizabeth Pankhurst

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.

Melanie Bridgen

Tagged solicitor Melanie Bridgen

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.

Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.
