Working with Jones Myers as my family law solicitor was one of the best decision I have ever made and I can't express enough gratitude. I was originally introduced to Jones Myers through my civil solicitors and I can honestly say I’m so grateful that they did! Liz Bell and Andrew Fox have provided an excellent service through was has been a really difficult time for myself and my children. From start to finish they have been extremely professional, thorough and yet very empathetic to the issues at hand. They have been amazing in supporting me through a difficult family court process. They provided clear advice and guidance which really helped me to clarify any issues I had around a particular stressful and troubling case. As a result of their excellent efforts we won the case I was awarded costs. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again to Liz, Andrew & all the team at Jones Myers! x

Zoe Hewines

Tagged solicitor Zoe Hewines

I would highly recommend Zoe, her professionalism, clear communication, and dedication throughout my case. From the outset, she provided straightforward advice and made sure I fully understood each stage of the process as my case wasn’t straight forward. Zoe always responds to queries and took the time to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to follow. I felt supported and well informed at every step, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier to manage. I can’t thank Zoe and her team enough for helping, listening and making sure I was ok when extremely stressed. Mel
