Rebecca Gardiner

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Gardiner

Rebecca made a difficult situation easier through her fair, honest and friendly approach. I felt I had a strong and supportive advisor in my corner as my wife and I worked through an amicable divorce settlement. I was tested on a few occasions and Rebecca's wisdom and firm advice (at times) held me to account so I, as did my wife receive a fair split based on our different situations. Rebecca was always quick to respond and went above and beyond with follow-up points when finalising my case..

Tagged solicitor Katy Taylor

The service was excellent. The Power of attorney came through without any hitches. We were informed from the start about the pedestrian pace of the wheels of officialdom, and received updates at every stage of the process.

Deborah Bailey

Tagged solicitor Deborah Bailey

Deborah was a pleasure to deal with honest and upfront in regards to my divorce and the pitfalls I had to face, her professionalism shone through from the moment I met her (previous experience had). I highly recommend Gowen and Stevens especially Deborah Bailey whom I can only praise. I give a special mention to the other voice behind the phone Caroline whom was always helpful, pleasant with nothing being a problem I would say you spoke with a smile. Thankyou both for your help.
