Outstanding Support in Securing My Special Guardianship Order

I cannot thank my solicitor enough for the incredible support and professionalism she showed throughout my Special Guardianship Order (SGO) journey. From the very beginning, she was compassionate, understanding, and always made me feel reassured during what was an emotional and stressful process. Her knowledge of family law was exceptional, and she explained everything clearly so I always knew what to expect. She was thorough, responsive, and always had my best interests—and the child’s wellbeing—at the heart of everything she did. Thanks to her dedication and hard work, I was successfully granted the SGO, and I truly believe I couldn’t have achieved this outcome without her. She went above and beyond at every stage, and I will always be grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing support with family law matters, especially Special Guardianship Orders. She is not only an excellent solicitor but also a genuinely caring person.

Incredible amount of care and professionalism

I was recommended by someone who could not speak more highly of Sydnee, who was in the same situation I was in and left without hope until Sydnee got involved in his case. Sydnee took on my case and gave an outstanding amount of effort that was professional but understanding of my situation, while still offering care for my mental health. I would not have been able to get the outcome I did if not for Sydnee, nor would I be in the position I am in now. I am and always will be grateful for the efforts she provided and level of care.

Well Presented solicitor.

From the first meeting in the office, to the last netting in court, a first class service was provided by my solicitor and recommended Barrister. Immaculately presented, very knowledgable and a friendly approach to what has been a very testing time.

Social services v a loving family

I don’t know where to start with this. Our nightmare ended on the 5th November 2025 but it has taken me this long to be able to rwrite this as I have not been dealing with the after effects of the whole thing. What I will categorically say is that Amanda (my man of steel) was the best and I believe there is no better. She knew me from day one and understood how I needed to be dealt with. A true professional in every aspect and although I was completely innocent I don’t believe anyone had my back like Amanda did. For that I am forever grateful. Thank you Amanda.

Very professional from start to finish. This was a complicated family matter, that Melissa Portlock took on. Melissa informed me of every step and took time to listen to me also. If you are looking for a solicitor to represent you in family matters then I very highly recommend Melissa.

Lovely and helpful solicitor

My experience of working with solicitors is very limited, but after a recent hospitalisation, I realized I urgently needed to make a will. I was rather nervous about the whole thing, but Maria was helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my questions, and soon put me at my ease. She was very caring too, checking at intervals to see if I was comfortable or needed a drink and nothing seemed too much trouble. I would highly recommend her to anyone else finding themselves in need of a solicitor, Thank you, Maria, your kindness and helpfulness were greatly appreciated, and your professionalism with a personal touch made all the difference.

Excellent service

The service we received was excellent. Joanna listened and explained legal issues with warmth and interest for our particular needs. Everything about the service was so good, every communication prompt and helpful. We had actually approached another local solicitor’s practice before finding JWP and found the interview to be a bit confusing and ‘standard’ rather than personal, we almost gave up trying to make the changes we wanted. We highly recommend Joanna and the practice.

End of an era

I could not be anymore greatful and thankful to Melissa and everyone at JWP. The support was beyond brilliant, really welcoming and put my nerves right at ease, guiding me through the process step by step. I would highly recommend the firm and Melissa. You can tell these people actually care for the role that they play and to anyone that needs help during difficult times. My process has now, hopefully finally come to an end and with that I will take this experience and knowledge with me. Truly, thank you!

I recently had a complimentary call with Joanna Longfellow at JWP. It was about a complex matter regarding wills and probate. Within minutes I felt at ease with her warm and friendly manner yet she is very good at explaining technical details in a simple and easy to understand way. I learned a lot more from this one single phone call than from any other solicitor that I have ever dealt with. She is a true professional.

Nowadays it is so refreshing to come across someone who didn't try to exploit a situation for personal gain when taking the time to offer a few words of excellent advice would suffice. I wholeheartedly recommend these solicitors, specifically Mr John Wilkinson. Thank you.

I was really impressed with the way in which JWP responded to our request for help. We were offered a home visit from Fiona Haigh, who came within a couple of days. She was friendly, very reassuring, but professional, and she took all my worries and concerns on board and dealt with them in a manner that I could understand. I can’t thank her enough, and I would recommend JWP wholeheartedly.

Fiona Haigh of JWP assisted us in writing our wills and applying or Power of Attourney. She was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, she allowed plenty of time for questions which she explained in layman's terms. We cannot praise her highly enough and would have no hesitation in recommending her.
