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

Delia, and her assistant, Danielle, helped me through the process, taking all the stress from me. Delia even called me 'out of hours' and free of charge, to assure me that everything was going to be ok. Delia and Danielle, to me, are superstars.

My experience with this company

I met Jason Deakon once. That was the consultation he was late thank you for that appointment. We talked I gave him the details of my possible divorce situation. I spoke with him after I received emails regarding my wife’s intentions. After a few days we spoke on the phone. He told me I had lied about the cottage in Whitby I thought me and my wife had our names on. It turns out I wasn’t on the deeds and he told me I’d lied that shocked me. I didn’t know I never checked why would I we’ve been married 22 years and it doesn’t matter anyway. The next bomb shell was that he wasn’t familiar with North Yorkshire and I should get a solicitor from that area. I’m still annoyed that he called me a liar and wanted to fob me off. The bill came and I had a £200 phone call that was when he told me the above. I’ll pay the balance tomorrow but £909 for the service I’ve had is scandalous. He was not professional or punctual. One of the reasons that I’m not continuing with any further business with JWP is on the 14/9/26 that I have prostate cancer and an operation is required to remove the prostate. More upsetting news for me. I do hope the MD of the company has a word with MR Deakon about his manner and level of professionalism.

Review on Sydnee

Under unfortunate circumstances I was fortunate enough to work with Sydnee for a second time. Her guidance and professionalism are absolutely fantastic I couldn’t recommend her enough. Always available for any advice you may seek, and makes you feel at ease on days that are quite uneasy. Thank you for your time and effort in my case and all the best.

AVOID AT ALL COST

Used in a divorce matter, unprofessional service, unacceptable advice, even worse representation in court. If you want to lose most of what you have, these are the people to use. You need to be a qualified lawyer before using this company as their errors are frequent and the results are ruinous. They are running a business, they do it for profit, not the interests of their clients so don`t be one.

Excellent solicitor throughout my divorce.

Shauna was absolutely fantastic in dealing with my divorce. She guided me through every step of the way with help, efficiency and expertise. Would recommend to anyone seeking a reliable patient and helpful solicitor. Made a difficult time much easier.

Fanastic!

I first reached out to Delia back in 2023, seeking advice for my divorce. After speaking to Delia, I knew she'd have my back. What I didn't know, was that my divorce would take an extremely 'unpleasant' turn. But, Delia, and her assistant, Danielle, helped me through the process, taking all the stress from me. Delia even called me 'out of hours' and free of charge, to assure me that everything was going to be ok. Delia and Danielle, to me, are superstars. I couldn't have got through the horrible process of divorce without them. Thank you, ladies.

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.

A truly outstanding solicitor who made a difficult time feel manageable

Sophie Levitt was everything I needed and more. She was kind, patient, and took the time to genuinely hear me — not just the legal points, but the human reality behind them. I felt understood, supported, and never rushed. Her guidance was clear, professional, and straightforward, and the outcome she helped me achieve meant the world to me. Sophie brought calm to chaos and clarity to confusion. Her compassion and strength made a huge difference, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she did. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing support in Family Law. Thank you, Sophie, for all your help.

Highly recommend Shauna Pitchforth

Shauna took on my complex & lengthy court case. Despite there being many " firsts" for Shauna she was very knowledgeable, competent, skilled and got the job done stress free for me! Shauna was an absolute pleasure to work with

Driving offences

Outstanding Solicitor – Highly Recommended

Mr Rathour was extremely professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout my case. I was facing a driving ban and was understandably very worried about the outcome, but he handled everything brilliantly and managed to achieve a result that I honestly didn’t think was possible. He explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout and made the whole process much less stressful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely knows what they’re doing and cares about getting the best possible outcome for their clients.

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. She is very knowledgeable in this subject. A true professional!
