Thank you

I would like to thank JWP Legal Limited and especially Melissa Portlock. Melissa worked on my cases over the period of two years. As due to the nature of my case, she was able to react promptly and in the most adequate way every time when I needed legal help. Her and her team have been very patient, supporting and helpful during the most difficult time of my life. They provided me with the confidence, knowledge and honest and clear advise that I needed. I'll be grateful my whole life for everything and I would most definitely recommend JWP and Melissa to anyone.

Highly recommended

I would like to thank JWP Legal Limited and I highly recommend this law firm. They handled my case with the utmost professionalism and care. It was a difficult case and a really long procedure, however my solicitor Melissa Portlock has a thorough knowledge of the law, and it was brilliant preparation for the case which was solved efficiently. She is an excellent professional.
She always answered all my questions with great clarity and patience.

And I would like to express all my gratitude to the barrister Ms Emily Reed who defended my case in the Court with determination.
She thoroughly reviewed all the evidence in my case, prepared an exceptional strategy that led to my victory in court. Her preparation was remarkable. She was always available to answer my question and supporting me throughout my case, She demonstrated the deep understanding of my situation. Her professionalism and communications helped alleviate me with this difficult and emotional process.
I am deeply grateful for her service and highly recommend her to anyone facing a difficult procedure. She is absolutely knowledgeable, competent professional I have ever met.

Great experience with JWP Solicitors.

Excellent interpersonal skills with client, fully supportive, friendly, patient, informative while taking appropriate steps to progress the case to a closure. They have a good scope of services, I suggest you check out their website for more information, alternatively give them a call.

All in all a great experience, highly recommend!

We had wills & LPA's done with JWP, Lorna was very helpful professional & knowledgeable, she explained everything in layman's terms and made sure we understood everything, she was also very patient & understanding. Joanna also returned a call when Lorna was unavailable, after I called & she was also professional and helpful. The only reason I have dropped a star is the quality of some of the pages of the photocopied documents, they are very lopsided, and unprofessional for legal copies.

Firstly, thank you Malissa Portlock, and your team, for a great result at Huddersfield family Court. This was a upsetting time, a first for me in this position of being granted a Non Molestation Order due to a relationship breakdown along with Domestic Abuse against myself. Professionally serviced throughout our case, quickly dealt with, very supportive and today I feel a safer place is now in front of me. Guys you have no idea what this means to me moving forward.

Thank you very much 💗💖
