Adoption case

Lois was incredibly patient and supportive throughout our entire adoption process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, which was a huge help given the complexities of our case. She was not just a knowledgeable solicitor, but also showed genuine kindness and care for my family’s well-being. We truly appreciate all the help and guidance she provided from beginning to end.

Help with inappropriate PLO procedure

I approached the solicitors Phoebe worked for and she was assigned to my case. From initial conversations onward, Phoebe was insightful and supportive as well as very efficient. I am so grateful for all her hard work and support.

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.

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.

Ongoing investigations (brilliant)

I’m currently going through a difficult time dealing with a few horrible accusations! Haaris has been more than a great help from emails to texts to phone calls he’s kept me in the loop from the start and assured me he’s going to try his best in my corner! Cannot fault this man so far and can’t wait for the outcome and working together in the future brilliant! 10/10

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!
