Julie Butcher, was honest, realistic and would listen to what I was looking to get out of the situation. Dealing with a divorce.is never an easy one, especially when the two parties aren’t getting on. Julie, was patient., willing and forthcoming. Her communication was transparent with regular updates.. Thanks to Julie’s hard working ethics, I am now in a position whereby I have my own home and am now able to see my children more. Thank you.

I contacted Sian after seeing her name appear many times when somebody asked for recommendations for a family solicitor. I made an enquiry to see if they would take on my case, I had an instant reply and booked an appointment for a face to face meeting where we discussed everything. Sian explained what the procedure would be and from then on, everything was completed on line. If I needed to speak to Sian or her associates it was never a problem. Everyone we dealt with throughout the case was very professional. I would definitely use them again if I needed to in the future.

I (unfortunately) had the need to use the services of Siân at Francis George. She has been fantastic and so helpful at every step of my process. She has communicated well, costs have been in line with what had been detailed and she has always helped me know what the options are, and what the implications may be of a cause of action. I cannot recommend Siân and her colleagues at Francis George highly enough - thank you.

I really cannot recommend Ross Peters enough. Throughout my custody battle he was there to answer any question no matter how small and replied instantly with anything I needed. Communication was fantastic throughout and he guided me through everything. In court, he helped me to reach a final conclusion quickly and I came out with a better result than I ever thought I would have. Thanks to Ross, I can now enjoy regular contact with my children. Should any further issues arise in future, I will not hesitate to get in touch with Ross straight away.

Personal Injury

Professional and friendly service

I have used Francis George on 2 occasions and both times I have dealt with Asif Robbani. Recently I used them for a personal injury claim against my previous employer. The service and guidance I received was so professional but with a friendly and caring approach too. When you have an injury that stops you working, driving etc it can be so hard to bounce back and stay positive but the speed and determination of Asif to gain me the best outcome helped beyond words. My claim was settled well within the time frame and was down to the sheer professionalism of Asif and his team. Since then my family have used Asif for other proceedings again with an exceptional outcome I would highly recommend both Francis George and especially Asif for any legal requirement Thank you again for your excellent service

Executor and Conveyancing

All completed without delay or problems. A very pleasant outcome as I was acting as sole executor of a very dear 96 year old friend and had thought it may have been a protracted process but in the event all went smoothly and as speedily as could wished for.

I had an excellent experience with Francis George Solicitor Advocate. I reached out to Asif Robbani for legal advice and support, and his professionalism, experience, and attention to detail were outstanding. He guided me through the process with confidence and clarity, and I felt fully supported from start to finish. I’m very happy with the service I received and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable legal assistance.
