Clear, knowledgeable and committed. My spousal maintenance case was handled quickly and well by Mr Okafor. You can tell he has been doing this for years. I would recommend this firm to anyone.
After a difficult process around our prenuptial agreement and the business, I was helped really well here. James Hartley is a pleasant solicitor to work with. Everything is now settled fairly and professionally. That is one big worry less.
I am very pleased with how Sophie Carrow helped with our parenting plan. The focus was on what was good for the children. Talks with the other side went smoothly but firmly, so we never had to go to court.
My experience with Mr Hartley has been extremely positive. He is skilled, committed and really thinks along with you. He is also easy to reach and responds quickly, which gives peace of mind in a legal situation. Highly recommended.
Not a standard talk, but a solicitor who really listens. My divorce was complicated by property abroad, but James Hartley knew exactly how to approach it. I felt well supported during the hearing. Thank you!
A human approach from this solicitor eased the tension during the hearing, and he made it clear he was standing up for you all the way. Thank you, Mr Hartley, we are happy with the outcome!
During the difficult period of my divorce, Ms Marsh gave me a lot of calm. She explained everything simply and was always easy to reach. Dividing the house and the pension was hard, but the result is good. A very professional team.
To divide our assets and amend our prenuptial agreement I wanted a firm that knew its business. James Hartley understood my interests as a business owner immediately and handled them very discreetly. His help brought calm in a turbulent time.
