How it works
Client reviews
Real feedback from real clients, verified on Review Solicitors.
“I can't speak highly enough of Melanie Hamer. Going through a divorce is incredibly difficult, but Melanie made the process significantly smoother. Their expertise in family law is evident, and they demonstrated exceptional attention to detail in every aspect of my case.”
“I cannot recommend Sarah and her team highly enough, they are absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met Sarah, I knew that she was someone who was kind, clever, very experienced and that I was in good hands. She has always made me feel exceptionally well supported and I don't know how I would have got through this incredibly stressful time without her by my side.”
“Thank you to Rebecca Knight and Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice for providing professional family legal advice and provision for dividing finances under sensitive conditions. Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice are a best in class family law firm and Rebecca is high performance. I strongly recommend Rebecca and the firms service offering.”
“Family court proceedings can be distressing, so it’s so important to have expert, sound advice, which is exactly what is provided by Wendy Hopkins Family Law. I cannot speak highly enough of the team.”
“Sam has been an exceptional solicitor—compassionate, efficient, and unwaveringly committed. He guided me through the deeply painful and complex process of a high-conflict divorce with calm confidence, clarity, and strength. His ability to remain firm and strategic, even when the opposing side used inflammatory tactics to wear me down, made me feel genuinely protected and empowered.”
“I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service and professionalism I received from Lucy. From the very first consultation, made me feel valued and confident that my case was in the best hands.”
“Bethan provided exceptional support and guidance during what was easily the most stressful time of my life. Not only professional and highly knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate and understanding, which made all the difference when I was ready to give up.”
“I cannot recommend this practice enough! Fay dealt with my situation so flawlessly. She was efficient, knowledgeable and warm, nothing was too much for her. If I ever need the support again, there would be no doubt who I would go to!”
“Stacey assisted me in an ongoing child arrangement matter and continually provided me honest, clear and helpful advice. Stacey's guidance ended up avoiding a scheduled court hearing plus the associated costs & stress, whilst gaining me what I was seeking. Throughout Stacey was excellent in her advice and I will instruct her again should I require further family law services.”
“Esther Ifan of Wendy Hopkins helped me through a divorce. She explained every step of the process clearly and with empathy. She guided me through a very difficult time. What stood out for me was that she answered my phone calls or called me back the same day if I had queries and I was immediately contacted when the status of my divorce changed or she had information for me.”
“Chloe was absolutely brilliant throughout my separation, guiding me clearly and calmly through every stage of the process. She was always in regular contact, which meant I never once felt forgotten or left wondering what was happening.”
“We had a difficult family situation and were recommended this firm. They are good to deal with and on your side which is I think the most important thing. I could not recommend them highly enough.”
