Court Application.

As you can imagine going to court to resolve a family dispute can be a very stressful time. I felt at ease with the professional service that Sam John provided. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better solicitor. Sam was very approachable from the beginning and provided me with an honest and tenacious service. Sam's experience from other cases is invaluable and I strongly recommend Sam.

Review of divorce proceedings

5

I have found everybody at Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice to be extremely professional and experienced at what they do - whilst also remaining approachable and friendly.

Sam John was my solicitor during recent divorce proceedings, and I found him to be excellent at providing council and advise throughout the entire process. I felt he was really invested in guiding me through a complex process, making a very stressful time a lot less overwhelming and easier to navigate.

I would definitely recommend Sam and the firm to anybody else in my position.

Highly recommended - Look no further

5

I recently found myself in a position needing advice on a family matter which Sam has helped with. Having used a solicitor from a different firm previously, the saying "having two ears and one mouth" has come true this time around.
Sam truly understood my needs and ambitions with him demonstrating this by preparing an in-depth and accurate arrangement to be used which met each point discussed in our initial consultation.
In situations like mine, having knowledge of what the process could look like was vital and Sam made sure that a clear journey was set out so I knew what to do, what to expect and in the worst case what happens next.
If you find yourself reading this and need someone in your corner, do not wait and give this firm a call.

I was fortunate to be represented by Esther during a very difficult period. She was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and wholly committed to securing the best possible outcome for me and my children. I always felt that Esther was truly invested in my case — her support made a huge difference at a time when I really needed it.

I’d also like to thank Sam, who was consistently responsive, calm, and reassuring. He was always available when I needed guidance, and his input was invaluable.

Earlier in the process, Stacey Williams also dealt with my case. Like Esther, she was kind, supportive, and professional, and I remain incredibly grateful for the help she provided during some particularly challenging moments.

I can’t stress enough how thankful I am to the team for their support, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

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.

As a gay woman navigating the additional emotional and legal challenges of same-sex parenting, I found Sam’s practice to be both affirming and deeply respectful. He understood the nuances involved and always ensured that my rights—and those of my children—were fully represented and upheld.

I can’t recommend Sam highly enough. He brings not only legal expertise but also a rare combination of empathy and backbone that is invaluable in situations like mine.
