Absolutely amazing service all the way through
Daisy Barrows represented me and she was absolutely amazing. Daisy was so professional and offered me clear advice and guidance, she always took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel better. I can not thank you enough for the help you gave me giving me the outcome i wanted. I now feel like a huge weight has been lifted and you took me to that place. I will be forever grateful.

Thorough and thoughtful advice
Great and continued help with getting the right EHCP in place so our son can access education. Unfortunately we had to take the Devon Local Authority to Tribunal which was duly won.
Also great advice on dealing with Social Services and set our expectations correctly on how to best interact with them. Worth the investment to have the right people by your side.

This is the second time I have used Watkins solicitors and I highly recommend them. I was represented this time by Daisy and she did a fab job in court. And we got the outcome we hoped for.

Fantastic experiences family solicitors
Watkins solicitors have been absolutely incredible and amazing during my difficult family court battle that has been ongoing for years.
Despite I was a tricky client, they were so kind, patient and understanding. They always went out their way to help me. Nothing was ever an issue or inconvenience for them. They even accommodated around my family commitments and would contact me at convenient times for me!
I can now finally breathe and say the court battle is over and that’s all thanks to them! I cannot recommend them enough. Massive credit in particular to Beverley, Sophia, Hakima and Caitlin.
Wonderful team and firm.
I will be sure to happily use them again.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me and my family finally be free.

Outstanding Legal Support and Professionalism
I recently had the pleasure of working with Daisy Barrows for family law case, and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of service provided. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, she demonstrated exceptional expertise and commitment to ensuring my needs were met.
The communication throughout the process was clear and timely, and I always felt well-informed and confident in the advice I received. The professionalism and dedication to my case were evident, and I felt genuinely supported every step of the way.
I highly recommend Watkins solicitors team for anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation. Their thorough knowledge, attention to detail, and client-focused approach set them apart in a crowded field.
Thank you for your outstanding service!

Amazing support from Sophie Sims
Sophie Sims. Is phenomenal, kind and incredibly professional. She guided me through the most horrible emotionally draining process with such kindness. She was so efficient and explained everything to me. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always there for me whenever advice was needed. We can't thank you enough.
