Excellent support and service for divorce & childcare arrangements
I had excellent support from Mike Hicks over a period of around 18 months during my divorce, and subsequently the requirement to come to agreement with my ex-wife on childcare arrangements for my son. Mike took care throughout the process of understanding my situation, reviewing any documents or evidences I shared with him, meaning that when I did approach him for advice or action, he was able to be very timely in his responses, and I felt that they were always fully informed and 'spot on'. When I needed urgent intervention, he was reactive and responsive, and and at other times he would always provide timely responses too. I really appreciated Mike's advice and counsel thoughout this painful process.

Clear and professional advice
I originally engaged with another solicitor within the firm however her caseload meant she lacked capacity to continue. Mike took up the reins and then managed my case to conclusion with alacrity. Advice was always clear and unambiguous and communication was swift and professional. Whilst legal fees are never anything other than expensive, it generally pays to get best and professionally informed advice. I'm very grateful for Mike's advice and support. Thank you.

Best legal services.
I was referred to Fisher and Jones solicitors by a charity as I was a victim of domestic abuse, I can highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal advice, as I had no knowledge of who to go about my issues, but I can say I appreciate all the advice I got from start to finish. Appreciation to Mike for always looking after me through the whole process.
