Great legal advice and support!

I cannot thank James jeffels enough for his exceptional support and professionalism throughout my child arrangement order case. From the very beginning, he provided clear, expert advice and guided me through every step of the process with confidence and compassion.

His dedication and attention to detail ensured that my case was presented in the best possible way, and thanks to his hard work, I achieved the outcome I was hoping for. And now get to spend quality time with my son thanks to James. He was always responsive, reassuring, and genuinely cared about my situation.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and highly skilled solicitor, I wholeheartedly recommend James jeffels. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

Thank you again for everything!

Excellent Service - Caring, compassionate and incredibly helpful

As a family, following a recent health scare, we realised that we should really make plans for the future to provide as much protection and control over family assets and health as possible, but didn’t know where to even start. We had an initial meeting with Gemma who explained the value in creating a family trust and ensuring that powers of attorney are in place for both health and finance. We didn’t really know about any of these things beforehand, and it is obviously quite a sensitive and emotional subject to be dealing with, making plans for end of life/potential for serious illness in future, but also talking about finances in the same conversation. Gemma made the whole process incredibly easy, was really comforting/understanding of both the situation, but also the mixed emotions of trying to do the right thing, but also trying to protect finances/property, when in reality, health is of course the most important thing. As a family we would highly recommend Gemma and the team at Cygnet Law. They’ve explained everything to us, the positives and the negatives with all options, made the process really simple and ultimately have left us feeling a great peace of mind that our family affairs are all in order, and in the event of a serious illness or even death, that we have all the necessary legal protections/documents in place to make what will be an incredibly tough period just that bit easier by removing/reducing administrative burden and protecting the families interests.

A great service provided

I have used Cygnet Family Law for multiple house moves and worked with Vicci McGee on all occasions, each time Vicci and her team have provided a 5* service. The communication throughout the provided service was excellent and made the stresses of selling and buying a property low.

We recently used Cygnet Law to act as the conveyancer for our sale/purchase and were dealt with by James and Melanie who we can't thank enough; they were highly professional and supportive throughout the whole process and none of it felt quite as stressful as we had expected.
We would highly recommend them and won't think twice about using Cygnet Law again, should we ever need to!

A relative passed away and we needed help with their will and probate. We were told by a friend that Gemma Brooke was the best at dealing with this. On our very first meeting with Gemma she was very friendly and made us feel at ease. She told us not to worry and that she would take care of everything. Well, I can honestly say that Gemma has gone above and beyond at keeping us informed every step of the way. When she hasn't been available her assistants Stephanie and Emily have been at hand for everything. Overall, outstanding and very much appreciated.

Simply amazing. Vicci, Kath and most recently Aimee, they have all been outstanding. Would not consider using any other firm. What has been a very stressful sale and purchase of two properties Cygnet have consistently delivered and pushed them both through which is all you could ask for. Thanks so much everyone X
