Settlement Agreement with Employer

The service I received was excellent and very prompt. Despite the personal stress related to the situation with my employer (at the time), John Webster was helpful, insightful and supportive throughout. I was grateful for the swift responses and advice in order to conclude things quickly and successfully.

Donna was a good divorce solicitor

I found Donna to be good to deal with at a difficult time.

She was rapid in her responses and her advice was sound and easy to follow so far as these things go.

She had a great eye for detail and picked up on thing others had missed.

I would use this firm again.

Excellent.

During the most frustrating and challenging chapter of our lives, Sajeda helped us in more ways than we thought possible. Her kind demeanour whilst helpful, was lifted by her punctuality in response and admin times. I dont think I could've expected more from a family law solicitor than Sajeda provided. Had we not had help from this firm and faught against a complete cluster of misinformation and diagnoses, our family may not be what it is today. From the bottom of our hearts, thankyou.

Highly recommended

After transferring to Fieldings Porter from another firm, I was quite nervous about starting over with a new solicitor. Stacey was absolutely amazing and immediately put me at ease. Her communication is excellent and she responds promptly and I’ve never had to chase anything up with her. Stacey is efficient, clear, and to the point, ensuring everything gets done exactly as needed. She’s also guided me through each step of the process, making everything easy to understand. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive solicitor. I also had the support of Donna Leigh while Stacey was on leave, and she was equally amazing.

Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your trust in Fieldings Porter.

Unfortunately I was going through some difficult family problems involving my ex and our children.
Stacey was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process; she supported me through the whole case, kept me updated, explained everything in detail. She is very professional, very knowledgeable and got us as a family the best outcome we could have asked for.
