Divorce

It was one of the major events in my life so far and I was incredibly nervous and anxious. The team were amazing from start to finish! They kept me informed all the way and supported me through the process. I would highly recommend that if you are considering divorcing and things feel overwhelming, talk with them, they really are human and of course professionals.

Family Law - Order for Sale dispute

Jennifer's support throughout the process was exceptional. Her professional and proactive approach in advising on the best response to a Liberty to Apply application from my ex-wife made me feel calm and reassured. I knew my case was in knowledgeable hands. Jennifer kept me informed of any developments, suggesting the best course of action while being open to my thoughts and suggestions. She turned a painful and upsetting situation into a positive outcome. I would recommend Barker Son & Isherwood to anyone without hesitation.

Jenny was lovely and super helpful along with the reception staff. They were absolutely amazing until the very end, I’m still waiting for a response for attendance notes. Also I still had a few questions, but got dropped as soon as it was over for them.
I would highly recommend them for family matters though, it was handled very well, just at the end I got let me down.

I’m not sure why but I’ve done this review already months ago and yet it’s still not live so having to re try.

I wanted to write a review based on my wonderful experience with Julian Cole a solicitor based at this firm in Andover.

My case was far from an easy straightforward one and was against the government so I had an extremely difficult fight on our hands. I had a life changing car accident which left me disabled as a result with long term injuries also.

I had originally gone to a large firm in London who after a year I took the case away from as they seemed to be twiddling their thumbs and doing not a lot of anything.
I was then recommended this firm by a friend and went to meet with Julian to discuss my case.

It was an extremely long five years, we knew this when starting. Julian although is a quiet man upon meeting do not let that fool you into thinking that when it comes to his role he won’t perform. I can assure you that you will get the very best outcome with Julian on board.

He’s extremely thorough and professional, he knows exactly what he’s doing who to get on board and provided me with some of the best barristers in the country.
My case was extremely emotional for me and at times i’m sure I was a nightmare for Julian, well I know I was. He was so understanding to how I felt throughout and gave me support and wise words to reassure me the whole time.

When working alongside somebody for so long you gain a very good understanding to the type of person they are. Julian is one in a million he’s not just acting on your behalf but he’s putting everything into your case because this man truly does care unlike so many.

It’s been a pleasure working alongside Julian and his firm and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping me get the outcome we did for myself and my family and our future.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julian Cole to anybody who is looking for the best outcome you could get coupled with a solicitor you can rely on throughout with his honesty and advice and his experience.

Many thanks again to everyone that was involved we thank you and we appreciate all you have done.
