I cannot thank Henrietta enough for all her advice, patience and tireless dedication in seeking a fair financial resolution in my divorce. At times it felt like the end was nowhere in sight, but I always felt in safe hands with Henrietta. Her advice was clear, realistic and reassuring, with a great depth of understanding of the emotional stress the process causes.
Thank you Henrietta, you're amazing.

Placed into an unknown world and a newish process of single solicitor divorce we both coming from an amicable position came across family first solicitors and for the small amount of money for an initial conversation we're able to both chat freely our concerns. In an open arena the legal framework was explained in a most friendly and helpful a manner as could be expected. At no time were either party's left unaware of the path of travel.
Never knowing at the time whether you've done right or wrong we both gave Ursula our trust. From the first meeting the situation was handled in a most professional manner and all the form filling and tedious legal documentation was being handled whilst we in our alloted sessions were guided together in an open honest conversation to be able to supply Ursula the required information to achieve an outcome. As a doubter to legal workings when the time came for court approval I was pleasantly surprised that the financil settlement and divorce went through with no problem which can only be given praise to the solicitor in the preparation to the court.
In a nutshell if a couple genuinely can work amicably work together this solicitor is proof you can achieve a straight forward very cost effective divorce whilst working in a friendly environment.
I think we had no more than 3 meetings in total to achieve a result from a difficult situation. After hearing from other people's desperate divorce experiences this most certainly was not.
Can't thank enough not just Ursula but the team around her aswell.
You wouldn't find another solicitor like this easily.

As those who have experienced a marital rupture know all to well, it can be a very traumatic time. However what made mine much more bearable was engaging in a pay as you go contract with Family First. From the outset Henrietta and her team were so compassionate, understanding and ever knowledgeable. Given the nature of my job meeting online was more convenient and Henrietta did all she could to meet when I was able to do so. Throughout the process of going through a divorce whenever I finished with a meeting with her I always felt like someone was in my corner which will never be forgotten. I wholeheartedly recommend Henrietta or Family First to anyone who is in need of their services!

I am writing this review to express my gratitude to George for his amazing service during a very challenging time for myself and my family. He was supportive, reassuring and helpful throughout. He was very thorough and did an outstanding job before and during the court hearing. We couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. We would highly recommend his service and would definitely use him again in the future if needed.

Bruna offered me advice before my first family court hearing and this helped me to write a sucsessful position statement and proposal.
She was really attentive to the details I was giving her and advised me well. I felt as if she really heard me and understood the type of relationship I had with my ex.
She was focused on what was in my children's best interest and reasonable.
I used Brunas services again recently to help with my final statement and with a deadline of a week she managed to pull something out of the bag which helped end all pettiness that had arisen so far in the court room and made it completely about my children and what they deserve and need.
The magistrates could see the effort and time that had gone into my final statement and really took on board my wants for my children and ultimately helped me reach the outcome I was hoping for.
Thankyou to Bruna and Carmen for your help and efficiency. Best wishes

It’s been a total joy with work with Henrietta through a really tough time. She has been clear, supportive, gentle and been happy to listen at all times. I have appreciated the pay as you go option as it’s allowed me to be in control of expenses and to get the exact support I need at the time. I found her very approachable and easy to understand when dealing with daunting issues.

After an experience with a solicitor that felt as though they didn’t have my back George was a breath of fresh air. Mine was a domestic abuse and property issue so emotions were high, George dealt with things professionally, outlined the options and advised the pros and cons of each situation. He was successful with the case and I would thoroughly recommend him.

very unhappy with advice received, was given a false sense of reassurance that the financial settlement position prepared for court was in the ballpark of a reasonable offer - judgement was shockingly different

I contacted Family First Solicitors after my wife and I decided we should separate and seek help in obtaining a divorce.
Separating after 25 years of marriage is a very difficult and challenging situation and Family First have helped my wife and I through the process.
After an original meeting with Bruna one of the companies solicitors it was decided to go ahead seek divorce and she helped us through the process and was very understanding and supportive toward us both.
The process was completed easily and was not necessary to attend any meetings in person after the original consultation as we were kept up to date of the progress every step of the way.
Stella, another member of the solicitor team has also been supportive of our situation and the sensitive matters involved and has always been happy to answer any questions we may have had.
Being granted a divorce takes time from initial consultation to final approval but I can only say a massive thanks to all at Family First Solicitors.

Although I was quite nervous because the subject matter was personal, emotional and important to me, Henrietta, the solicitor appointed to my case, was very patient, respectful and calm allowing me the time and space I needed to put my points across.
I felt listened to and advised well.
I didn’t feel pressured to do as I was told but allowed to make my own decisions based on the advice I was being giving. This was important for me.
I believe Family First solicitors live up to their name and would recommend them should you find yourself in the unfortunate situation you should need a solicitor.

Bruna could not have been more helpful. She was honest, to the point and also suggested areas I could navigate myself. I felt safe with her and her advice and she was always professional.

I have approached Famy first when going through my divorce. I had had a great experience. Bruna was very knowledgeable and she always told me what the outcome would be instead of giving me false hope. The most important was to get out of the divorce in a comfortable position, get to an agreement to avoid court and still have my kids best interest at heart. That was all achieved at affordable cost. Thank you Bruna
