Family Client
Just a quick note to say thank you once again for your support throughout the process, while I appreciate this is work you’ve kept me grounded and focused on the longer term than the infuriating short. Although I wish I didn’t have to use your service I’m am glad that you have been in my corner throughout the last few years.
Mr Winsor
Simon is a very experienced family solicitor who provides excellent legal advice and guidance. His approach is clear and he ensures it is easy for you to understand the legal position. His attention to detail is second to none. He helped and guided me through a very difficult time in family court. I would and have trusted him with the things most precious to me, my family.
Miss Hanna
Simon is approachable, clear and concise and always has your best interests at heart. He asked me at the outset what I wanted to achieve, he said to me, do exactly as I say and you can achieve all of that. We had an extremely adversarial other side, but he kept calm throughout both court hearings and kept me on the right side which was only beneficial to me long term.
Mr Davies
I was pleased with the speed of the service and the willingness to support my requirements.
Mr Edwards
My initial appointment was made very quick. I was very concerned at the time and you made me feel much happier - thank you. The billing system is great, not one huge bill at the end. Your letters are well written in a pleasant way.
Mr Malyon
Andrew was very helpful and understanding throughout a difficult time. Everyone at Frettens was amazing - thank you.
Mr Adams
Being the first time I had ever had to use a solicitor, I had no idea where to start. I found the first free consultation very helpful and informative. Andrew was extremely helpful throughout.
Mrs Turner
