“Ursula Rice at Family First is one amazing lady! Thanks to her, my divorce and settlement was sorted within a year, having previously had three other solicitors rip me off over nine years. I cant thank her enough – she is so down-to-earth and offered me the best advice possible. The solicitors I previously used…

“Jenny represented me in family court at a very stressful time. She proved to be very knowledgable and professional in getting matters concluded. I would highly recommend her and Family Fist Solicitors.”

“I went through terrible time in my life but Jenny was so friendly and understanding. She was the best I could possibly have imagined, after having spoken to so many solicitors who were just after my money and didn’t care about me. I can’t thank you guys enough. I will be recommending Jenny in the…

“Jenny guided me through the hardest time in my life and rescued me at short notice more than once! She has been so helpful – I couldn’t have got through it all without her help. She understood where I was coming from and actually listened to me. If I ever need advice and help again…

“Thank you for how fantastic and supportive you were with me on a personal level. You were the firm-but-fair reality check I needed at a very wobbly time. Without you I would never have got my act together and be in the (beautiful!) place I am now. My partner and I have found a way…

“Just signed the documents. I thought I’d send you an email to thank you for your kind help as I feel like I have finally made some progress, and I wouldn’t be able to do this without you. Hopefully the court process goes smoothly. Much appreciated!”

“I was having a difficult time with a consent order for a divorce and Ursula offered me affordable advice that made me feel supported and comfortable. I really appreciate all her help and would highly recommend Family First for affordable but professional advice.”

“I would like to thank you so much for putting me in touch with Bruna. She was an absolute Godsend to me during a very difficult and stressful time. What I liked so much about working with Bruna was her understanding of the emotions that come up for parents when going through child arrangements. The…

“I used Family First Solicitors for a complex issue following a separation from my partner. Everything was conducted remotely on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, as I’m 150 miles away from their offices, and it worked brilliantly. It meant I didn’t rack up a huge legal bill and was able to access the advice…

“Very practical, helpful and understanding – I felt a huge sense of relief after speaking to Hannah – £120 well spent.”

“Family First Solicitors have been very professional and helpful with my case and situation. They are knowledgeable, professional, empathic, friendly and most of all genuine. You get good value here including updates about where your money is going, and they always ask if you’re happy with the next move before they proceed. I would recommend…

“Hannah was amazing – I can’t recommend her highly enough. She provided me with amazing value for money, support and advice at a time when I needed it the most. Although I hope to never need her help again, if I did, Family First would be my first port of call.”

“I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me and supporting me during the hardest part of life. You have supported me to make me mentally strong and given me great professional advice.”

“I had a fantastic experience with Henrietta and the rest of the team at Family First Solicitors. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for an honest, trustworthy and reliable legal service.

“I had an excellent experience with Family First Solicitors. Hannah was absolutely amazing throughout. She listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions.

“I can highly recommend Ursula Rice, who was such a friendly and understanding solicitor throughout my divorce proceedings. I always had a prompt response to queries and was kept up to date. I could not have chosen a better solicitor who understood the needs of myself and my children through a difficult time.”

“Today I came away from court with more than what I ever imagined possible. From the first day I enquired until this afternoon, they couldn’t have been any better. So sincere and genuine in their advice and approach. I really can’t recommend or thank them enough.”

“I have really appreciated Jenny’s work on my case. She has been very responsive and is always compassionate, thoughtful and respectful and I have always felt like she is genuinely cares about the outcome and understands what it would mean for me and the girls. I know so many people who have had excessive charges…

“Great service and timely communications, written in a way that conveyed the points well, but didn’t cause alarm or stress. This is a refreshing change, having dealt with a much bigger law firm whose communications were stressful and badly written. Thank you for the speed with which you conducted my instructions. A great improvement compared…

“Ursula gave sound, easy to understand & down to earth advice. 100% supportive, & suggested appropriate way to pay i.e. Pay-as-you-go, as minimal support needed”

“I visited Henrietta at Family First Solicitors following the breakdown of my marriage. I had little idea of how difficult and protracted the process would become and how much I would come to rely upon and value her excellent professional advice. From applying for the initial Decree Nisi to preparing for the court hearing, Henrietta…

“Fantastic! Very caring and compassionate, the pay-as-you-go service is excellent. The advice I have received has been spot on and has helped me get through this difficult process. I have recommended them to friends that are having similar difficulties.”

“A great big thank you for all your help to date. You have always been a pleasure to deal with and I’ve really appreciated your no-nonsense personable approach that has also championed my ability to do much of this myself and as a side effect has really helped raise my post-divorce confidence. I have and…

“George was amazing. He managed to fit me in at short notice and was very patient. He explained things clearly – making sure I understood everything thoroughly throughout the case. He was very supportive around the court date and time too. Thank you George and Ursula. Now I finally feel free and have got the…

From start to finish, the service has been excellent. I have had the right help, at the right time, and have felt completely supported. Henrietta has…

“I would highly recommend Family First’s services. I’d met with two different solicitors regarding my matter and paid handsomely for the poor experience, before being recommended Family First. I met with Jenny, who was knowledgeable, clear, approachable and patient. Overall a far better service than anywhere else I’ve been – and cheaper.”

“I want to say a massive thank you for making this so pain-free. I know it wasn’t the most complicated of divorce settlements, but it’s still a massive relief to have it all done and dusted so quickly and without any undue stress or unforeseen costs. Thank you so much.” K.E.

“Exceptional value for the services you receive. Can’t thank them enough for everything they did for me before, during and after my court hearing. Shame I can’t give more stars. Special thanks to Hannah for making it such an amazing experience for me.”

I’ve been a PAYG client with Family First for the last 6 years and it has served me extremely well – enabling my complex and protracted divorce litigation to be…
