Paul Legrys
Collected on:
I was recommended Coodes through a different service, they were extremely helpful and easy to talk too, from the first story explaining my situation all the way to the final hearing. Chris and Courtney Sutton, were always fast to respond, were happy to explain certain legal terms over an over again and take time to make me feel like I knew what was going on, even with all the legal jargon. They also understood me and what I wanted from my final outcome and during the proceedings acted appropriately and make the correct suggestions even if I didn’t see it at the time(due to emotionally connected).
Every step of the way they were in depth and made sure we covered every single point to get the correct outcome.
I’ll be forever grateful to Coodes, Chris and Courtney for how much help was provided and the work they did for me.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 27 March, 2025:
Thank you, Paul, for your heartfelt review! We're so pleased to hear that Chris, Courtney and Colin provided the support, clarity, and guidance you needed throughout your family law case. Your appreciation means a lot, and we're grateful for your trust in us. Wishing you all the best!
