Daniel Bennett was my solicitor when I was taken to court over custody of my son. He was absolutely amazing. I could not recommend him more highly. He is a consummate professional and is extremely hard working but it always felt that he wasn’t ‘just doing a job’, he genuinely cared about the safety of my son. You could see the benefit of his years of experience as he thinks several steps ahead, I would have been at a disadvantage without him as he always considers ulterior motives and subterfuge that I couldn't anticipate. He considered the consequences of decisions with a view to our long term situation always trying to ensure that my son was the priority. He is a ferocious adversary, yet compassionate to his clients. If I ever have to go to court again I would want Daniel Bennett on my side, not working for the other side! I don’t think there is anyone else more dedicated, kind, child centric and fearless.

I’ve used Sadie Webb at Whitehead Monckton for multiple property sales now and she has been absolutely smashing.
They always answer calls and emails promptly and are very thorough. I would highly recommend her for any exchange needs and will certainly use her again in future.
