Adele Woods

What I do

I am Associate Solicitor and have exclusively practiced in family law since qualifying as a Solicitor in July 2009.

I have dealt with complex and challenging disputes relating to divorce, children, forced marriage and domestic abuse.

I also have a particular interest in financial issues arising out of separation and consider myself a keen advocate. I am passionate about family law and I am dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for my clients. 

My colleagues would describe me as determined and dedicated, I have a keen eye for detail and I am always willing to go the extra mile for my clients.  

I am an enthusiastic team player and like to support my colleagues wherever I can. 

I have two young children who keep me very busy in my spare time.  I am also a keen hobby baker, like to read and enjoy shopping and meals out with friends. 

A highly respected Solicitor with a wealth of experience.  Very approachable and clearly explains the law and procedure which helps put her clients at ease.

Adele handled my case from start to finish with care, professionalism and understanding. With the complexity of my situation and having never had dealings with a solicitor before, Adele took time to provide clear advice and support throughout…I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adele to anyone requiring advice and representation on all matters of family law, her dedication and commitment achieved the best possible outcome for my family, for which I’ll be forever grateful.

I have to say that Adele was very thorough, she was also very kind compassionate whist being very professional as you would expect from your firm. Adele kept me updated on all of the proceedings right up to the absolute. Adele Woods is an asset to Smith Partnership and it was my privilege to have her work on my case. I have no hesitation in recommending Adele to anyone needing help.

Adele Woods has been incredibly helpful for myself and my children over the last 6 months and I am very pleased with the service I have received. Adele has been supportive, understanding and honest with me throughout my process and has made me feel at ease. I would and have recommended Adele and the company in the future. I couldn't have asked for a better service. There have been times, I have been angry, sad and hurt and Adele has put me at ease and provided me with the right advise and support that I needed through a very difficult experience. I honestly can not thank her enough for her support so far. Thank you Adele.

Adele helped me in a very long case within the family court. Adele is very professional and kept me informed at all times, I followed her from a previous solicitor's due to her professionalism. I would recommend Adele for any family disputes.

I cannot thank Adele Woods at Smith Partnership enough for the excellent way in which she supported me through my child custody case. We never met as all communication was online or via telephone due to the COVID pandemic, but at all times she was professional yet friendly and extremely supportive, always making time for me and guiding me through the process giving me the confidence to get through the stressful experience. The outcome of the case was positive for me, for which I will always be so grateful and I would have no hesitation in recommending Smith Partnership, particularly Adele Woods, for anyone seeking help with child custody.
