I’ve had the pleasure of having smith partnership represent me in family court but more specifically Nicola Nelson on two separate occasions now.

[...]

But with that being said in my opinion I wouldn't have got as far or done as well as we did without the support, guidance and empathy of Nicola Nelson @smith partnership, We won our case in the end. [...]

[...] it was a very stressful situation, but again Nicola was there a second time with her experience and support to guide us through it and advise me when things got tough.

The emotional support that she offered, always answering any questions or doubt, showing that we wasn't a case and we meant something was a massive factor in writing this review.

Over the years I've had a bit of a chequered history, I've worked with many solicitors covering many different issues. But hands down, Nicola Nelson is the most empathetic and caring and hard working solicitor I've ever met, the patience of a saint I might add, as sometimes I could become very distressed and upset as it's a difficult thing to go through but she is a gentle soul and always listened and guided me. I'll never forget that.

I have no doubt in my mind that should I ever require services for family matters in the future. Smith partnership and hopefully Nicola Nelson would be my first point of call and I will always be in their debt.
