Worst company to deal with. Sky high fees and done next to nothing to deserve the payments. You are charged out the blue with no indication the fees are stacking up and then at the end a total bill needs paid. Communication is terrible and I haven't ever experienced something like it considering you are paying so much for a service. When you ask for things you would not want done they do it so they can charge you even more. Unreliable person who dealt with the case and shown no understanding as to what we wanted. Didn't care for what we wanted in the end and this was shown whilst dealing with

Wouldn't bother using them. They don't care swimming in legal aid money then once you've dropped of the conveyor belt job done. Find a solicitor who cares about your case as beecham peacock solicitor most certainly do not. They only care about your money or legal aid and the quickest way to make it. Your children or your case is irrelevant to them.
if its family law your looking for stay well clear of these people as family law is not family values! its family law = money value.
Terrible!
