I was recommended to see Simon by a QC friend of mine and found him to be very reliable, capable and helpful throughout what was a difficult experience. He was an excellent advocate and diligent in keeping costs down. A fantastic service, with a personal touch at great value. Would highly recommend.

I have unreserved praise for the service I have had from Bross Bennett. Everyone at the firm has always been very friendly and efficient. I am not sure how I would have got throughout a very difficult divorce without my solicitor Ruth Bross. As well as her excellent advice, expertise and tenacity, I always knew she really cared about me and the outcome of my case. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
