Report
I had online consultation with the partner Henry Brookman today. I was very happy with the service, he was very kind and patient with our queries. We spoke at length and at no point felt like he was rushing us and we felt very comfortable. After our discussion we were also quickly sent an email detailing everything we were discussing in our meeting in depth. I am amazed by the service we got just from a free consultation. I would highly recommend these solicitors!

I contacted Henry Brookman because of the complex international aspect of my divorce and Im very glad I did. I was very confused about the whole situation as a divorce in itself already is. However, not having UK nationality, having assets abroad and a foreign prenup made it all the more confusing. Henry took his time explaining all the pros and contras of both divorce procedures. I now have a much clearer view over the situation and feel more confident going forward. Im very grateful for the excellent advice Ive received and not feeling rushed during the meeting. Thank you Henry
