Thank you for your patience with my very long divorce. I couldn’t really be complete on it in my own mind untill the house transfer and mortgage was finalised but now that it is, it is a weight off my mind.

You have always shown a cool, considered and highly professional approach to all that has emerged and I am very grateful for your calming words and manner whenever my stress levels reached boiling point. I would without doubt recommend you to anyone in the unfortunate position of having matrimonial issues.

Danielle and Stephen
I would like to thank you both for the care and consideration you have given me through the deed of separation I have recently been through. The road is long and there is more to come but your kindness has been much appreciated.

I am very grateful for the patience and understanding that you have shown me during these past months and fully appreciate the work and effort that you are undertaking on my behalf.

I do believe that in most cases the parties involved in a divorce want to ensure that the terms of the settlement are resolved in as amicable a way as possible, particularly where there are children and other family members involved. Berwins work strenuously to maintain this amicability though often, I suspect, in the face of legal teams who have little consideration for amicable settlements.
A family client
I have been working towards my divorce settlement with Berwins for the last few months and have found their approach to be most professional, diligent and compassionate. They have approached the case with a great deal of sensitivity, with a clear objective of concluding the case in the shortest time possible.
