Client Testimonials

Simon was my solicitor for my divorce. He worked hard for me and fought hard when needed! He is prompt in his actions and replies. Thanks Simon for everything you have done for me.

Livingstone – Client of Simon Fisher

My case is complex and incorporated both matrimonial and children proceedings fighting against my ex husbands aggressive legal team. Simon has always been incredibly supportive of me, even when I was losing hope.

He is highly focussed, acts quickly and decisively and is able to decipher my subjective ramblings during a stressful time and puts a very succinct and objective communication together.

I trust him implicitly with my families future and know that he will always endeavour to get the best outcome for us. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to deal with my case.
