What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Derby families navigating divorce and other family law matters have recorded consistently positive experiences with this practice. Several reviewers highlight the clear communication maintained throughout their cases, noting that they were kept informed at every stage and never left uncertain about what would happen next. The advice and guidance provided by Jonathan Corbishley and paralegal Henna Aietan attracts particular praise, with clients describing how their cases reached resolution promptly and with limited fuss.

Support extends beyond paperwork, as reviewers frequently point to being accompanied and reassured during court hearings and throughout lengthy proceedings. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the personal approach taken by the team, with clients saying they felt cared for rather than treated as just another case on the file.

The professionalism and knowledge of Diya, Lucy, Johanna and Catriona also feature in accounts covering letters, court preparation and family law matters, with thorough explanations offered at each step. Honesty and hard work are credited with achieving strong outcomes for clients and their children, and the kindness shown during difficult periods is a recurring theme. The practice’s handling of sensitive family disputes, from initial advice through to final resolution, is described by those who used it as supportive and effective.

I had Jonathan helping my case. I highly recommend him as he is really a very good solicitor. Very patient, helpful, very smart, giving me the assurance that he will work in my best interest, which he really did. I am so grateful that he helped me succeed through the worst experiences of my life. I will always remember his kindness, the patience to answer to my questions/worries, and the ability to deal with all the stressful situation I went through. Thanks so much, Jonathan!

Terrible experience with a solicitor who is not properly trained and told me I don't know about this matter while we were in court. My question was regarding something in family law and I ended up in a very bad situation in court. She was looking up things the hour before the hearing. Not even prepared for it and shows how disrespectful she was to her clients.Had to find another firm who has well trained solicitors.

After a prolonged divorce case that ended up running for a number of years my details was passed over to Johnathan Corbishley and his paralegal Henna Aietan. I have been constantly impressed with the service I received especially communication, advice and guidance from Henna. With her help my case was resolved in a timely manner with limited fuss, a credit to the industry.

I had the absolute luck of being recommended Family law group Derby. I had yet another great stroke of luck of being assigned Jonathan, Henna and the rest of the team. Jonathan was frankly a life saver- he was fair and balanced, he was knowledgeable without fault in every aspect of what we needed, and frankly delivered on every account. He would work and contact me at every hour, and put himself out to assist, acting as a friend, mediator, advisor- you name it, he did it. The end result was everything I wanted- and I have no doubt it was thanks to Jonny and the team. side note- we also used the inhouse barrister Tony Woods. HE was Brilliant and delivered in a spectacular manner, I couldn't recommend him enough. Would absolutely recommend to anybody who requires any sort of legal advice... Its a horrible time, Jonny and the team provided a much needed light, and were absolutely perfect.

I was and continue to be impressed with the service I have received from my solicitor, Catriona was 100% committed to my case and went above and beyond to help me.. not only is she excellent at her job, she is also such a caring person and helped me more than I could have imagined. She helped me with my mental health and spoke to me at length when I was struggling.I would recommend this company to anyone. I cannot thank Catriona enough for what she did for me!!
