What People Say
They were straight talking, and dealt with things with speed and attention to detail. They were also very good listeners, understanding my needs and concerns.
Generally, I feel anxious and unnerved about everything most of the time but I always feel better when I have seen you!
A solicitor with excellent judgement and a real commitment to his clients.
I always knew where I stood because of the clear advice even when I did not want to hear it.
I had such an amazing result from my case. I really appreciate all the work and thought that you put in.
I am writing to thank you and your legal colleagues for recommending Selby Lowndes LLP legal team who helped me through these proceedings. Their dedication, tact and perseverance are laudable. They have been very supportive throughout, and never failed to deliver to help me out in most difficult times.
A great person to have on your team; he fights hard for his clients but is pleasant to deal with.
I cannot thank you enough for your help, support and encouragement. When I first came to see you I was absolutely petrified and really did not think I could go through with it. Your advice, calm manner and belief that this was possible, enabled me to summon the strength to escape what was a nightmare for so many years.
Brings a wealth of experience in family work.
I just knew I could put my trust in you and you would always make the right decisions for me and my girls. You made me feel at ease and … you explained things so well and in detail.
I wanted to write to say a big ‘thank you’ for being such a great solicitor and helping me get through these difficult processes as well as I can imagine someone could. I am really appreciative of the style with which you did this and that you sometimes lightened it all with your sense of humour!
I didn’t realise what a difficult job you had. You’ve done an amazing job having to deal with my lying, cheating muppet of an ex-husband! If it hadn’t been for you then I would have ended up with nothing. My children and I will be forever grateful to you. Thank you for all your help and advice.
It’s been a long and difficult journey but your support and advice throughout has been exceptional. So glad you took my case.
Dear Jane, Thank you very much for your email, I am so glad it did go well and for now is over! I wanted to thank you for all your support and work for the last couple of years and to say how much I appreciated it. You made me feel so heard and seen which is something priceless.
Dear Jane, Thank you for your advice and assistance over the last year. Most importantly I’m so grateful for the compassion you showed me which shone through when I was at my most vulnerable.
Dear Ms. Crumpton, I have approved the order. I hope you receive some recognition from your firm for your diligent work on this unusual case.
Dear Kelsey, Thank you for all your valuable help. I really appreciate it. I don’t want to sound big headed, but I was right when I said you’ll be going places with your talent! Much as I think you’re brilliant, but… nothing personal… I hope I don’t have reason to use you again! We all deserve a break! Surely though, I will recommend you and William to others as the dream team.
I wanted to thank you for your guiding hand throughout this process. You have been reassuring, pragmatic, kind and supportive and I am deeply grateful that I had you on my side.
Excellent judgement.
Experienced and obviously very competent.
