Brigstow Family Law - Bristol

James Smith

Bessie at Brigstow Family Law has been incredible at all stages of my divorce process - the initial meeting we had was so thorough and clear that I felt prepared and informed for all that followed in mediation. I cannot imagine there being a better firm to work with and I would not hesitate in recommending Bessie and her team at Brigstow.

I felt confident in moving forward, clear on how to behave in negotiation, and thoroughly supported at all stages in an empathetic and pragmatic manner. Bessie's advice is sensible, concise and she has the ability to predict how negotiation might develop - providing the tools to navigate this. This allowed me to make informed decisions and prepare carefully in my own time.

Bessie was considerate of my situation and careful to explain costs and the options available to me. I would recommend Brigstow to anyone looking for advice or representation and can assure you will receive a compassionate ear and an honest and practical plan to support your decisions.

Bessie was amazing! She really went above and beyond. She was approachable, professional, knowledgeable and had impeccable attention to detail. She actually won the case in the first hearing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this wonderful woman.

I have been using Bessie who has been brilliant in an extremely difficult divorce. Bessie has the skills to deal with high conflict matters and her communication with me has been excellent, taking away the stress. If you have a very difficult ex-partner who will not engage or continues to make things very difficult, I can highly recommend Brigstow Family Law.

Heather Grant

Bessie was an incredible help through a very difficult divorce. She was clear in her communication with me regarding matters of law, but I also found her empathetic. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I am so grateful for all her hard work. In my opinion she went above and beyond.

Brigstow Family Law have been superb in the handling of my very delicate and emotional family case. Not only were they very professional, knowledgeable and thorough they also managed to remain positive, friendly and took the lead in all matters to reach an end goal.

The team provided me with confidence from the get go, the arrangements for child access were negotiated swiftly and they cut through all of the emotion which was very helpful. Addressing the birth certificate paperwork in a comprehensive manner took place immediately again allowing me to sleep easier at night knowing the correct steps were being followed so I could focus on looking after a new born.

From the start of the process until the end, Brigstow provided clear direction, set out my goals and were upfront and honest when they felt something would not be able to be resolved in the manner I wanted. This expert opinion was correct at every turn in my case and I am incredibly thankful to the team there. I cannot recommend them enough, post break up devastation can lead to confusion and this firm are clearly experts at cutting through the noise to help support and achieve a clients goals. You will be in trusted hands with this firm.

Helen Sommerville

I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough. She has supported me though a number of stressful
financial dispute cases and I have had complete trust and confidence in her from the start. When I had my initial phone conversation with Sharon, I knew that I had found what I was looking for. It can be difficult to find the right solicitor and I had had a negative experience at another firm. Faith restored completely - we have always had open and honest communication and I have trusted Sharon's advice implicitly. Sharon has excellent judgment and she always provides clarity about the situation - at whatever stage of the process. Nothing was ever too much trouble and Sharon always provided empathy and ongoing reassurance. My heartfelt thanks - I can't imagine going through the process without her - and it is hugely reassuring knowing that I can go back to her at any time for advice or further representation.
