How our team helped their client

This heartfelt review left by our client Lee

I would like to thank the solicitors at K J Smith for the professional and friendly way they handled my divorce, especially Beth, Emily & Antonia. It's been a long drawn out process and at every step they were there with updates and answered any questions I had.

Obviously I wouldn't wish a divorce on anyone, but if you are looking for a firm that are friendly and professional, look no further.

Free family workshops with Storm Copestake

We run workshops, which are free of charge to all existing clients.

Our ‘Figuring out Family’ workshops are run by a professional coach, Storm Copestake from Bright Minds Kids’ Life Coaching. They’re group sessions for parents and children aged 6-9 (morning sessions) and 10-13 (afternoon sessions).

During the sessions, the children will have a safe and confidential environment to talk about their feelings around divorce and changes to their family.

We talk through their questions, and give the children practical skills and tools to handle their feelings.

Existing clients need only speak to a member of the team at your local branch to find out more. Or email us or call us to book a session.
