What Our Clients Say

Fantastic service and very helpful staff in the family department. Lorraine was particularly supportive at a difficult time.

Anonymous,

Your support has been invaluable to me over the past two years.I really appreciate all of your advice and that I could speak with you so candidly without pretence. Chloe is a fantastically efficient person to have by your side who I also appreciated working hard when it came to getting the documents over quickly.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you and all the staff at wellers for all the effort and hard work you have put in on behalf of cayson and myself. Thanks to your efforts and the way you have conducted this case throughout the time you have been in charge representing me I have felt nothing but confidence and an overwhelming feeling that your role as a family law solicitor is more to you than just a job. Having you on side which ever way it goes in the end I can sit back in years to come knowing I did my best by him and the representation was second to no one.

Terry,

I sought advice and was put in touch with Lorraine. She immediately put me at ease, was friendly, caring, understanding and attentive. She explained the process fully and gave me my options. She then guided me through each step. I felt confident in her care.

Daaanaaa,

I instructed Wellers to handle my divorce, they were friendly, approachable, prompt and easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Not the cheapest, but well worth the fees paid. Highly recommend.

Lorrane,

Hi, I have had the pleasure of being represented by Wellers on three separate occasions to do with Family law and particularly Lorraine and Quang. Whilst their charges are middle of the road when compared with others I have always found them only interested in acting on my behalf and know the law inside out which has resulted yet again in achieving the desired result. Divorces and child cases are often very emotional and the games that get played are often more a distraction than fact but these guys wade through the smoke and mirrors to present facts of the case. Believe in how they approach things and you will get the desired results. Whilst nothing is ever guaranteed in life, its good to know I have a legal team I could turn to when necessary. In my opinion paying what you do is much better than paying less or foregoing legal advice and paying the price later. I have no qualms in recommending both Lorraine and Quang for their work.

Steve,
