What our clients say

“My experience of working alongside Richard, Rosanna and Kate, in difficult circumstances throughout divorce proceedings, was one of consistent support, high quality guidance and advice. I would be happy to recommend them all and Jones Myers as highly professional and knowledgeable, it was a top quality service from first meeting, through to the conclusion of the divorce.”

Jones Myers Client, 2024

“I can’t believe I am finally at the end, Kate and Lisa supported me for over two years throughout the most traumatic experience of my life. I ended up in a situation with my children that I never imagined possible but I thank Kate and Lisa for their continued support, professionalism and guidance in navigating this process which at times I felt was completely overwhelming. They supported me through many tearful conversations. I hope to never need the services of Kate and Lisa again but I am very grateful for them being there when me and my children needed it. Thank you.”
