” I would firstly like to say that Brittany has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of professional, dedicated support. From day one, Brittany has shown nothing but professionalism, compassion, and determination. Thanks to her incredible work, I’ve been able to reconnect with my three children — something I will forever be grateful for. Brittany went above and beyond, often working behind the scenes even outside of her usual hours, to make sure everything was progressing as it should. She told me at the beginning that it would be a long journey, but that we would get the outcome I was hoping for — and she was absolutely right.

I would also like to give a big thank-you to her assistant, Lynne, who has been equally fantastic, keeping me updated with phone calls and letters throughout the process. I truly can’t thank both Brittany and Lynne enough for everything they’ve done.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“The divorce process can be very lengthy, tiring and challenging. Katie at Jones Myers was really clear on the process from the start which helped to manage expectations. She has a solid knowledge that helped me to understand the process and gave great legal advice that helped to progress the divorce and come to a reasonable resolution outside of court. Katie is friendly and approachable and these things really matter when going through a significant life event such as divorce. All questions were answered and advice shared throughout. This gave me confidence in decision making and I believe we achieved the best outcome for my family.”

Jones Myers Client, 2026

“Katie Jennings (along with Sarah Martin) has been fab – really helpful, patient, kind and easy to deal with. Katie and Sarah have made a difficult situation (my divorce) both bearable and straightforward.
Thank you.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“I can’t recommend Nicki, Lynne, and the team at Jones Myers (York) highly enough. My divorce was complex and involved a family home, a business, and pensions, so it wasn’t a straightforward process by any stretch. From the outset, Lynne was absolutely brilliant incredibly responsive, calm, and reassuring. She made contact easy and always kept things moving, which really mattered during a stressful time. Nicki was outstanding. She clearly knows her stuff, explained everything in a way I could understand, and guided me through the process with confidence and clarity. At one point I made the (ill-advised!) decision to try and represent myself, which I quickly realised was a mistake. Nicki stepped in, untangled the situation, and quite literally saved me thousands. I’m genuinely grateful for that. What stood out most was how supported I felt throughout. This wasn’t just about legal knowledge it was about judgement, experience, and knowing when to push and when to steady things. I would 100% use Nicki and the Jones Myers team again… although I sincerely hope I never need to! If you’re facing a complex divorce and want someone you can trust in your corner, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

Jones Myers Client, 2026

“I only have good things to say about Jones Myers and Anna Bell in particular. From the first moment we met I was put at ease and knew I was in good hands. During the worst year of my life Anna (and Lynne) have been pivotal in getting me and my family through it in one piece. Anna is very caring, patient, empathetic and very clear with her advice and what would happen at each stage. The team are very responsive, I was always able to get in touch with them when I needed. The massive cherry on top was I got the best outcome I could have imagined when my relocation was granted. The aftercare from Jones Myers has also been fantastic. Thank you so much Anna.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“I cannot thank Brittany Codling, Anna Bell, Lynne Richards and the team at Jones Myers enough for their exceptional service throughout my divorce proceedings, especially during the recent FDR hearing, which concluded in a very successful outcome for me. From day one, Jones Myers demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and provided clear, honest advice. Their attention to detail, calm approach, and strategic thinking were exactly what I needed during what was often an emotionally draining process. The preparation for the FDR was meticulous, and their advocacy and negotiation skills during the hearing were second to none. I always felt heard, informed, and supported. They managed to secure a fair financial settlement while handling the case with professionalism and empathy throughout. If you’re going through a divorce and need someone who is both compassionate and tenacious, I highly recommend Jones Myers. They made a very difficult time more manageable and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward.”

 

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“I don’t know if I can put into words the gratitude I feel towards Anna for her help & support throughout what was easily the most difficult period of my life. My divorce was not an easy one to deal with, but I felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole process & her guidance on how to deal with very difficult situations was invaluable. Unfortunately court was unavoidable, but Anna handpicked the very best barrister (Alyssa) to represent me & it filled me with confidence that I was in the safest hands on what was a very scary day. I also can’t write a review without mentioning Lynne; the world’s most lovely legal secretary & my shoulder to cry on many times! Thank you both so much for your kindness, compassion & support – I will always be grateful to you both for how you helped me get through everything.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“Having never needed legal services in my previous 49 yrs I found myself meeting the most lovely secretary Lynne & outstanding Solicitor Anna Jones in June 2022. I would like to say I was recommended to Anna by a friend of mine who is herself a solicitor! I have nothing to compare this situation to but I have recommended Anna and Lynne to friends and I know of one who has started using the services themselves. I hope to never need the services of this ‘dream team’ again but will forever be grateful for how they have helped me move on.”

Jones Myers Client, 2023

“Lynne Richards also deserves a special mention. I have said I would use the firm again, and I absolutely would. Although obviously I hope I never have to!”

Jones Myers Client, 2023

“I can’t thank Lindsey enough for the incredible work she did on my case. From our very first meeting, I felt completely at ease and knew I was in capable hands. Lindsey was so professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely empathetic and supportive throughout the entire process. Lindsey has a remarkable ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that’s easy to understand, and she was always quick to respond to my questions, no matter how small. Lindsey attention to detail is outstanding, and it’s clear she is dedicated to getting the best possible outcome for her clients. I was consistently impressed by her hard work, and the result of my case speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is trustworthy, highly skilled, and truly cares, I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsey Cross and the team at Jones Myers. They truly went above and beyond for me, and I’m so grateful for their fantastic work. ”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“Throughout my experience with Jones Myers, I was looked after by Liz and Becky for my divorce, and Kate and Lisa for my child arrangements. They have been the shoulder I have required on various occasions throughout the past year and have continuously offered me reassurance, time and the advice required. They didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear, they were honest which is all anyone can ask for and I cannot fault them for anything. Any problems which came to light they solved quickly, and I’ll be forever grateful. Hopefully I can now move forward with my life. Thank you for everything.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“Becky Vine was extremely professional and supportive. We are extremely grateful for her work and found her advice very helpful. We were able to complete our order feeling confident with what we had included and equipped with all the necessary information to consider before we sent it to the court. She was transparent with regards to costs and billing which is always appreciated and I feel that it was money well spent.

I would highly recommend Becky as she provided an excellent service that was personal to my situation – thank you!”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

Legal 500, 2025

“From walking into the York branch of Jones Myers I felt immediately in a safe and supportive place. Every single member of the team was professional, knowledgeable and so helpful and friendly. I was very lucky to have Anna representing me and working on my case. Over the next two years she was incredibly supportive and helped me through all the stages of a complicated divorce process. No question was too small for Anna and she sign posted me to other recommended professionals I needed along side the divorce process (mortgage broker/barrister etc) . Throughout the stages Anna kept me up to date and helped me through the court process and supported me deal with things I had no knowledge of. She has a wealth of experience but it also very easy to talk too and she makes you feel safe. I recommend her and Jones Myers to anyone looking for legal representation! I would most definitely use Anna again if I needed legal advice.”

Jones Myers Client, 2026

“The best professional support.

I am so grateful to Anna Bell for the highly professional support she has given me during my divorce. During the worst period of my life Anna was there to advise and act for me, always empathic, approachable and friendly, and always assertive where she needed to be to ensure a fair outcome all round. I highly recommend Anna for legal advice and representation.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

Anna was genuine and caring and I felt in very good hands. I would highly recommended Anna.”

Jones Myers Client, 2025

“Anna has been brilliant in helping me through a tricky child arrangements order after family time had been withheld. What I liked was Anna’s very personable approach and her colleagues too I’ll add, her quick understanding and response to the case details as they unfolded was reassuring. Anna clearly has great depth of experience and resources available to help guide clients through difficult times with rock solid advice and planning. I always knew where I was in the process, fantastic timely communication which I appreciated as well as picking out the important points in my long-winded emails! My case has had a great outcome, thanks to Anna.”

Jones Myers Client, 2024

“Anna is amazing! Professional, concise, caring, understanding. Her ability and intent to listen is 2nd to none. Being a single dad going through a divorce was tough, every time I interacted with her I felt at ease after.

I’m so grateful I met her and without a doubt would recommend her. She’s class!”

“Anna comforted, listened, never pressured me re time & constantly reassured me this WOULD ALL be ok in the end. We are a year on now and almost at the completion of our professional journey.

She has guided me through unknown territory & I have felt safe with her throughout. She has always taken my children and financial situation moving forward into account.”

Jones Myers Client, 2023
