We recently instructed Freeman Jones Solicitors to deal with some employment law issues and were very pleased with both the advice and service we received. Matters were dealt with promptly and we were very satisfied with the outcome. Freeman Jones come highly recommended, we have used them in the past and have always been pleased with how they have dealt with our legal affairs. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Andrew First rate employment solicitors
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Colin and his dedicated team for providing EXCELLENT service when dealing with the complexities associated with my divorce. I would highly recommend anyone seeking professional advice to pick up the phone and feel at ease their problems will be resolved in a cost-effective prompt manner. Freeman Jones Solicitors have been there every step of the way and I will be forever eternally grateful.

Anita Divorce
My partner and I have recently entered a civil partnership and we wanted the additional security of a pre-civil partnership agreement. This document was being overseen by another local family law firm (commissioned by my partner). Due to significant delays, errors, and poor communication by my partner's law firm, I was unable to organise my own independent legal advice until two weeks prior to our ceremony. This was an incredibly stressful and anxious time for me but thankfully I was supported by Colin Freeman, Freeman Jones Solicitors. Throughout the initial telephone consultation and subsequent face-to-face meeting, I felt that Colin understood the requirements of the documentation and the time pressures required for the task. Colin was honest and transparent in his discussions, which helped to manage my anxieties and expectations. I felt that I was receiving professional and expert advice and Colin was able to answer my queries when I got lost in the legal terminology. This was very reassuring to me. However, it was his actions in redrafting and presenting an agreement that I was happy with, in the short time frame which meant that he worked on his day off, that impressed me the most. I felt valued as a client and would want to be supported by Colin in any future legal matters.

Karen B Independent advice on Pre Civil Partnership Agreement
After our previous solicitors went into liquidation and our two wills were lost, it was important for us to find a solicitor we could trust and rely on. Colin Freeman informed us of information that we were unaware of regarding wills and also helped us with lasting Powers of Attorney. We would recommend Freeman Jones Solicitors.

Susan Helped us
Colin was professional, honest, and very forthcoming with advice in relation to our situation. Would highly recommend it!
