“I have been using Family First’s Pay as you Go service right the way through, from thinking about issuing divorce proceedings, to going through to obtaining a financial agreement. From start to finish, the service has been excellent. I have had the right help, at the right time, and have felt completely supported. Henrietta has always been there to guide me with her help and advice. As a result, I’ve felt enabled to go ahead and act as a Litigant in Person.  I’ve learned a huge amount in the process, and have made the 60 Minute Facebook Lives a regular fixture in my diary – there’s always something new to learn and they are a great resource! All in all, I’ve saved a significant amount in legal fees and I still achieved the outcome I sought. I’d heartily recommend Family First to anyone needing advice on family law. Thank you Henrietta and everyone at Family First.”

“I found the whole process very straightforward with Henrietta’s help, and will definitely recommend her should anyone I know need the help of a family solicitor in the future. We had our Civil Partnership Ceremony on the 12th May as planned and are both pleased the Pre-Nup Agreement we wanted was achieved, despite slight unavoidable delays.”

“Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication throughout this case, myself and my partner are both very grateful.”

“Would like to thank Henrietta, Maria and Carman for all their help throughout my case involving my daughter. From start to finish I felt reassured and at ease with the process and felt understood. Both myself and my partner are extremely great full for your time and patience which led us to the outcome he wanted. Many thanks.”

“I visited Henrietta Pote, Legal Executive at Family First Solicitors, Oxford, following the breakdown of my marriage. I had little idea of how difficult and protracted the process would become and how much I would come to rely and value her excellent professional advice.

Despite being a very short marriage (16 months) and there being no children involved we ended up in court at a First Directions Appointment Hearing. From applying to the initial Decri Nisi to preparing for the court hearing Henrietta consistently provided very sound and helpful advice and worked tirelessly throughout the process to try and resolve the issues in an amicable way as possible without recourse to the courts. Despite all the difficulties encountered she remained calm throughout and was always there to provide support and advice to me even at short notice. I could have not have asked for a better legal representative and I know that those 9 months would have been so much harder without her professional help and support. I also felt that she endeavoured to keep costs from mounting wherever possible.

In addition I have always found the staff at Family First to be incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend the firm to others.”
