I would highly recommend Gabrielle as a solicitor, she stepped in part way through my case and really helped pick up the pieces when things felt overwhelming and disorganised. From the start, she was professional, approachable, and very understanding of my situation. She kept me well informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and made sure I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. I never felt left in the dark, which made a really difficult time much easier to cope with. Her support and attention to detail made a real difference to my case, and I’m very grateful for everything she did. I genuinely felt she cared about getting the best outcome for me and my family. I would absolutely recommend Gabrielle to anyone needing a reliable and supportive solicitor, thank you

Thank you Switalskis

I have gone through a particularly difficult, drawn-out and stressful divorce litigation case, during which the Switalskis Solicitors, especially Catherine Cain, Allan Layfield, and then latterly the barrister Mark Saunders, have been extremely supportive in both their attention to the details surrounding the case and towards me personally. The settlement of this case in my favour is due in no small part to the hard work, persistence and guidance of Catherine and Allan, and the experience and skill of presenting my case so forensically to the court by Mark. During this very stressful time you have supported me and ensured my voice was heard in court. I am immensely grateful to all of you.
King Regards, C.Thomas & Family

Catherine Cain - Switalski’s

Catherine Cain is an exceptionally kind, caring, and compassionate solicitor who went above and beyond throughout what was a very distressing family court case. She reassured me at every stage, easing the strain and burden the proceedings placed on me and making an incredibly difficult time far more manageable. I found Catherine to be honest, truthful, and deeply empathetic, and I always felt listened to and supported. My emails and calls were dealt with promptly and efficiently, and her professionalism and dedication never wavered. I am extremely grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal representation.

Exceptional Services

Allan, Taylor and Switalski colleagues were always available to support any questions I had, and offer reassurance, everyone is friendly, helpful and polite, they are not just your solicitors and do really care about the individual client. I was recommended by a colleague who had also been supported by Allan and was extremely happy with the services she received.

Absolutely terrible

Absolutely terrible. Changed lawyers throughout my case I believe 3 times. On top of that didnt listen to what I actually said. Not helpful. Do not hire them for family matters under any circumstances.

It is very important to see a solicitor when dealing with difficult problems, for example, probate after someone dies. I did this and I was so glad that I did. I had a very understanding and empathetic young lady. I am not a young person by any means but she took the time to explain everything making the occasional suggestion for which I was very grateful. Thank you so much.

It’s never easy to go through divorce

It’s never easy to go through divorce, all the stress it brings to you and your family’s life, unpredictable financial implications and being vulnerable and not knowing what’s gonna happen next when it will all end. when I started my divorce proceedings I ended up being involved in children’s case, non molestation case, occupation order, grandparents case, intervenors case, financial proceedings and wasted costs process. Allan Layfield at Switalskis solicitor was really professional, empathetic and sensitive at handling all of my cases. Admin staff were extremely polite and helpful. No questions were ever silly questions and they always kept at the forefront of what mattered to me, my children and our safety. It was a very long journey for us but I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with any of my cases.

Excellent Service By Allan Layfield

We have used Switalskis in the past and have been immensely impressed by the service - this experience was no different! My family was represented by Allan Layfield (Family Law Department) who was able to provide the best quality service, guidance and advice on the matters presented.
The case became lengthy and the representation from the initial stages all the way to the court case was fantastic.
We felt at ease throughout the entire process & would highly recommend Switalskis, especially Allan, who can always be relied upon with his knowledge & expertise!

Excellent service

Dealt with Allan Layfield who was excellent to work with on a family matter case. He was upmost professional and always kept us up to date throughout the entire time he worked on the case. Switalskis have also dealt with our matters in the past and the service was always great, this time no different. Would definitely recommend Switalskis for any type of legal matters, especially Allan Layfield who is a great asset to the firm. Thank you once again.

Highly recommended

Alan Layfield was highly recommended to me when I was let down by another firm.
I wasn’t disappointed, although my case was complex, Alan put me at ease, supported me throughout with empathy and understanding and gave me realistic, honest advice to enable me to achieve a positive outcome. I would highly recommend Switalskis to anyone wrapped up in family court matters, their service is second to none.

Due to a very high conflict separation which also involved children, Switalskis was recommended to me, and I have been working with Allan Layfield for some years now - and I could not recommend more highly. Fantastic experience with all staff.

Excellent Service

Switalskis have provided an exceptional level of service through a long winded and difficult divorce.

Alan was very empathetic, professional and efficient throughout. Despite the difficulties thrown up by the other side and also the Covid Pandemic. I would recommend anyone going through a divorce to consider using the firm.

The lady solicitor who made our problems minimal

The lady who we worked with Fiona Haigh was exceptional. Her business skills were outstanding and her business manner was exceptional. She made it all feel very easy to accept with a natural confidence coming over so well . She is a gem of an employee. Thank you. Bill Kippax.
