Divorcing a non-engaging partner

Divorcing a non-engaging partner.
I was advised on the importance of using a mediator prior to filing. Although I walked in fed-up and hoping for an immediate file of divorce (which I knew was impossible anyway), MsSousa was very patient with me and gave me the best advice on the basis of her experience. I walked out lifted and trusting that my best interests were being served ultimately and this was my best option. Ms Sousa is very thoughtful and in touch with the importance of approaching things from an amicable place and establishing. harmonious process for children. I am not done, but with Ms Sousa, I trust we will get there!

Personalised advice

I had a short encounter with the firm, however it left a good impression.
The administrative side of organisation is excelllent as I had timely reminders for MS Team meetings prior to my apointments.
The advice given by Catherine Sousa was finely tailored to my circumstances.
Should I need a family lawer in the future I will be using the services of Sousa Law.

A Tricky Situation Made Easy

Having, for a variety of reasons, failed to obtain a divorce in France, it was with some trepidation that I approached Sousalaw. I need not have worried as from the first contact with them, Kelvin Mugariri, I was placed in capable and sympathetic hands.

My divorce is now finalised, any delay having been the result of outside agencies and not Sousalaw itself. Throughout the, inevitably, difficult situation everyone with whom I dealt was professional and quick to respond to my questions. Most of my dealings were with Cathy Sousa who, throughout, was both knowledgeable, patient and understanding. I was also contacted by Kerry Sohal, Alice, Palermo, Claire Hill, Madison, Kennedy, and Esther Darmarin. It was a nice, if unplanned, touch that my first and last dealings with the firm were with Kelvin.
I cannot recommend Sousalaw highly enough.

I cannot express in words my relief to have received such excellent advice, support, supreme efforts by Kelvin Mugariri. Excellent work! Kelvin made the entire process stress free and I am grateful for your thoughtfulness and kind support.

Look no further if in need of a family lawyer!

Sousa Law has been absolutely amazing in helping me with my difficult situation with my ex-partner. I had an appointment arranged within a few days after my original enquiry and opening a file has been really quick and smooth. I then met with Cathy who gave me a brilliant advice on how to proceed. Her expertise and confidence reassured me that I am in good hands and shortly after the meeting and the help of Sousa Law team my case progressed in the right direction. I cannot thank the team at Sousa Law enough! Everyone in the office is really kind and helpful and you immediately have a feeling that you have come to the right place. I wish I had called them sooner but better late than never. I now have confidence that my life will soon be on the right track again. Thank you Cathy, Esther and everyone else at Sousa Law!!

Excellent advice and my go to for family law matters.

I needed advice on a family law matter. Sousa Law were very efficient and onboarded me very quickly. I had a consultation a week later with Emma Sanders, who was excellent.

Emma took the time to understand the circumstances, outlined options and gave excellent advice. It was clear that Emma was very professional and has a lot of knowledge and experience in this field and would be an excellent advocate to have.

I have used Sousa Law for advice on a few occasions over recent years and they have always been excellent. Highly recommended.

10/10 for Emma and Souza Law

After already receiving excellent service earlier in the year, I returned to get further advice and assistance. I met with Emma Sanders, who was fantastic. I went in with several worries, and lots of questions... Emma was quick to offer understanding and supply all the facts needed, followed by a suggested course of action and offer of further help.
It's actually quite difficult to explain the difference this has made to my thoughts etc, so let's just say I had the first proper nights sleep I have had in several months afterwards. I would not hesitate in recommending both Emma and the company in general.

Excellent support and advice

SousaLaw provided consistently excellent support and advice during some very challenging times. Cathy is hugely experienced, very clear in her advice, takes the emotion out of the issue and focuses upon securing the right resolution. I would happily recommend SousaLaw's services

Great customer service and support

I spent some considerable time looking for a Solicitor in Southampton before deciding on Sousa Law. I was not disappointed. From the initial meeting with Catherine who gave me sound advice and options to think about, to the care and attention given to me by Danielle in progressing what could have been a difficult situation to resolve, I felt I was in capable hands. I was kept up to date throughout and any questions or emails that I sent were answered promptly. I couldn't have asked for better service and I have no hesitation in recommending Sousa Law.

What a great company.

What a great company. Many will give all the talk in advertising, but then completely disappoint you when it comes to the 'goods'. Not so with Sousa Law. From initial online contact to an actual appointment, everything was professional, pleasant and informative. Danielle was able to offer really good advice which will help me alot, and I won't hesitate in going back for anything else that requires a 'professionals eye' etc.
Also, a big thankyou to the lovely ladies in the office! Friendly, welcoming and just plain nice!

Amazing Support

I have had the benefit of the fantastic service provided by Sousa Law.
All the team are highly professional and provide amazing service.
Family Law can be very challenging but the advice and support I have received during this difficult time has been nothing but amazing.
I feel totally cared for.
Unlike other Legal firms who just want your money the advice and support I have received from Catherine and her team has always been centred firmly on my needs.
I cannot recommend their services more highly

I felt like I could trust

I met with Danielle Chandler-Hesmondhalgh for an initial consultation. She was very professional and gave me a good review of the situation. She also had time to answer my questions which I appreciated very much.

I will count on her and the firm she works at should I need family legal services in the future.

Professional, knowledgable and understanding

I met with Cathy yesterday, She has a very kind demeanour and is very knowledgeable. Her approach was very professional. I took a lot more of her time than 30mins and she wasn't phased one bit! I left feeling much better than when I went in! Thank you very much!

Sousa Law have been very professional…

Sousa Law have been very professional in all dealings to date. I am particularly impressed with Danielle who recently assisted me with a contested Non-Molestation order at very short notice. She was calm under pressure and very experienced with these matters. She achieved a very successful outcome in what was a difficult and personal situation. I would thoroughly recommend the firm Cathy and her team are highly professional, collaborative and knowledgeable within this complex divorce and family areas.
