Calm, methodical and professional
From my initial phone call enquiry with Kelvin through to the actual consultation with Kim, I can honestly say they are truly wonderful. Everything was straight forward and paperwork easy to navigate. Kelvin instantly gives a Calmness into what can be a very stressful time and Kim takes the time to listen and answer everything in a very profession and comfortable way.
Friendly professional staff
Friendly professional staff, really informative.

Sousa Law gave me incredible service and went over and above to make sure I always knew what was going on. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor.
Excellent service, couldn't recommend enough.
I have recently had an hours consultation with Cathy to discuss my options in an ongoing family issue. She was very good at explaining the options I have. Although I already had an idea of what I want to do it was very beneficial to hear things I hadn't considered which would help the situation. I would have no hesitation in using Sousa Law again in the future if required.

I arranged a one hour free consultation with trainee solicitor, Alice Palermo, within a free days of my initial enquiry. This was via zoom. Alice was really helpful, answered my queries and gave me all the information I needed at that time. Kelvin, the legal assistant, dealt with my initial enquiry on the phone and was helpful and gave detailed information.

I contacted Sousa Law for advice about a financial order. The service received has been excellent from the free initial consultation through to completion of the process. Alice and everyone on the team at Sousa Law were fantastic.
Amazing staff, amazing service!
I have used Sousa Law on several occasions and the level of service I received was consistently first rate. The team are lovely and Cathy is great at explaining things in layman's terms to ensure everything is clear. I couldn't recommend them enough if you want to feel your matter is in safe hands and they are working to ensure the best outcome for you.
Incompetent from start to finish
Incompetent from start to finish. Purchase of property documents with wrong price and address on. Also asked for deed poll and will to be completed as part of the transaction. Did the deed poll but they still get my name wrong. Utterly useless when dealing with legal queries, you would be better off with advice from the local drunk in the pub.

Free consultation that lasted well over an hour. Lots of really sound advice, no attempt to push us down the litigation route. You can tell they are very experienced which fills you with confidence. What's not to like?
Most helpful,unhurried and empathetic, as well as impartial free advice.
I'm in a very distressing and upsetting time with an elderly relative, desperately seeking help and a way forward. Having contacted several solicitors who all wanted heft fees we can't afford at this time, and having virtually exhausted all other avenues of help, Catherine Souza kindly gave me a free over-the-phone consultation. She was not only very kind and helpful as you would expect from a law firm, but she was also a very good listener, allowing me to take time to explain my worries, and allowing me to explain at length the horrible and complex family situation I find myself in. Furthermore, she was knowledgeable about this rare situation, she was positive and she didn't try to 'sell' me her services.
I am so grateful to Souza Law, and to Catherine's staff who were also polite, attentive and helpful. I would definitely use them for any solicitor needs I might need now or in the future.
Would definitely recommend!
Concise, clear and honest advice. Sousa Law helped me through my split from my husband and I couldn't be more grateful for the advice and help that I received!

I can highly recommend Cathy for legal representation. From our initial contact, Cathy was an exceptional listener and provided timely and relevant advice. Keeping the best interests of all parties at heart, Cathy was incredibly supportive. She offers a perfect balance of professionalism, with a noticeable consideration for the emotional nature of a difficult divorce. All of our email, telephone and face to face meetings made me feel more knowledgeable and able to deal with the situation. I thank Cathy and her team for unending support

Thank you very helpful and advise was clear and to the point can’t thank you enough
Clear, supportive team
I engaged Sousa Law to help negotiate a parenting agreement with my ex-partner. I found them very supportive throughout, and they gave me a very clear idea of what was happening, as well as advice about my options. I was very pleased with how things were resolved.
Sousa Law really help when you need it the most
I have used Sousa Law for two different reasons and both times they have been amazing. They have always been clear and provided the most cost effective solutions with some times advising that the legal fee will mean that some options are not cost effective. I have never felt pressured and they have provide a lot of free advice as well.
