Thomas Mansfield Family Law Avis 

I was fortunate to retain Louise Minifie to handle my divorce.All through the process Louise exercised patience, focus and intelligence in assessing the route to follow. She at all times attempted to proceed calmly always mindful of costs.
Her judgment is excellent particularly when as is often the case emotions lead to poor outcomes. I cannot recommend her more highly. She is a credit to her colleagues and a delight to deal with.

Great firm and people, have used employment law side previosuly too. Family law solicitor Kate Newton was excellent, very knowledegable, timely, listened to requests and provided a fantastic service. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much.

I can highly recommend Alice Scambler. She managed my divorce with efficiency and care. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and was supportive throughout. Thank you Alice

My ex was trying to stop me attending my son’s school football matches and dictate what we could and couldn’t do on our weekends together. She made a hostile application to the family court and made untrue allegations of controlling and abusive behaviour. I represented myself at the first hearing but I was attacked by her barrister had been misrepresented to cafcass and the court. The case was scheduled for a final hearing and I was faced with an application for costs. Alice Scambler took control and de-escalated the situation, negotiated an excellent settlement and a consent order was put in place with which I am very happy. Myself and my son are now free to pursue our weekends together without interference.

Terrible service. I was very clear on what help I needed with at initial contact. All they were interested in was getting the initial consultation fee out of you and then surprisingly after the meeting didn't want to help. Would not recommend at all!

Alice was kind, understanding and patient. She listened to me and took time to find out how she could best help me. She encouraged me to find a resolution through mediation, that would limit the cost to me and result in the quickest final result. If you are looking for a solicitor who is keen to find a quick but fair and just resolution, with an open and honest approach to the costs, Alice is your lady.

Mansfield Solicitors were quick to contact me back after a family law enquiry. Their explanations were concise and their attitude constructive. They were proactive and replied quickly to my questions. I would recommend Mansfield solicitors for any issues arising from family law.

Great service and advice received throughout entire divorce process that required several appointments with court to settle finance matters.

Hollie has been fabulous helping me through a difficult and devastating time. Always there when I needed advice and so helpful, sensitive and understanding. She always made me feel at ease and I could not have got through it all without her. Anyone at Thomas Mansfield Family Law, who worked with, or alongside Hollie, that contacted me or dealt with my case from day 1, were all so lovely. I would highly recommend this firm.

My personal situation was fraught and very stressful , Kate had a calm and confident approach which made the Divorce process easier to face and handle. It helped me stick to what I knew I had to do for my wellbeing and safety.

We used Alice Scambler for our Divorce Mediation. Alice was incredibly patient and friendly and made the process as amicable as it could possibly be. We would recommend her and Thomas Mansfield to anyone in the same position.

Susi was great and helped me navigate an arduous and painful process.

Louise Minifie managed quite a messy Separation Agreement with my ex fiance regarding taking ownership of our house.
Toby Fountaine was involved with some of the revised paperwork regarding the house transfer.
Both of these lovely people were very professional, courteous, understanding, friendly, pro-active and always available to answer questions, discuss ongoing matters or suggest suitable and helpful changes.
I would happily recommend Louise's, Toby's and Thomas Mansfield's services to anyone going through a similar situation.

The team have been amazing and especially Alice Scambler, she explained everything along the way and gave me great advice even though mine was an International divorce. Can't thank you enough.

I chose this firm to help me through a very difficult divorce and I'm so glad I did. Abigail Eriksson-Lee, the solicitor who dealt with my case was so supportive and helpful throughout. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone going through divorce, the service is excellent.

As a family we found Emma to be very professional and approachable and works definitely recommend

Fantastic service, fast response and did exactly what was required for the sum quoted, would recommend TM to anybody looking for legal assistance.

Excellent matrimonial and family law advisors and advocates. My experience has been entirely positive with intelligent and sensitive advice given at each key stage, options explained clearly, and very swift and successful action taken where necessary. Areas covered included family law advice and proceedings, divorce and financial proceedings. My solicitor was Ms Eriksson-Lee and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
For those looking to employ solicitors for this very emotionally taxing and sensitive area please remember that the success of even an excellent legal advisor is reliant on the organisation and clear thinking of their clients.

Going through a quite acrimonious and bitter divorce after more than 20 years of marriage ticks all the boxes for stressful, unsettling, angry, unpleasant, anxious, betrayed, worried… My first choice for a solicitor failed miserably as they abandoned me when, struggling with a new reality in my early 60s and being confused and, frankly, helpless, I missed to act promptly and foot the bill for the expected legal service. What they did was to shut me off completely, without a single reminder or a warning. In other words, they left me to hang dry. As things turned from bad to worse, with some disastrous legal consequences affecting me both personally and financially, I decided to choose Thomas Mansfield Solicitors. They were not recommended to me, there was no word of mouth, nothing, just the very fact that one of their offices was relatively close to where I live. And, from a day one, the solicitor who took my case, Mrs. Louise Minifie, acted not only in an utmost professional, cordial, and respectful way, she was also extremely compassionate, helpful, and showed a level of understanding I honestly didn’t expect. From the very first meeting she kept me all the time in the loop, thoroughly explaining to me what to expect, what and how to do, and why is that important for my case. And very soon, I felt so confident and finally at ease with the whole situation. Mrs. Minifie was able to calm me down and to walk me through the whole stressful process without even a hint of patronising or a cold and insensitive ‘You pay, I work’ attitude. I started to become aware that on my side I have not only a highly qualified and versatile solicitor who, of course, and according to the rules of the game, is paid for the services provided, but almost an acquaintance who has a great grasp of legal expertise. And, even more important, eager, and ready to treat you as a human being going through some real tuff times and not a walking credit card (my first solicitor choice came to mind). So, to make a long story short (I guess it does go with the age): now that my divorce is done with, I can only say ‘ Thank you, Louise, thank you for your wisdom and compassion, the confidence and reliability, the very flesh you put on the sturdy skeleton of your knowledge, professionalism and a solicitor-with-a-human-face attitude’.

My experience with TM Family Law was first-class. I had the absolute pleasure of being represented by Hollie Foreman who single-handedly restored my faith in the legal profession. Having used several other solicitors prior to moving to TM Family Law my confidence was at an all-time low. Hollie has the perfect balance of professionalism and genuine care for her clients. She understands the complex nature of divorce especially in domestic abuse cases. She is empathetic and the interest of her clients is paramount to her whilst being completely professional at all times. She is efficient with her time and her common sense approach to charging was excellent. She keeps her clients needs firmly at the forefront of her mind and her advice is not biased towards the needs of her firm but rather what the needs of the client are first and foremost. Most importantly, Hollie empowered me. She has given me the confidence to take back control and get justice when I was ready to give up. I would recommend Hollie and TM Family Law to anyone as in my opinion they are the best firm of solicitors for Family Law in the country.
