Testimonials

'I used Pickerings Solicitors for a very stressful family event that was ongoing for over 18 months. My solicitor was Jo Craddock. Jo was an extremely professional and hard working  solicitor who provided solid advice and made the very complex case easy to understand. She was always just an email away and, no matter how busy she was, would always reply very quickly. Jo provided a very personable  service which was second to none, whether that be in person, over the phone or via email. She was trustworthy, diligent and had a strong knowledge of family law.

Thank you to Jo and Pickerings for helping me get my daughter back home where she belongs and where she is now thriving.

I would recommend Pickerings solicitors for any family issues without question.'
