Testimonials:

‘I have benefitted from Jessica’s help during a difficult divorce over the last 12 months and can wholeheartedly recommend her and Streathers as a whole to anyone who’ll be going through this process.

Jessica’s ability to think quickly, calmly and logically about the best approach to take when dealing with the very challenging situations we found ourselves in while dealing with the other side massively put me at ease. I’d had several conversations with other solicitors before choosing to work with Streathers and none came close to showing the level of compassion and care that Jessica did for me and my circumstances: this was just as important a factor for me as knowledge and technical ability when having to go through such an emotional process.

Since my divorce concluded just a few months ago, I’ve already referred a friend to Jessica who I’d previously told about her: while I hope none of my other friends decide to get divorced anytime soon, I won’t hesitate to recommend both Jessica and Streathers again in the future!’

‘Jessica Palmer guided me through the legal process and ultimately achieved my desired outcome. She was available for advice at all times and was friendly and sympathetic to my needs. I would recommend her and Streathers Hampstead without reservation.’

‘Streathers have been from the first meeting polite, professional and highly knowledgeable about divorce law. Jessica Palmer gave invaluable advice which saved my property and made the process easy.’
