The team at JMW Solicitors were the most supportive professionals anyone could have hoped for during a divorce case as complex and unconventional as mine. From the moment I met Michael Rowlands in the UAE in 2020, I felt confident that he and the team at JMW were the right people to guide me through the process.

Throughout the case, JMW demonstrated exceptional professionalism, particularly Tracey Rodford. The team handled the constant barrage of requests from my ex-husband’s legal team with patience, efficiency and calm professionalism. No matter the time of day, they were always available to respond to emails and phone calls, consistently providing sensible and reassuring advice during extremely difficult circumstances.

When the matter reached its final hearing in 2024, JMW’s preparation and attention to detail became evident. Their thorough work and tireless dedication resulted in a strong and well-prepared case, which ultimately contributed to the judge ruling in our favour.

On a personal level, Tracey, Michael, Eleanor, Vanessa, Lucy and Nick were incredibly supportive throughout what was an emotionally exhausting experience, particularly while managing legal proceedings from overseas. The emotional support Tracey gave me on the day of the trial was especially invaluable. I was extremely scared and nervous, but her professionalism, calm, reassuring manner helped ease my fears and gave me the confidence and strength to get through one of the most difficult days of my life. She showed genuine care and compassion at a time when I needed it most, and I will always be grateful for her support.

If it had not been for the kindness, dedication and hard work of everyone at JMW, there were times when I genuinely do not know how I would have found the strength to continue with the case.
