“Thank you for all your assistance over the past couple of years, we will be forever grateful”.
“I have been so impressed with the service that King Street Solicitors have provided. They have always been exceptionally prompt with communications and fully transparent with all costs both present and going forward. I am very grateful to Linsey, who has always shown professional integrity but has also been very supportive and offered lots of wise and helpful advice”.
“When I was advised to find a family solicitor I didn’t know where to start. I utilised google to find local firms then read the reviews and services on offer. I selected King Street as they specialise in this specific area of law. Linsey was allocated for my free initial consultation. She quickly arranged a follow up meeting and guided me through the process to ensure mine and my children’s safety at a time I was in shock and unable to think clearly. I will be forever grateful for the calm professional way she guided me through the worst period in mine and my children’s lives. Throughout my case she has been a calming figure, never phased by my anxiety, guiding me through in a balanced professional way. She never promised a particular outcome but gave me a realistic view of the potential outcomes and the approach we could take. I valued her knowledge, with input from others in the firm as needed. I know she had mine and my children’s best interests at heart throughout a long difficult process. She displayed the key attributes you would want in a family solicitor – balanced, professional, knowledgeable and supportive.”
Linsey has worked in Law since completing her secondary education and began life as paralegal in 2004. Linsey qualified as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives in 2008 as she did not take the traditional route to qualify as a lawyer, having worked full time and completed her studies part-time.
