Family Testimonials

“I was referred to J M Wilson Solicitors by the local police after the breakdown of my relationship with my husband. I saw Jenny Sharma who offered me an initial free appointment. I was so upset at the time because the breakdown was not expected, we have a young child together and I only came to live in the UK for my husband. After the breakdown I wanted to return to my native country (Hungary) taking my child with me. However my husband was refusing to let our child leave the UK. I was totally alone in the UK with no family support.

From the outset Jenny was reassuring but also very honest. She told me the negatives with my case as well as the positives.

The immigration team at the firm were able to assist with advice on both my immigration status and that of my husband who was not a UK national.

Despite my husband trying to fight the divorce proceedings, we succeeded in getting the divorce. For me the most difficult and complicated part was the children case. I had to obtain the permission of the court to take my daughter to live with me Hungary. My husband fought it all the way, and after a number of hearings the judge sided with me and agreed for her to move to Hungary. I did not understand the law but Jenny was able to explain it in such a simple way.

I was so grateful for Jenny’s help, I have never regretted making the decision to choose her. I was full of stress for the past year but her messages and kind words always calmed me down. She was right in her advice on how to handle the case. Thank you so much.”

A.MReassuring but also very honest

“Jenny acted for me in my divorce and financial case which was heard in London. Jenny was recommended to me by a friend, I was unhappy with my then solicitor because of the lack of personal input and I was looking for a more friendly, personal approach.

At the outset Jenny told me what the fair split of assets should be, an equal division. We had a house which was held in my husband’s sole name, pensions and jewellery. I left the property with nothing but the clothes I was wearing. My husband and his solicitors believed I should not receive an equal amount and that a 20-30% share was fair. We ended up issuing proceedings at court due to my husband’s refusal to budge from his position. The case settled at the second hearing stage with the judge supporting our view of an equal split of the assets. Needless to say, my husband increased his offer.

I just want to say a ‘Big’ thank you for all your hard work, dedication, support, help and love in this situation.

You’re a lovely and caring person, you made this whole experience bearable, and gave me hope when I had none. You kept me true to myself with your honest and truthful approach. I am truly grateful for that because I won this case with some integrity and self-respect. Thank you for that, I will never forget it.”

“I would like to thank Jenny Sharma for the service I received in relation to divorce and financial proceedings.

You have been a huge support through a divorce process that was long and emotionally very trying. From our first meeting where we thought things were going to be relatively straight forward turning into a complex case caused by a difficult ex-husband but you put in the extra effort to ensure I was kept up to date with everything and the advice I received was very sensible, even if at times frustrating having to follow some of the legal processes that just didn’t feel fair, you kept me grounded and reassured throughout the process. I can’t thank you enough for the support, through the ups, downs, tears and laughter (yes at times there was laughter), I couldn’t have done it without you.

My case consisted of a divorce challenged by my ex-husband and contested financial proceedings arising from our assets. The proceedings were challenged all the way up to the Final hearing by my ex-husband. Mrs Sharma gave me realistic advice at the outset and explained there was likely to be an equal division of the combined assets (the assets pot was £120,000.00). She was entirely correct.

Very early on in the proceedings my ex-husband refused to accept Mrs Sharma’s proposal for an equal split of the assets and instead sought all of the assets. As reassured by Mrs Sharma the Judge hearing my case confirmed my proposal was entirely reasonable thus leaving my ex-husband to have to back down at the Final Hearing and accept what I had offered all along. He was even ordered to pay a large proportion of my legal costs.

I had no choice but to fight for a fair settlement which is what Mrs Sharma helped me do.”

Divorce ClientA Huge Support

“Dear Jenny,

I cannot thank you enough for the advice, guidance and support you provided during my separation. You provided that personal touch that was required to a sensitive matter that involved children. You were friendly, approachable and available to assist whenever I required in helping to address issues.

As a father, I was apprehensive about my rights. Working with you, I was able to secure an outcome that was best for my children in terms of a child residence case, which meant they spend more time living with me.

Thank you so much for everything”

Child Custody ClientCannot Thank You Enough

“I was in a difficult situation. I was in the UK from America on a spousal visa. My marriage had broken down which was traumatic and difficult. My right to live in the UK was based upon my marriage and therefore I was in trouble. I needed advice on family law and immigration. I was recommended by a friend to Mrs Jenny Sharma. She helped me begin the difficult task of sorting out child arrangements through the court for my child, my spouse was being difficult at the time. Her colleague Miss Rukeya Begum was then able to advise me on my immigration case.

The firm were able to deal with both my family case and immigration case in one building which made the whole process so much less stressful. Also, they were able to discuss my case together and advise me the best way forward.

Miss Begum helped me through a very trying time with professionalism and understanding. She was always impeccable in the delivery of information and advised me clearly which was so important during a period of such high emotions. She went over and beyond in helping me with matters sometimes not connected to the case.

Mrs Sharma was firm and solid in her advice which was exactly what I needed during such an emotional time. She was kind and generous with her time and took care to explain all the steps and possible or likely outcomes. She helped me work towards a positive, peaceful outcome in the end which was the best for all involved.

I not only obtained an order regarding my child in the family courts, but I was able to secure my right to remain in the UK under the 5-year route as a parent. I would recommend J M Wilson Solicitors to anyone seeking Immigration or Family Law advice.”
