Sousa Law Reviews 60

great and detailed explanation on the process tailored to my needs.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for all the support and guidance you’ve given me over the past year (Esther, Cathy and team). Navigating a divorce is never easy, especially when children are involved, and your steady professionalism, patience, and kindness have made an enormous difference throughout the process.

You’ve been an invaluable part of helping my children and I move forward, and I’m truly grateful. I would happily recommend you to anyone in need of a family solicitor. And while I’m deeply appreciative of everything you’ve done, I hope—very sincerely—that I won’t need your services again in the future.

I cannot thank Sousa Law enough for the way they supported me through my divorce. Sousa Law were sensitive, kind, and communicated everything clearly during the process. I felt safe and well looked after, making a very difficult time so much easier to cope with. I would highly recommend their services.

I can't recommend Emma Sanders enough. She is understanding of the whole process and puts you at ease. She really understands what is going on and the heartache that can be felt whilst dealing with divorce.

She is transparent and explains everything in a way that can be understood. 100% am happy she is my solicitor and I am exceptionally happy to instruct her to proceed for me in this matter.

Emma and Tiaarna were both so wonderful to work with and were extremely responsive and supportive during a difficult time. Emma's knowledge, approach and ability to explain to me the range of options I had and possible outcomes gave clarity, reassurance and ultimately a positive outcome for my case. My only wish is I had found her sooner!

I spoke with Emma in regards to my NCDR options. I had problems with zoom and Emma very kindly called me instead and put me immediatly at ease. It was a very informative, supportive and helpful phonecall. Thank you.

Emma Saunders and the team at Sousa Law have been amazing. I'm eternally grateful for all the support they have all given me during a very tough time. To all those going through it, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I can't think of anyone more dedicated and friendly to help you see it

Emma was amazing and very helpful with all my options regarding my divorce. Thank you Emma

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Emma sanders for her dedication and support throughout my family court matter. Emma’s professionalism, guidance, and clear communication made a difficult time much more manageable, and I truly appreciate the care and attention Emma gave to my case.

Emma’s expertise and reassurance helped me feel confident and informed every step of the way. We managed to what we wanted.

Thank you once again for your excellent service.

Amazing support from Esther Darmanin my solicitor, after being failed badly by a very poor solicitor at another firm. She was professional and organised and had incredible legal knowledge with a calm and supportive manner. I would highly recommend her and the firm!!!

I met with Cathy via Zoom for a meeting to discuss NCDR options. Cathy made the experience a relaxed one and put me at ease. She was extremely knowledgeable about the law surrounding family matters and understanding in her approach. It is clear that she is highly experienced and I feel confident to move onto the next stage with her as my mediator.

When I read about Cathy online, I knew I had to meet her. She is a member of HFLS and I consider her a pioneer in collaborative divorce proceedings which centre children. From the get go, I wanted as minimal damage on my children so Cathy was a no-brainer . Upon meeting her, she allowed me as much time as I needed to talk things through and then she suggested we seek mediation first. I felt skeptical and wondered if it was a waste of time - it was not. The mediation played a key role in assisting us to prioritise our children and move forward. We are now separate with a great agreement for how we centre our children. I am 100% certain a big part of how we got here, is through Cathy's advice and how she handled my case.

I contacted Sousa law as I had a child contact issue that I needed some legal assistance with. From the start I was a bit sceptical with the pricing and nervous as this was all new to me but i went ahead and contacted them. They advised me the best solicitor for my case would be a solicitor called Emma. From the start I was greeted very well and Emma was very polite, particular to details and helped with evidence that would be important in my case. All pricing was discusses upfront and realistic forecasts of a timescale and cost were communicated with me well. Emma was extremely knowledgeable on what had to be done and how to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. There was no delay in sorting everything out for me and I found the experiance less stressful than I thought it would be. Everything was taken care pf by them and explained very well. Emma was always on the phone or email updating me and making sure I knew what was going on. You really get what you pay for here and I can't put a price on the level of professionalism and knowledge from Emma and the team till the very end. I'd highly recommend Sousa law if you are reading this and do need a family solicitor.

Cathy at Sousa Law was recommended to me to handle my affairs: I am blessed that I received this well deserved recommendation.
I whole heartedly pass on my recommendation for Cathy and the team at Sousa Law. (Tiaarna, thank you too🙏)

Cathy is concurrently strong, professional, patient, direct, informative, supportive, compassionate and wholly trustworthy.
From the moment I met and worked with Cathy, I knew I was in safe hands. She has given me the courage and understanding to face the difficulty circumstances.
At a time when trust had left me, Cathy reinstated my ability to trust. I trust Cathy implicitly because of her exceptional qualities. She has worked with me, guided me, supported me and imparted her phenomenal knowledge.
It is invaluable to feel listened to and to feel that you are partnered through a situation you would never have willingly chosen.
Thanking Cathy seems insufficient but I do so with the knowledge she will understand the depth of my gratitude🙏

My conveyancer recommended Sousa Law. From the first contact with reception, the team were friendly and helpful. Tiaarna explained the onboarding process which she made incredibly easy. I then spoke to Cathy who put my mind at rest and explained my options with absolutely no pressure. Her knowledge and manner reassured me and I felt listened to. Esther supported Cathy and I was so impressed with her skill and dedication. I would have no hesitation to refer friends and family to Sousa law. Thank you all for your help at this difficult time.

Struggling with a previous solicitor regarding divorce, I was recommended Catherine Sousa. She was a breath of fresh air. I went through everything in detail; she is approachable and understanding. I feel that I now have the right person to get the results I need for my divorce and I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine.

I first contacted Sousa Law in 2022 thinking about getting a divorce. Two years later, after a bunch of failed attempts to save the marriage I am finally ready to get the ball rolling and I feel confident with the support of Catherine and the whole team of Sousa Law.

Divorcing a non-engaging partner.
I was advised on the importance of using a mediator prior to filing. Although I walked in fed-up and hoping for an immediate file of divorce (which I knew was impossible anyway), MsSousa was very patient with me and gave me the best advice on the basis of her experience. I walked out lifted and trusting that my best interests were being served ultimately and this was my best option. Ms Sousa is very thoughtful and in touch with the importance of approaching things from an amicable place and establishing. harmonious process for children. I am not done, but with Ms Sousa, I trust we will get there!

I had a short encounter with the firm, however it left a good impression.
The administrative side of organisation is excelllent as I had timely reminders for MS Team meetings prior to my apointments.
The advice given by Catherine Sousa was finely tailored to my circumstances.
Should I need a family lawer in the future I will be using the services of Sousa Law.

Having, for a variety of reasons, failed to obtain a divorce in France, it was with some trepidation that I approached Sousalaw. I need not have worried as from the first contact with them, Kelvin Mugariri, I was placed in capable and sympathetic hands.

My divorce is now finalised, any delay having been the result of outside agencies and not Sousalaw itself. Throughout the, inevitably, difficult situation everyone with whom I dealt was professional and quick to respond to my questions. Most of my dealings were with Cathy Sousa who, throughout, was both knowledgeable, patient and understanding. I was also contacted by Kerry Sohal, Alice, Palermo, Claire Hill, Madison, Kennedy, and Esther Darmarin. It was a nice, if unplanned, touch that my first and last dealings with the firm were with Kelvin.
I cannot recommend Sousalaw highly enough.
