Testimonials
“Ben makes a challenging role look easy. He is clearly an organised and diligent lawyer who knows his way around family law. The tricky part that Ben consistently achieves is finding a perfect balance between empathy with a client’s situation and helping the client to a resolution by firmly laying out the options. Whilst I hope not to have to work with Ben too much going forwards(fingers crossed!) I’ve already recommended Ben to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so without hesitation.”
“Ben started working on my divorce case alongside Claire but quickly became my first point of contact throughout the case. He dealt with my case in such a friendly and professional manner, he was always available for my (distressed) calls and responded promptly to my emails during a very emotional and stressful time for me. Ben showed great attention to detail and gave clear and concise advice, his communication skills knowledge of my case and the law as well as his work ethic were incredible. I really appreciate the support and expertise I received.”
“Ben Holmes was professional, knowledgeable and thorough with my case preparation. I felt that I received exceptional service at one of the hardest moments in my life. He was always compassionate yet straight talking and kept me informed and up-to-date with all parts of the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben who I feel is an asset to the team at Jones Nickolds.”
“Ben's incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, however what really sets him apart from most lawyers is his personality. He has a very calm and personable side to him which helps create that bond of trust with a client from the get go. This in my opinion is key when children are involved as emotions are running high. His calmness and strategic approach diffused a lot of heated discussions during my negotiations even though at one point we were certain we would end up in court. I would definitely recommend Ben and work with him again if ever needed.”
“Ben has an innate ability to quickly and deeply grasp the whole picture.”
