Family

I was a client of the Tenterden branch of Whitehead Monckton. Daniel Bennett was my solicitor, he was absolutely outstanding. He was very kind and supportive to me, yet a strong, decisive and assertive advocate. His knowledge of the law and legal proceedings was invaluable. Without him I would have ...

I cannot fault anything done by Whitehead Monckton in my case and have nothing but praise for Daniel who is, in my opinion, an outstanding solicitor, an intelligent, conscientious, hardworking, caring employee and a man of great integrity. I cannot praise him highly enough and would recommend him to...

“There’s no getting away from the fact that going through a divorce is tough. Emma at Whitehead Monckton immediately put my mind at rest about the process and was very clear on what I needed to do and how she would work on my behalf to keep everything moving forward. She took time to understand my p...

“When looking for a solicitor, I recalled a friend being happy with Whitehead Monckton. I could not have wished for a better service. Not only did my solicitor guide me through the legalities of divorce, but also provided help and guidance through what became an emotional rollercoaster. All staff we...

'When we had our meeting, I knew that we had two strong, extremely capable and totally dedicated personalities doing their utmost to get a satisfactory conclusion to our situation.   I can assure you Daniel that, with  your continual positive and helpful approach to all matters, this has kept us upb...

'I just wanted you to know how very lucky I feel to have had you represent me over these months.

"I instructed Ruth in a complex custody/residency matter following my partner leaving the family home and taking our baby daughter who was at the time less than a year old.  Ruth approached this matter in a highly professional yet very caring manner. She guided me through the process and supported m...

I wish to thank you all for everything you have done and for going above and beyond the call of duty. Little things, such as a reassuring word or a quick phone call preempting written correspondence, made a real difference in stressful situations that I never thought that I would be in.

I called most other law firms in the East Kent area to scope out an appointment. I booked yourselves despite living on the borders of Margate because you sounded ‘friendly, approachable and together’ and I got much less from everywhere else.  

I would just like to say a big thank you for all your hard work (second time around) and for getting me the little extra.  As usual you stayed calm and got it sorted.  I am sure this will be an end to the matter and thank you once again.  My warmest regards to your family and to the other members of...

I would like to put on record my sincerest thanks for all your assistance over the past 2 years.  Your professionalism and attention to detail have been outstanding and I wish you all the best in your future career.  Philip.  

I thank you for your care, compassion and understanding during what has been a form and emotion filled roller coaster. You have made the process bearable, simple and I have felt held every step of the way. I’m so glad I chose you to help me.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for providing a top quality service for both Anne and I, showing care on what can be a difficult matter, combined with the utmost efficiency.

You have been exceptional in all the help and advice you have provided. 

You set out my choices regarding the different ways of coming to an agreement clearly and in a language that was easy to understand, and were clear as to the potential costs involved. You took time to understand my wishes and it was clear that you took those into account when giving your advice, and...

When a potential problem arose I felt able to ring you, and you helped enormously in sorting it out quickly. I knew I could trust you to keep my best interests at the heart of all that you did. 

Thank you for all your help in enabling me to negotiate my separation successfully and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

Dawn has a down to earth and friendly style that works for me. She responds and acts promptly to fit in with my busy work schedule. Her attention to detail and quality of advice means I have no hesitation in recommending her service. 

I just wanted to say thank you again for all your help and support in resolving my matrimonial affairs. You provided a professional service and were approachable throughout. You kept me well informed and gave clear and helpful advice making a difficult situation much easier to deal with. I would not...

Many thanks for all your help, I very much appreciated your support through a difficult time. Your particular approach and humour were very reassuring and grounding at all times. I'm also very glad for your advice to use the collaborative approach as I feel that has been instrumental in the good rel...

I want to thank you for all the help you have given me over the years. It was a great comfort to me knowing that I could always rely on you. It meant such a lot. 

I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me. I was in a very dark place when I came to see you but you helped me so much for that I am truly grateful. I hope I will never need you again but if I do, I will make a point of coming to you and I will of course recommend you to my friends.

It has been a very difficult time and I would just like to say a very big thank you for all your assistance and advice. Your cooperative and objective approach to matters, availability and flexibility have, in no short measure, made what has been achieved possible. Thankfully, you were the ever pres...

I would like to thank you for handling my divorce with speed and professional honesty and for being frank with me, which was needed to ensure a correct mind set and settlement.

Thank you so much to you for all of your help and brilliant assistance. 

I want to thank you for all of your advice, and particularly the sensitivity which you brought to the process. I think you could see from the outset that both (my wife) and I were coming at this from a constructive angle and that we didn't need anything other than coaching, guidance and your profess...
