Family department helps earn Watsons Solicitors a highly desirable status

January 8, 2024

When phrases such as “they were my rock” and “treated with respect by all” are used, it’s easy to see why the family department at Watsons Solicitors has such an enviable reputation.

The Cheshire-based firm has the largest division of its kind in Warrington with five members, including partners Catrin Parry and Danny Hudson, Gill Lacey, Lauren Soutar, and Anne Williams.

Holding Family Law and Children Panel Law Society accreditations, the team’s areas of expertise include:

  • Adoption
  • Care proceedings
  • Civil partnership disputes
  • Cohabitation and property disputes
  • Matrimonial finance
  • Domestic violence and injunctions
  • Removal from the jurisdiction

Work completed across the above has earned the team plenty of praise from satisfied clients.

A client was particularly pleased with how Danny, who has been ranked one of Warrington’s top legal providers by Three Best Rated, and paralegal Vicky Leonard dealt with their case.

They wrote: “I would like to thank Mr Hudson and Vicky; they were my rock though a very long and difficult divorce. 

“They were there every time I needed advice and were very caring and professional. Danny explained that everything would be ok, even though at the time I didn’t think it would. 

“Vicky was so easy to talk to and very kind to me when there were very difficult things to discuss, she made it very easy for me to open up. 

“If anyone is going through a divorce, I honestly recommend Danny, you really couldn’t be in better hands. 

“I live in North Wales and my friend recommended Watsons Solicitors (Danny) as he helped her so much through her divorce, so going to Warrington was worth it. 

“Danny/Vicky, thank you so much for everything. I really wouldn’t have what I have now if it wasn’t for you.”

Further positive feedback has included: “Treated with respect by all. Kind helpful staff on reception. Easy to get answers to any concerns. Very positive experience. Very efficient."

Another happy client wrote: “Professional service which treated you like you mattered to them.”

Whilst a fellow satisfied member of the public added: “Got first class service and if uncertain always put my mind at rest."

The sign of a job well done is often repeat custom, and this is highlighted by one person declaring: “Used Watsons on 4 occasions now, very satisfied with service."

Reflecting on the reviews, Danny said: “It’s wonderful that the family department has been able to help so many people who are more than happy with the work we do.

“We have an incredibly strong team, and the testimonials only reinforce that fact.”
