I would like to sincerely thank you for your support and advice over the past few years and for your help in tackling challenges that at times seemed to be unsurmountable.

She makes clients feel completely comfortable and has a disarming manner about her. ...Rayma has a steely determination with impeccable judgement. ...Rayma was sensitive but, most importantly, sensible while being responsive and efficient.

Chambers UK 2023 - Rayma Collins

Can I also say thank you to Furley Page for helping me resolve this matter, which helped keep it amicable. Could you please pass my personal thanks to Laura Sinclair for her help throughout.

Client of Laura Sinclair - Mr L of Canterbury

You have both been incredibly efficient, friendly and helpful over the last few years, and it is just a pity that Mrs D’s solicitor couldn't have been as organized or scrupulous as the two of you have been. At least I am at the end of the process now and I think everyone, including the children, is in a better place now than we were in 2014 when I first made an appointment to see Laura. Thank you so much for everything.

Client of Laura Sinclair and Rayma Collins – Mr D of Canterbury

Thank you for everything you have done for my family, we are obviously so happy and relieved with the outcome.

Client of Megan Bennie - Ms M

In addition to her extensive knowledge of family law, Laura Sinclair went to great lengths to understand my specific situation and help to guide me on the position I wished to take on various matters. I believe that I have received very sound advice throughout my case. Laura is extremely well-organised and managed my case very efficiently.

The Legal 500 2023 - Laura Sinclair

I just wanted to send you a final email to say thank you for all your help and support during my long and tedious divorce and settlement…...You were instrumental in me moving my life forward after many false starts to finally finding peace and happiness in my life.

Client of Rayma Collins - Mrs W

Your guidance and advice has made the process far less painful than expected.

Client of Megan Bennie - Ms W, Kent

I just wanted to thank you for all your assistance with this matter. This has been a very difficult time and you have helped my family through this professionally and compassionately, giving excellent advice.

Client of Megan Bennie - Mr H of Kent

With little experience of the legal profession and an understanding of the process of a divorce I was greatly helped by Rosie Eastwood with her patience, kindness and understanding. Rosie was always clear in her advice, guidance and explanations which contributed to relieving the stress of trying to come to terms with both the situation, the future and my daily workload.

Client of Rosie Eastwood - Mr A

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your support and assistance for the divorce. I feel without your help I wouldn’t be in the position I am in. Will recommend your services to anyone needing them. Thank you again.

Client of Rosie Eastwood - Mr B

Amazing service from Rosie and Catherine [supporting Legal Assistant], who were both extremely patient and understanding. Communication and advice was always clear and easy to understand. Both Rosie and Catherine made me feel extremely comfortable and they were very calming in difficult situations.

Client of Rosie Eastwood, supported by Catherine Peckham - Ms P

I cannot recommend Megan Bennie highly enough. Although my divorce in theory should have been relatively straight forward, the reality was very different. Megan was there for me throughout the entire process, with nothing ever being too much trouble. Every query was answered swifty and any concern dealt with understanding. Megan worked hard on my case, and was so thoroughly prepared when my case went to an FDA hearing, that the hearing could be utilised as an FDR hearing instead. Through prompt negotiations, my case was settled after the FDR hearing within hours, with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I cannot thank Megan and her assistant Josie enough.

Client of Megan Bennie - Louise

Thank you for your efforts; your work was 10 out of 10 again.

Client of Megan Bennie - Mr B, Canterbury

Thank you for all your hard work and support in making this final.

Client of Megan Bennie - Ms C, Kent

I just want to say a big thank you for all your hard work and support during this process.

Client of Megan Bennie - Ms D, Kent

She is very pragmatic and hands-on. Rayma Collins does not shy away from complex matters.
