Report
Simon Lim handled the prenup with care and attention, and was very approachable and responsive. His fees weren't excessive (unlike the other side's) and he guided me through the process thoughtfully and offered solutions. He has negotiated many prenups and I would recommend him.

Report
Bross Bennett LLP were caring, professional and patient as they helped me navigate a tricky and very unusual divorce matter. Simon, my solicitor, was accessible, responsive and very supportive. The advice and guidance I received was clear and, most importantly, communicated in plain english, not legal ease, so I always understood my choices and the inherent consequences. I strongly recomnend both Simon and the firm.

I was recommended to see Simon by a QC friend of mine and found him to be very reliable, capable and helpful throughout what was a difficult experience. He was an excellent advocate and diligent in keeping costs down. A fantastic service, with a personal touch at great value. Would highly recommend.

Critical: Professionalism Profiteering, combative and inept. I fully recommend you use their services if you would like a protracted and extremely costly divorce.

I was extremely lucky that Bross Bennett acted for me over my very painful divorce. I never failed to recieve kindness, patience and skill. They did a lot to ease the pain of the hardest and most difficult period of my long life and they achieved a good and fair result for me in court.
