James Belderbos represented me through a divorce. He was easy to talk to and explained anything I didn’t understand in simple terms. [newlinex2]Divorces can be very stressful and personal, but I always felt comfortable talking to James. I highly recommend him because without his knowledge I wouldn’t be where I am today.

What’s Included
The consultation will last up to one hour.
By the end of the hour we aim to have advised you on
- The information available for the main issues
- Whether we can assist you
- Whether we need more information to advise you properly and outline what that information is and
- Give you as clear a picture as we can as the likely costs involved.
Sometimes and depending upon the enquiry we can offer clear and definitive advice. However that is not always the case and the situation may be more complex. We can rarely offer detailed advice on the financial aspects of divorce at an initial interview but we can explain the procedures that will have to be followed to reach a conclusion.
I approached James regarding my separation and getting my name removed from the deeds of the property I had shared with my ex-partner and where my 10 year old daughter was living.[newlinex2]It was never my intention to deal with this matter through the courts but if I was forced to I would have had done so. With James’s support and advice, we have managed to resolve the matter amicably with a very satisfactory outcome and without the courts. This has been less stressful. It took some time to reach this resolution but the delay was not from our side. We faced challenges including lack of communication and my ex-partner denying my claim until my daughter reached 18 years of age. Despite these difficult situations and with James’s gentle yet firm approach, we managed to overcome them and achieve the outcome I desired with my daughter remaining in the family home.[newlinex2]I would have no hesitation in recommending James, his style and approach which certainly worked for me. Thank you James.
