Hi Alison,

Thank you so much for all the help and support you and your great team have provided.
I can’t begin to tell you the relief I feel, now that it is all over.

Alison Green – Thank you very much for steering me through this stressful and at times painful experience.  You’ve acted with professionalism, care and compassion every step of the way.  I never once felt alone, even when I couldn’t see the answers, you’ve had my back all the way.  Having a strong, clever and experienced woman in my corner has been fantastic – and at times a little humbling. So thank you very, very much.

61 – Alison

Alison Green – I want to say a big thank you for standing by me through the whole separation process from my husband. I was recommended by a friend to contact Alison, I was told she had been very helpful in my friend’s divorce. I was given Alison’s phone number and phoned there and then. I could not believe that I was put through to Alison straight away, she was available and able to answer my questions on the spot. That was so important to me, I felt supported. Throughout the whole process that availability, has been the most valuable aspect of my dealings with her. Even if Alison herself has not been there, one of her team has always come back to me the same day with relevant information. I would recommend Mackrell Solicitors to give professional information with a human touch. Although a city solicitor with London charges, they gave me value for money. Thank you!

It has been a long journey, but I have very much appreciated the advice and support both you and Alison have given me over the years. Thank you.
