Report
After starting a divorce online with no real legal guidance through the process, I was recommended to Alun. Alun gave me expert advice and took over the handling of the situation with the utmost professionalism, including measures to help ensure I would be safe. Alun was the greatest support throughout, he was always reassuring and supportive, and through every wobble I had he showed empathy, understanding, and compassion - while also including firm pep talks that made me feel stronger, more confident and empowered in not letting myself get walked over.
I have nothing but the best things to say about my experience with Alun Jones Family Law and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alun to anyone, his guidance achieved a fairer outcome than there had been prior to his involvement, and I will always be very very grateful.

Report
Alun helped me to extricate myself from a joint mortgage after a separation which had made practical issues extremely fraught and unnecessarily complex. Alan was personable, reassuring and knowledgeable, and he guided me through the whole experience with skill and compassion. Alun managed to secure a result that was wholly satisfactory for all parties, and throughout the process I found him informative and reliable; he sought to do all the work necessary at the least possible expense to myself, whilst still making himself available whenever I needed him.
I would recommend Alun's service to anyone needing a family lawyer for whatever the issue may be. I also found him to be a genuinely nice guy on the occasions when we had a meeting. Thanks again to you Alun, and the rest of the staff there.

I was referred to this firm by a friend who had used them a few years ago. I dealt with Rhian Jones and would absolutely recommend her. She was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable and helped me achieve the outcome I was hoping for.
