What our clients say

Ann, I cannot thank you and your team enough, for all the help and the feeling of security you have given me over the past 11 years – knowing that my “fight” was in safe hands was a real weight off my shoulders, the worry never went away but I knew and trusted you would have an answer to anything that came up.

I had spoken to a number of family lawyers before choosing Paul Lancaster. He was the only one who understood what I hoped to achieve for my children, and he is a qualified Collaborative Lawyer, which I specifically sought, to help negotiate arrangements around childcare and finances. He is an exceptional advocate, and a very skillful negotiator, who I would happily recommend to anyone seeking a fair outcome for their family.  

Couldn't fault it, efficient at every step. Felt like it was a big enough firm to have the required 'clout' and reputation but small enough to feel like a personal service.

The usual professional service I have become accustomed to from Blacks Solicitors.

Very honest, with a personal touch showing they want to give you the best advice. They’re truthful on the reality and strength of your case, given the facts. They manage expectations well.

David Ward expertly handled a dispute I had with my employer after I had become dissatisfied with my union's handling of it. Professional and positive from the outset and throughout, David transmitted his confidence to me, and it was not misplaced. In securing an outcome I was happy with, David was as efficient as he was personable at all times, responding to emails decisively and promptly, and often out-of-hours. I would not hesitate to recommend him or, by extension, Blacks. An impressive, excellent service from beginning to end.

David Ward was extremely professional throughout but he was also very personable and took all of my concerns and individual issues on board, right from the very beginning. He worked tirelessly and was always available to help when I had any questions or when things got difficult. 
Without David I really would have been lost but with him on my side it was pretty plain sailing actually. He worked with me to document my story and the evidence I had access to, in a very clear and concise format. He ultimately helped translate my thoughts and experiences to the other party and got me the outcome I feel I deserved. I hope I never need a lawyer like David again but he would be the only person I would want, should that ever happen.

I write my review with very emotional feelings. David and his colleagues have been my rock, confidant and counsellor at some point for the past 9 months. Without their help and support I would not be where I am today… There was nothing I needed to do. They took ALL the stress and worry away from me so that I could concentrate on my recovery. I am happy to say that because of the support that I received from them, my husband has a wife back and children have their mother.

I contacted Blacks for advice with employment issues and within twenty minutes David Ward called me. I felt completely reassured after speaking to David that I would be represented by a first rate solicitor. The service David provided was highly professional and efficient. I would recommend David Ward from Blacks Solicitors to anyone facing employment related issues.

Blacks was recommended to me by three people, all of whom said you were the best! Many thanks to all the team who looked after this difficult situation for me.
