What our clients and the legal directories say about us
I would like to thank Caroline, Lindsay and all of the team at Watson Morris for the professional way they have acted on my behalf for getting me over the finish line. Caroline is highly responsive, a firm hand and pragmatic in her advice guiding me through all the emotions and frustrations experienced and achieving the best result possible for me. She understood the whole process completely and knew her way through all the issues that arose, guiding the case to a highly successful private FDR.

Overall I thought the experience was very supportive with thoughtful, pragmatic and commercial advice offered throughout each stage of the process. I particularly appreciated the speed of turning around documents quickly when it mattered most. It was lovely to feel that I had someone who I could ask questions of at any time who gave me an empathetic, human response. I would not hesitate to recommend Caroline to anyone else requiring support through a divorce. First class service. Thank you.

I cannot thank Watson Morris enough for their professional help, advice and support during the most difficult phase of my life. No matter when I needed to make a call, even in the most urgent of times, an adviser would always be on hand to guide me. Caroline is the most professional individual in the way she addresses every situation presented, however also has a personal, empathetic touch when managing emotions. I was an individual who knew nothing about the divorce process and I felt all the advice I received was easy to understand. Thank you to the team at Watson Morris for getting me to the end! I would highly recommend Watson Morris for all aspects of family law.

Caroline and Peter are consummate professionals who provide high quality advice with clarity and care to their clients, who by the very nature of the work, often find themselves in a highly stressful position. The feedback from their previous work has always focused on the empathy and understanding that they both exude in their support for their clients.

Caroline is extremely thorough and found cases that were similar to mine to set a precedence for the hearing. Whilst one would expect any lawyer to do this, that doesn’t equal that it would happen. Caroline ensured I was completely prepared for the hearing covering every angle that might have been thrown at me.

Peter Morris has impressed me as a meticulous and thorough practitioner who adopts a methodical approach to his cases. He is very good with handling client expectations, whilst always making them feel totally supported during one of the most stressful periods of their lives. He is sensible and always prepared to reach a fair out-of-court settlement when possible. If not, then he is more than capable of representing a client’s interests robustly in court.

Caroline was a pillar of support sorting out facts from emotions which I really needed at the time.

Peter Morris was my lawyer involved in a international law divorce between the United Kingdom and the United States. His performance and final resolution of the divorce was professional, negotiated and resolved at the highest level. It was handled in an expedient manner and I was well advised and guided through the legal process. I could not have had a better solicitor/attorney then Peter Morris.

Going through a divorce is a very emotional experience and a time when I just wanted to walk away as quickly as I could even if it meant taking a lot less than I was entitled to. Caroline remained very focused on the practical and legal elements ensuring that we remained focused on moving things forward and explained the broader implications of some decisions for my and my family’s future.

We always felt that a pre-nuptial agreement was a sensible option and felt that going through complete financial disclosure with each other and agreeing on what we did and didn’t want out of the agreement put us in good stead for our marriage moving forward. Caroline was a safe pair of hands in drafting the agreement for us, and she was more than happy to answer the many questions I had and provide clear and timely advice on many different aspects of the agreement. I would recommend this service.
