My solicitor was pretty good, she was called Emily (Bishop I think)and worked out of Brearleys solicitors first in Birstall then Cleckheaton. Not at all cheap but I was always happy with her advice.

Paul Milligan at Ford & Warren http://www.forwarn.com/

Thoroughly decent bloke and good value. You will get slightly annoyed by their switchboard system though (switchboard -> secretary -> Solicitor No direct dial!) - but Paul is about £100 less per hour than any of his contempories and is very good.

All I can say is stay well away from Jones Myers in Leeds. Stupendous office, massive fees. Fur coats and no knickers. They talk a good talk but will fail you in oh so many ways. They act like big dogs but they have no teeth! About the only communication you get is from their accounts department, asking when you'll send payment for their last invoice! Spend your money elsewhere. Marilynn Stowe is the best in the North, but I'm not sure how much she practises now (she's a bit of a "divorce lawyer to the stars"), but you may still get good advice from her husbands firm at Grahame. Stowe, Bateson. http://www.grahame-stowe-bateson.co.uk/ Good Luck!

I've got this exact situation at the moment but with the added complication of it being an international service. My man is Oliver Hall at Pearsons & Ward in Malton, 01653 692247 he has two ways around the issue and is a really good solicitor.

Try Frank at Ashton Bell in Leeds - tell him Paul Egan gave details - Frank has been my solicitor for 15 years, legal genius and not heavy on price
