Austin Kemp | "Best Rated" Divorce Firm Reviews 

Had an hour Consultation and by the end of it, I had answers to all my questions. Additional support was offered if required!

Only had a 1 hour consultation so far and learned a lot in that hour. I was put on the right path for what I needed to do next and advised about options which would cost me less. Other solicitors I spoke to had no compassion, so this really helped. Many thanks

My Austin Kemp Family Law solicitor had many years of experience and was broadly helpful through the process but her experience was outdated and she made some very costly errors including errors in forms submitted which ended up extending the process and costing a LOT more in time, stress and cost. SA did not advise me well of all the latest processes for digital communication with the courts which I believe also extended the process and increased cost. I DO NOT recommend SA or Austin Kemp - total cost result was 2-3 times national average. Recommend to seek a more modern solution such as Amicable, Divorce Surgery or consider the forthcoming separatespace once live

I used Austin Kemp Divorce Solicitors to handle my divorce, which was handled by Keith Wivell. And thinking back sometimes it looked endless, as if it was never going to be completed, but that was not Keith‘s fault. The fault lies with my ex-wife. She made it very hard for things to be sorted out. She fought me every step of the way through from retrieving personal items, selling the house to sorting out my Private Pension, but I finally got things sorted. And that was solely down to Keith, I would recommend Austin Kemp Divorce Solicitors to act for anyone, especially Keith Wivell he has done an excellent job. Now I am looking forward to a new life. The old life has gone now. Thank you again for everything.

i used Austin Kemp for my Divorce , my case was handled by Keith Wivell. Unfortunately i began divorce proceedings during Covid which meant it was longer and felt more complicated . My ex Husband did make things quite difficult too. But Keith was professional at all times and most importantly i felt he was sensitive to my situation . I communicated via email in the main but when things were more complicated i scheduled in a teams call usually taking approx 15- 30 mins . At every step of the journey Keith navigated me through with ease and i want to say a huge thank you to him for all that he did for me.

I had a really complicated case which took over a year to come to closure represented by: Alex Clarke - I recommend Alex Clarke as he pays attention to vital details and explains and notifies all stages of the process in court:

Case was really stressful at times - But we managed to get through it. Alex always reassured that its part of the process and we managed to get a positive outcome at the end.

Communication & Updates - 10/10
Case Management - 10/10

Recommend Austin Kemp Solicitors - Quality Service & Always Professional

Great firm great team.!!
My solicitor within this firm was Keith Wyvill.
From the first telephone call i made to him regarding my financial matters and divorce, i was straightaway at ease, and supported the communication was great and fast.
His team looked after me with matters if Keith was away from the office.
Everything during my case was explained, if i felt anxious at any point or worried my questions were answered,
Divorce is difficult for anyone and this firm helped me get where i needed to be and now i’m divorced with my financial affairs in hand.
Thankyou everyone at Austin kemp.

I engaged Juliet Walker to sort out a relationship issue. I can honestly say that she was absolutely superb and would recommend her to anyone looking for a family or matrimonial lawyer. She sorted out a very difficult situation knowledgeably and professionally.

Alex Clarke 'The Saviour' Alex has been very active in dealing with my case, he made me feel comfortable everytime we communicated and he made sure that I understood every single thing he would share with me during the process and even prior to the process, he would also respond promptly to calls and emails.

Alex did invest his time in my case prior to any type of a previous agreement, that to me has suggested the level of integrity of his persona subquenlty to that I made the decision that he would shortly be representing me in what was deemed necessary.

Alex Clarke " The Saviour " is the name you need when contacting the firm for issues related to your children.

I would like to thank Jennifer Hollyer for all the hard work, and the effort she put into my case. I was going through a difficult time emotionally and Jennifer showed compassion and empathy for my situation, most importantly she believed me.   

Jennifer would go above and beyond to ensure there was no inaccuracies in my Statements that were submitted to Court, which meant she worked on evenings / weekends to get it right. She was very thorough and transparent throughout the duration of my Court proceedings.  

Jennifer provided an excellent service, where she was easily contactable and if she wasn’t available, she responded as soon as she could. I never had to follow up or chase Jennifer, she responded promptly.   

I had the best solicitor for my Child Contact case. It’s a shame, my engagement with Jennifer wasn’t in the best scenarios for me but I was very happy with my decision of reconnecting with her again after a previous engagement I had with her at a different Law Firm.

On the back of recommendation, I enlisted the help of Bik Wong, who was incredible from start to finish.
I found her to be efficient, professional, and incredibly thorough in every aspect of my divorce.
I would highly recommend Austin Kemp.

I recently used Austin Kemp for my divorce and it was all done efficiently and in a pleasant manner. I always dealt with the same person and that made the whole process easier. It was also all done online which meant no appointments needed to be made and therefore it was all very convenient. The necessary evil of payment was done using their online payment system which was very straightforward to use.
Not planning on getting divorced again but if I did I would happily use Austin Kemp again

I used Austin Kemp having been referred to them through an online service for my divorce and having agreed a financial settlement with my ex wife. Emma at Austin Kemp was very helpful throughout and I was able to pay them for a guidance check on the consent order before submitting it. All went through the courts with no problems and I’m pleased with the end result.

There are additional fees to pay if you rwspond to emails or ask a question which the agreement does state but there were times I didn’t understand why I was charged to reply to a question I was asked but on the whole the service is very good value. My whole divorce and consent order cost just under £2,000 all in which between my ex wife and myself is a bargain.

Kieth Wivell was helpful and professional in getting me through my divorce. He always gave me updates and helpful me understand everything I needed to do. Yes £420 an hour is a lot, but having faith in someone is priceless! You get what you pay for, and he helped me to achieve a great deal.
Lorna was very helpful and lovely too, checking up on me.
Thank you again to Kieth, Lorna and Austin Kemp! Great company

Honest and trustworthy solicitors, would highly recommend!! *****

Keith wivell was great he explained everything clearly and was very efficient, he done a great job. Lorna deighton was also very helpfull also thank you all much appreciated. Would recommend these to anyone. 👍

Emma Clowes really worked hard at getting my divorce through. It was a very challenging process and Emma supported my process till the end. I do appreciate your efforts even when my frustrations were off the limit and you would still respond in a positive and supportive manner. Thank you and i hope you continue doing a great job with the rest of your training in Law.

Ms Bik Wong stood by my side on an extremely complicated case for the last 2 years. She went head to head with what felt like an army of firms by herself (very successfully brushing them off). Ms Bik went above and beyond working relentlessly to win my case. She achieved the best possible outcome for me and my family, despite what was thrown at us in the last 2 years. These cases can be extremely stressful on one - but Ms Bik approaches you with sympathetic professionalism that gives you the reassurance you need during difficult times. If you’re using Ms Bik - you’re in safe hands, If Ms Bik is working for your firm - you’re lucky, if you’re thinking of going with Ms Bik - don’t hesitate and lastly if you’re the opposition - GOOD LUCK.

I instructed Austin Kemp in 2016, we worked together until May 2022, Simon Rosenthall and team were excellent all the way through.

Used Austin Kemp to complete a Consent Order after divorce as didn’t do this during the divorce process. Case was handled by Emma Clowes who was incredibly helpful throughout, responding to my many questions and concerns. The process was quite long, however court timings played a part in that and Emma kept me up to date. The overall cost to complete the order was very competitive compared to prices I obtained from other solicitors. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
