What Our Clients Are Saying

“Get Frank and James from Paradigm Family Law before your spouse does. They are miles ahead of the competition.”

Maarten, USA

“I am very grateful to have had you in my corner James, you don’t know how much of a comfort you have been to me thru this very stressful time in my life not only with your professionalism and knowledge of the Divorce procedure but the caring and patience you gave when you explained it to me each step of the way. I wish you continued success in your profession.”

Carol, Bradford

“James Thornton has been fantastic throughout the process and I could not fault him at all. I have already been through this process before with a different solicitor and I did not get the in depth advice or support that I got from James. I wish that I had used James the first time but would recommend him to anyone . His clear concise advice made the process much easier.”

Andreas, Tokyo

“Paradigm Family Law in general but Evelyn Peacock in particular were impeccable in their service. Having never having need of a solicitor before I was unsure what to expect but from the very first meeting to the end of the case Evelyn was honest, fair and always more than helpful, always willing to answer my questions no matter how obtuse, always on my side whilst honestly telling me what to expect though out the case which really helped. I cannot recommend Paradigm Family Law and Evelyn Peacock highly enough and would without a moment’s thought use them again.”

Mr. B, York

“I am very grateful to have had you in my corner James, you don’t know how much of a comfort you have been to me through this very stressful time in my life not only with your professionalism and knowledge of the Divorce procedure but the caring and patience you gave when you explained it to me each step of the way. I wish you continued success in your profession.”

Carol, Bradford

“James has been fantastic throughout the process and I could not fault him at all. I have already been through this process before with a different solicitor and I did not get the in depth advice or support that I got from James. I wish that I had used James the first time but would recommend him to anyone . His clear, concise advice made the process much easier.”

Nicola, York

“From the onset until the finished conclusion, throughout many long months, James was none other than extremely professional and honest. No stone was left unturned, every possible query was raised with the other party, every angle was looked at, he never overlooked a single detail….James has a network of highly respected, experienced people with the right expertise who all formed part of my legal journey. James kept me informed of what was happening every step of the way. He has a very calm and collected manner and at the same time is also easy to communicate with. I cannot recommend James highly enough if I am honest and so relieved that I found Paradigm.”

Claire

“I’m slightly overcome with feelings of relief and happiness. Thank you for everything, your advice, experience, support and especially your powerful emails to the other side.”

Amy L, York

“The service you provide has been superb and I would highly recommend you. The advice, regular communication and set fee has been fantastic.”

Anita M, York

“Thank you so much for everything, your calmness and dry sense of humour has made everything so much easier.”

Sarah F, Leeds

“Thank you so much for your time on the telephone this morning. I initially contacted you because of your recent blog article on Child Maintenance and Schedule 1. It made a refreshing change to be able to speak directly to you when making the initial call. In just one brief telephone call, you grasped and understood the financial and litigation issues and gave me clear advice as to the next steps to take in relation to my ex husband’s application to vary a Maintenance Order.”

Claire M, Leeds

“Dear James, THANK YOU for all your patience and good humour during the tribulations of the divorce! My life is now much more peaceful & content.”

Sharon M, London

“It is has been my pleasure to work with James throughout the years. Most recently we worked together on a complicated family trusts case in the Court of Appeal; the work which James did can only be described as outstanding. He is extremely conscientious and completely wedded to the progress of his client’s cause. He wants the very best for his clients and is discriminating enough to know that this is as often achieved through a skilful negotiation as a contested fight. But either way he has a grasp of legal principles which means that his clients can feel assured that they have in him, a first class practitioner. Tactically adept and armed with a knowledge which is top rate, he is an excellent choice as a representative.”
