Emma Kendall
"Recommended"
Pearson Solicitors
Oldham
Dedicated in her approach, Emma is a family lawyer and divorce solicitor with over 16 years’ experience. She has dealt with hundreds of family cases, from divorce, dissolution of civil partnerships, and children disputes to matrimonial finances including the division of the family home, family business, pensions and other assets. Her work also involves wealth protection matters including negotiating and preparing separation agreements and cohabitation agreements together with financial consent orders. As a member of Resolution, Emma recognises the impact the breakdown of a relationship can have on parents and children and, wherever possible, will resolve cases by constructive negotiation. However, if court proceedings are necessary, she is able to conduct her own advocacy and aims to secure the best possible outcome for her clients, being aware of the emotional and financial costs of court.
I honestly am lost for words how amazing Emma Kendall and Emily were! If I could give them 10*’s I would! This is by far the best law firm in Oldham and I am so grateful that I was recommended by someone to them! Started family proceedings in November, the other party would not engage in working with us. However, Emma and Emily made sure that any obstacle that was thrown at us was dealt with quickly and efficiently! Both Emma and Emily were continuously on hand to answer emails, and calls. They most importantly provided help and advice, that was in the best interests of me and my family. I was so lost being forced into the family process, I thought everything would be against me. Their advice and help proved to be invaluable as we attended court this afternoon. Emma and Emily both managed to achieve everything that I asked for! I genuinely can not thank them both enough for their work! I would highly recommend anybody needing family law advice, to speak to the team! There results prove their worth! Absolutely amazing!
