What it will cost
We are happy to have an initial discussion over the phone regarding international matters free of charge. After that we will charge a consultation fee if a meeting is required. During this we will endeavour to provide a fixed price quotation for our services and clear guidance on any further costs. The consultation fee will usually be deducted from the overall legal costs.
What our clients say
“I was helped by Tharwat Alsanawi and Woodfords in my family matter. I would highly recommend their firm for the work they carried out for me. Tharwat represented me in my child arrangement abduction case which involved legal proceedings in two different countries, the UK and UAE. The whole ordeal was very stressful for myself and my child, but with their support and advice, I was able to secure a safe future for myself and my child. Thank you to Tharwat and the rest of the family law team for their support and professional advice during this stressful period of my life.”
“I would highly recommend Tharwat Alsanawi and Jeremy Lui of Woodford LLP Solicitors. They are a professional, conscientious and knowledgeable team, and have secured a successful outcome to my case. After the rejection of my first application to remain in the UK, I knew that I needed the best solicitor I could find. Tharwat Alsanawi understood the whole situation very clearly from the start and advised me on the complex issues surrounding my case. Tharwat herself worked tirelessly on this issue with her assistant Jeremy Liu, and they kept me fully briefed. Tharwat and Jeremy really care about their clients. I am extremely grateful.”
