In today's society, people who are experiencing matrimonial problems do not necessarily think about contacting a Divorce Solicitor straightaway for legal advice. Many do not want to finalise the end of the marriage by racing down the route of divorce and there are other options. The rules reform the existing procedures for Family Law.
Involvement with Social Services can be a very worrying time and you might have been told that you do not need a solicitor. It is very important that you do seek independent legal advice before agreeing to a working agreement or placement. We offer free no obligation initial appointments to everyone and during that appointment we will assess you for legal aid.

A huge thank you to Malanie for all she has done for us. Out of all the solicitors we contacted Melanie was the only one up front with the fee structure. Some solicitors were wanting us to pay for a initial consultation just to find out what the fees are. Melanie was professional and showed empathy through the whole process. She has a vast knowledge and understanding of family law. We highly recommend Melanie and Paul J Watson solicitors. Thank you John & Debbie

Ellie from Paul J Watson Solitor's shared great advice & reassurance when called upon in relation to a false allegation made against me. It can be a particularly stressful experience when responding to allegations (especially when unfamiliar with police process'). Highly recommend Ellie to anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate circumstance :)

Melanie is always works to a full professional level goes above and beyond. Melanie is always there to listen and advice, Melanie works to the best of her ability, they are fast on response to any e, mail or phone calls. i could not thank Melanie enough for all she has done to support me, i would recommend them to anyone.

I've recieved such informative, compassionate and sensitive all around care from solicitors at this firm namely Melanie Black who also liased with Ross to ensure that all my needs were covered. Nothing has been too much for Melanie, she has been a shoulder to cry on and a great sound support (with excellent application of the law). She has relentlessly advocated on my behalf making sure to challenge any issues identified.
I've unfortunately for her contacted her several times outside her working hours but she always returns messages promptly. I have felt her compassion and empathy, this has enabled her to advocate on my behalf (using her expert legal knowledge) with the care, drive and sensitivity she would use if this were a personal matter. I would not wish needing her services on anyone, but I would recommend her to those who find themselves in need.

The service I received from Paul J Watson Solicitor's was absolutely excellent. The legal process is complex but thankfully we were assigned a young dynamic, intelligent and knowledgeable Solicitor called Ellie, who I would highly recommend. She constantly kept us updated and advised on the case and we are especially thankful to her for recommending a very experienced and impressive barrister that didn't cost the earth. The outcome was far better than we could ever have dreamt of and we are truly grateful to this firm and it amazing staff. Would highly recommend.

Emma William's was a brilliant solicitor she was really professional but friendly and understanding at the same time. She made sure everything was clear to understand and that I felt at ease and comfortable throughout the family court situation which can be really stressful and upsetting. She was always happy to help with any questions or worries I had and would get back to me straight away. I would highly recommend her!

Represented by Paul Watson whom was very attentive, caring, professional and educated in his profession. He made me feel like I wasn't just a number in the system and appeared to really care about my case and gave me great first hand advice. Fortunately, I only needed representation for a police interview however without a doubt if I needed further assistance I would not have hesitated to have Paul by my side during the process. Thank you very much Paul and best wishes to you and your team in the future.

I worked with Damion when visiting here – I couldn’t of asked for a better Solicitor! He went above and beyond to make sure I was ok and everything was organised! He even checked in with me after it was all over to make sure I was ok! I would highly recommend Paul J Watson – especially Damion to anyone who needs representing!

I used Paul Watson Solicitors in Middlesbrough for my accident. They were very understanding and explained the process from start to finished. It was a difficult time for both parties, but they handled it quickly and effectively. I'm currently looking for a new home and will used their services again when I'm ready to buy my new home. Thanks Paul and co

Paul J Watson solicitor's did my house sale and purchase when I moved home in Middlesbrough. They were everything I expected from a solicitor, fast, reliable and the communication was great. They have a text alert service so when they up dated my file I got notification. I would definitely recommend them to any one in Middlesbrough and would use them again if I had any other legal matters

We needed a good criminal lawyer for a family member. The initial firm we were with had done nothing for us so I called Paul Watson solicitors. From that first call onwards we felt like the team cared. Everyone that we spoke to was professional, honest with us and responsive. We were informed on every stage. Even when there was no update we were contacted at least once a week so we never felt forgotten.
From our family member’s side, instead of being treated like a criminal, he felt he was treated with respect and listened to. Paul Watson was a credit to the case and I honestly think it is because of himself and his team that we received the best outcome possible. I cannot do enough to thank them all and would highly recommend Paul Watson Solicitors to anyone looking for a solicitor.
