Support when I needed it most
Review Solicitors (January 2026)I cannot thank Jackie Colbert and Cartwright King enough for the support I received during what was one of the most difficult periods of my life. From the very beginning, Jackie was professional, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring. She always took the time to explain things clearly, responded promptly to my concerns, and made me feel listened to and supported throughout the process. At times when I felt overwhelmed and anxious, her calm and understanding approach made a huge difference. The barrister instructed on my behalf was also outstanding. I felt completely represented and confident that my case was being handled with care, professionalism, and a clear focus on my child’s welfare. The outcome achieved brought a great sense of relief and protection for my child, and I truly believe this was down to the dedication, preparation, and professionalism of the team. I would highly recommend Jackie Colbert and Cartwright King to anyone needing legal support in family matters. I am extremely grateful for everything they have done for me and my family.MaddisonGreat

Review Solicitors (February 2025)I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Jackie Colbert and the entire team at Cartwright Solicitors for their outstanding service throughout my custody case. Over the past 7 years, they have been an unwavering support in helping me gain custody of my three children, and I could not be more thankful for their dedication, professionalism, and expertise. The journey was far from easy, as we faced numerous challenges, particularly with the children’s mother not complying with court orders. Throughout this lengthy and difficult process, Jackie and her team provided constant guidance, strategic advice, and tireless efforts. They were always proactive in addressing issues as they arose, ensuring that my children’s best interests were always the top priority. The fact that this case spanned such a long period of time is a testament to the complexities and obstacles we encountered, but I never once felt unsupported or uncertain about the path we were on, thanks to Jackie’s relentless commitment to the cause. In the end, with their expertise, the outcome was in my favor, and I am now able to give my children the stable and loving environment they deserve. I wholeheartedly recommend Cartwright Solicitors to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their professionalism and dedication to their clients are second to none. I wish them all the best as they continue to assist new clients, and I’m confident that anyone who chooses their services will be in excellent hands. Thank you again to Jackie Colbert and the entire team. You have made a significant difference in my life and my children’s future.KudzanaiExcellent Support and Representation
Review Solicitors (July 2024)On learning I was being taken to court after my daughters father had cancelled mediation because he wasn't getting the outcome he wanted made me feel anxious, stressed and very upset. I met with Jackie who put it all into perspective and helped me understand that I hadn't done anything wrong and the situation was difficult. I explained that the request of additional time wasn't something my daughter wanted and that I was there for her. My daughters father moved the goal posts multiple time during the hearing and was very difficult to deal with. Having Jackie and a barrister's support during the whole process helped me cope with the situation and how they represented my daughter and me was second to none. They were straight to the point and kind and always acted in our best interest, which provided the best outcome for my daughter. I don't believe I would have got through it without them and I am forever grateful. Jackie and Tom thank you.NinaFamily solicitor
