Frances Lindsay & Co

I have had several dealings with Frances Lindsay & Co recently on both personal and business matters. Amanda, Karen, Stewart & Shirley have all been extremely helpful, thorough and efficient. We recently completed Power of Attorney for my parents where Amanda did a home visit to my parents due to my father's condition. Our experience with all of the team has been exceptional. They are very professional and take the time to explain everything in detail and are all very personable. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Frances Lindsay & Co. Thank you team for all of the assistance and support you have given to me, my family and the business.

Frances Lindsay & Co were highly recommended to me by a close friend and, when I started to consider divorce, I was extremely vulnerable and confused about what my future might be. From the first time I spoke to Manjit, she managed to give me the reassurance that I needed and continued to do so throughout the past eighteen months.At every stage of the divorce process, Manjit’s knowledge and professionalism meant I was able to trust her implicitly to achieve the best outcome for me. However, it was her encouragement, patience and understanding which gave me the self-confidence I needed to make decisions for myself. Divorcing after a marriage of more than thirty years was gruelling and complex and I am in no doubt that, without Manjit’s support, I would have been facing a very bleak future. Knowing that Manjit “had my back”, with regards to the legal aspects, enabled me to focus on processing the trauma which triggered the end of my marriage. At a time when I had totally lost confidence in my own judgement to trust or rely on anyone, Manjit instinctively and authentically gave the care, sensitivity and reliability I needed – sometimes before I knew what I needed.Although I originally approached Manjit for divorce advice she has given me so more than I imagined. As my legal advisor and representative, she has been outstanding in her knowledge of divorce, as I had expected. What I didn’t expect, however, was the friendship I feel we have developed as a result. Essentially, Manjit has been such a huge part of how I have redefined my life and this is due to her kindness, thoughtfulness, belief in me and refreshing sense of humour.

I had somewhat complicated circumstances to deal with and Frances was a steady pair of hands to assist in resolving the shambles. I didn't know which firm of solicitors to use and asked a friend who has had many dealings with local firms and he didn't have to think about who to suggest as i needed strong representation. I felt that Frances gave me the optimum solution in the end and above all i completely trusted her.

During the most challenging of times Manjit and the staff at Frances Lindsay were kind, thorough, responsible, accessible and guided me through a minefield of correspondence and legal wranglings. I would highly recommend this firm who clearly keep up to date with cultural and legal changes, understand client needs and work extremely hard to ensure the best outcomes. I will forever be indebted to you.

We recently instructed Francis Lindsay and Co to prepare virtually mirror image wills for myself and my partner. Most of the work was undertaken by Amanda Chivers via Zoom or otherwise remotely with the signing and witnessing of the wills taking place in the offices of Francis Lindsay in Maidenhead. The structure of the wills was not entirely straightforward and we were impressed by the creative and imaginative approach taken by Amanda whom we would unhesitatingly recommend.

I have nothing but good things to say about Frances Lindsay & Co, especially solicitor/partner Stewart Henderson. My circumstances have been tough and challenging but Stewart has been nothing but understanding, kind and also incredibly thorough and professional. I have been kept informed with everything, at every stage of the process and have always been treated with respect and kindness. Would highly recommend.

Used Frances Lindsay & Co for my divorce/finances, excellent service and highly recommend. My case was managed by Stewart Henderson and found him diligent and very professional and he made what is such a stressful thing to go through so much easier.

Stewart Henderson is quite simply First Class. I have been exceptionally grateful to Stewart for his extremely high level of professionalism, advice, guidance and knowledge in navigating both the family courts and divorce process while I also personally navigate advanced motor neurone disease MND.Nothing was and is to much trouble for Stewart and his dedication to his clients, I have been touched by the level he has gone to for the love of a father and a daughter which has given us a wonderful summer we otherwise would not have had together.As my illness has progressed Stewart has adapted with ease and swiftly to communicate in all formats to enable me to continue to be fully evolved and my voice heard in what is a very stressful and challenging time for all who have to go through it to simply be a dedicated loving parent. Being supported by Stewart has given me the positive outcome I thought was simply unachievable at the start of the process.I will be forever grateful, and highly recommend Stewart Henderson. Very best wishes in your chosen carrier, you are quite simply excellent.on behalf of Mr S Goldsmith.

I was recommended Frances Lindsay & Co by a friend who had used this company for his divorce. I had previously started with a firm from Beaconsfield that were good but I felt very expensive for their services. I was recommended to see Stewart Henderson who was completing his training as a solicitor when I was introduced to him in early 2020. Stewart is now a fully qualified solicitor. As he was completing his training he needed a senior colleague to supervise his work. I was put in touch with a senior solicitor who then had to take time off during the first lockdown and another senior colleague called Manjit Bains took over. Although I did not physically meet Manjit due to the pandemic and the lockdown I had several conversations with her during the first lockdown and found her style and manner someone I could work with. As a consequence when the original senior solicitor came back to work, I specifically asked Manjit to continue working with Stewart on my case.My ex-wife had chosen a nasty, aggressive lawyer based in Windsor off St Leonard's Road near Upton Court School. He was a despicable solicitor whose every written communication was meant to provoke a negative response. Apparently he was know in Windsor and Maidenhead for his aggressive manner. His ulterior aim was to make divorce mediation fail and to make every thing go to court so he could line his own pocket. Fortunately I had Manjit and Stewart who always managed to always calm me down whenever I had a letter from this nasty solicitor.A year later my divorce is over. Divorce is one of the most painful things a person has to go through but with the right legal team this painful episode can be more bearable. As a hospital consultant I have dealt with lots of kinds of people but in my divorce I dealt with two types of solicitors. A professional, caring and compassionate team in Stewart Henderson and Manjit Bains and a completely unprofessional solicitor who was employed by my ex-wife.Dr K.R.SFurther to my original review this year my ex-wife's greedy solicitor who is based on Beaumont Street in Windsor lodged an application to court because I refused to sign Spanish passport renewal papers for our children. The reason I refused to sign the papers was because they were in Spanish and I could not sign what I did not understand. Instead of asking my ex-wife to translate the papers to English he lodged papers in the family court. Only when Manjit and Stewart brought to his attention no English judge would force me to sign papers in Spanish did he get my ex-wife to formally translate the papers into English. We then signed an order the day before the court hearing that I would sign the relevant paperwork and that neither of us would seek legal costs from the other party. Even after the paperwork was lodged in court my ex-wife's unscrupulous solicitor filed papers in court asking the judge to award her legal costs. Fortunately the judge did not award any costs.The paperwork needed to be certified by a barrister and Stewart went out of his way to organise a barrister to sign the paperwork for me.So if you want honest, reliable solicitors in matrimonial affairs go and see Stewart Henderson or Manjit Bains at Frances Lindsay & CoDr. K.R.S27th October 2023Two years on after the divorce my ex-wife has tried very hard to falsely report me to the police and social services to try and gain full custody of the children so I would have to pay her child maintenance which I do not do as we share equal custody of our children. Unfortunately I foolish shouted at my daughter about some school work. My ex -wife poisoned my daughter and she refused to come with me on a weekend she was supposed to be with me. I spoke to Manjit who told me to try and re-establish my relationship with my daughter. After 12 days my daughter told me she missed me and wanted to go back to spending half her time with me. I am grateful to Manjit's invaluable advice. Dr K.R.S

I first came across Frances Lindsay & Co during my child's third court proceedings. I started off with a solicitor, whom was recommended by a friend. However, from the beginning, I was not happy with their service. I searched on Google for family law solicitors. I had spoken to a few, they all spoke about money.I saw Frances Lindsay and Co's number and called them. I spoke to the receptionist and asked to speak to a family law solicitor. This was to be turning point in my life!!A solicitor called Stewart Henderson came on the phone and listened to my story. I had told him about my daughter and the case I was going through. My case was a very complicated one, he sat and listened to me for about 45 minutes asking a few questions along the way. This was the point I knew I wanted him to represent me as for the first time I felt like my voice was being heard.He represented me for the next two years while my case was still going on, in a highly professional and caring manner. Which made me believe there was going to be only one outcome in these proceedings. Everything was completed on time of the highest standard, even when the other side were not doing what had been asked of them. Mr Henderson endeavoured to keep our standards to the pinnacle of professionalism. The entire time doing his best to keep my costs at a minimum. He understood my situation and my income and did not pressure me financially. He allowed me to pay when it was suitable for me.I felt like Mr.Henderson really cared and we built a friendship over the past two years. I could go on and on giving praise to Mr Henderson, but to keep a long story short I won my case in the third proceeding of a 10 year long, complex custody battle. Which I know without Mr Hendersons help and support, I would not have been able to have been successful.So, I highly recommend Frances Lindsay & Co to anybody who Is not just looking for a solicitor, but for a compassionate, caring and highly professional person.Steward Henderson I want to thank you so much, you have made a little girl have a chance of a better future. And for this, I am forever grateful.
