So far, I've had a very positive experience working with shiza ayub over the phone on my divorce paperwork. She has been professional, kind, and has explained everything clearly. She's been responsive to my questions and has made the process much less stressful.

The process isn't finished yet, which is why I'm leaving 4 stars for now, but I'm grateful for all of her help so far and appreciate her support.

I had an excellent experience with Wimbledon Solicitors, and I would especially like to thank Senior Solicitor Shiza Ayub and Philip squires for their outstanding support throughout my matter.

Shiza was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive from start to finish. She kept me informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and handled my case with great care and attention. Her dedication and expertise made what could have been a stressful process much easier to navigate.

I am extremely grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend Shiza Ayub and Wimbledon Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal representation.

I have worked with Selva and the team at Wimbledon Solicitors for the last eight years. I was first introduced to them when I was completely stuck with my application, and they worked day and night to ensure everything was perfect and submitted on time.

Throughout the years, Selva has always been available, incredibly supportive, and willing to offer valuable advice and help whenever I needed it. I cannot recommend them highly enough for their dedication and professionalism.

I highly recommend Shiza Ayub to anyone looking for an immigration solicitor. From the very beginning, she has been professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive.

She has taken the time to explain every step of the process clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and has always been responsive whenever I needed advice or reassurance. During what has been a very stressful and emotional time, her calm, compassionate, and professional approach has made a significant difference.

I have always felt that my case has been handled with great care and attention to detail. Shiza is approachable, thorough, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients.

Thank you, Shiza, for your dedication, kindness, and ongoing support. I truly appreciate everything you have done and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of excellent legal representation.

I had a great experience with the staff at Wimbledon Solicitors as they were very welcoming and always eager to give any assistance as soon as I arrived at the reception. In particular, much appreciation goes to Selva who handled my case with utmost professionalism and integrity. She was a very empathetic person and always listened to me and advised me accordingly. I was very anxious at the time because there were general delays but she wasn't hesitant to send emails to the homeoffice and was always quick to give me an update. She always responded to my emails promptly and always returned my calls. I will forever be grateful to Wimbledon Solicitors.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a divorce cost?

We handle family matters on a fixed fee, agreed in writing before we begin, so you know the cost from the start. The fee depends on whether your divorce is straightforward or involves contested finances. Start with a free initial phone consultation and we will explain what your matter is likely to cost.

Under the no-fault divorce process, a straightforward divorce usually takes around six to eight months from start to final order, partly because of a fixed twenty-week reflection period built into the law. Financial matters run alongside and can take longer if they are contested.

Often not. Many separations are resolved by agreement, and we can make that agreement legally binding through a consent order without a contested hearing. Court becomes necessary mainly where matters cannot be agreed, or where urgent protection is needed.

A consent order is a court-approved document that makes your financial agreement legally binding and final. Without one, a former spouse can bring a financial claim against you years later, so we usually recommend getting one even where things are amicable.

Yes. Where your matter does reach the family court, we can advise you and represent your position, whether it concerns finances or an urgent protective order.
