What clients say

‘Miles and Partners have been my solicitors for 11 years and have always been professional and supportive.
My main solicitor has been Amanda Dench who is highly professional and has worked very hard on my behalf. She has been very ably supported by Sara Nicolaou who has worked on my case for two years and has been professional, responsive, patient and supportive.
I could not have asked for a better team than Sara and Amanda and I am very grateful to them for all the work they have done.’
Family law client advised by Amanda Dench and Sarafina Nicolaou

‘From the beginning Sara has been incredibly kind, professional and passionate, not just about her work as solicitor but also as a person who wants to make a difference. She has excellent communication skills, she is very effective and efficient with her work, has very good judgment and exceptional analytical skills.
I have been extremely happy with Sara’s work ethic, enthusiasm and professional legal advice. She is also caring and gave me hope when things were complicated. She is able to explain things in a very simple way and even took the time to ask how I was doing throughout my court process.’

We would not have come this far if it was not for all your hard work and dedication. We are forever grateful!”

They are some the most knowledgeable, authentic and devoted experts who stayed on top of my case like eagles, 24/7.
I could not ask for a better crew! I genuinely love and admire them.”
