Awards and Rankings

Fantastic service provided by Rebecca.

Recently used Rebecca Patience to obtain a prohibited steps order and and a child arrangement order which gave me a more favourable arrangement with my daughter than the previous arrangements. The process albeit was stressful, it was made so much easier having Rebecca’s support and assistance. The level of dedication, effort and knowledge in her field of expertise shone through in all the correspondence she drafted.

I hope I don’t have to use Harrison Drury again in these circumstances, but will 100% recommend Rebecca to anyone who finds themselves in my situation, I will also look to use Harrison Drury if I ever need legal support in the future.

Rebecca gives realistic advice and listens to the client

I have been instructed by Rebecca Patience from this firm. She is an excellent solicitor with a keen eye for detail. I have always felt fully supported by her to ensure the best outcome for the lay client. She gives realistic advice and listens to the client.

Always a professional piece of mind. Rebecca Patience at Harrison Drury is absolutely wonderful.

From the moment I initially contacted the solicitors she was always super efficient & professional. Communication is great and Rebecca is completely up to date with her knowledge and very punctual. Instantly putting you at ease. She is a friendly, supportive and reliable solicitor and has provided us with great support. I really couldn’t recommend her higher. Thank you Rebecca & Harrison Drury team.

From the first time I met Rebecca, she made me feel secure and I knew I was in good hands.

She has been professional throughout and nothing has been to much trouble. She has kept me updated at all stages of my divorce. This has been a long process and I feel like I have come to know Rebecca quite well during the last 2 years. She has represented me so well and always offered a listening ear during what has been, at times a stressful experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the same or a similar situation. All the staff I have encountered along the way have been really good in fact.

Rebecca Patience has been nothing short of outstanding!

Rebecca Patience was outstanding. Incredibly calm and reassuring, clear and concise in her communication.
