Testimonials

Don’t just take my word for it. Here is what some of my past clients have said:

“At a really difficult time in my life, going through a horrid divorce and becoming a single parent, I found the professionalism, wisdom and warmth from Ben Tisdall hugely reassuring. No question was left unanswered, and the support I received was immeasurable. If needed, I would not hesitate in asking for Ben’s help again in the future, nor in recommending him to anyone who needs a solicitor with heart.”

J. Teignmouth

“When I was made redundant, I would not have reached the settlement, without Ben’s help, which then allowed me to set up my own business. He gave me the breathing space to negotiate new contracts and allowed me to set up my own company. Experience, reassurance, empathy and understanding are critical in the role of a solicitor and Ben has all those skills. I haven’t hesitated to recommend him far and wide.”

K, Hampshire

“The prospect of a divorce, let alone legal terminology and potential court proceedings filled me with dread in an already stressful period of my life. Ben's immense knowledge combined with his calm demeanour allowed me to process everything at my own pace whilst providing the support I so sorely needed. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

P, Gloucestershire

“When you are trying to cope with the adversity of separation, domestic abuse and parental alienation, trying to find the right lawyer can feel like a nightmare, especially when your children’s wellbeing and future is your first priority. Luckily, I had the energy to shop around and didn’t just accept the first closest option. After a chat on the phone, I realised Ben Tisdall is a solicitor that cares beyond just getting the Court process right. Ben had the insight and experience not only to understand my children’s dire and complex situation but also support my emotional needs throughout the case. “

M, Cornwall.

“At a time when we were distraught and disoriented, the advice and support offered by Ben brought clarity and lucidity to our ‘court bound’ problem. Once we reached court we felt prepared and confident. Additionally (and importantly) Ben’s advice on who exactly should support us (once in court) was absolutely appropriate. We put our trust in Ben and ultimately this brought us absolute success in defending the claim against us. Available whenever we needed him, always showing great empathy and patience, we would not hesitate to recommend his legal service.”

N, Devon.

“Ben has recently acted on our behalf in a very complicated case dealt with by the family High Court. His expertise and effort produced judgement in our favour. I cannot recommend his services enough and will be eternally grateful to him.“

C, Plymouth.

“Over many years, I have relied on Ben for professional legal advice and support when needed. He has always had the time to talk and explain the situation and has always delivered what we have needed promptly and had the desired response. I am sure, if needed, I will be calling Ben again.”

B, Oxford.

“When I made an appointment with Ben Tisdall, to discuss my divorce it was the best decision I ever made. During this extremely difficult time, he was kind, honest and direct, I had complete faith in his ability. Throughout the process, from initial consultation to the final outcome he provided professional clarity and expertise when I needed it the most, coupled with peace of mind that I was in more than capable hands. If I had an enquiry, he quickly responded via a telephone call or an email. I was never kept waiting for legal guidance. In addition to his excellent advice, Ben also has the much-needed personal qualities required whilst going through challenging times. I found him to be diligent, empathetic and conscientious. He provided expert guidance, thorough clear explanations and ongoing reassurance. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ben and indeed have already done so to a number of my friends”

S, Paignton

“We were incredibly lucky to have Ben on our legal team in a parental alienation case that had been going back and forth for nearly three years. Not only was Ben’s knowledge on this still unspoken topic invaluable, but his advice on preparations prior to the case and his manner in the courtroom was absolutely tremendous. Ben can ‘read’ people and has very good insight on PA and predicts very well on how the judge and other participants will behave and respond. This thorough preparation and knowledge won us a change of residency to the father and was pretty much a landmark case as this happens so very rarely. Ben's passion for ensuring the professional experts and others involved know the destruction of PA causes was a major factor in this result. Not only that but Ben's personal support before, during and after was above and beyond. He wanted to ensure, us as clients were emotionally and mentally supported through the most emotionally difficult and draining procedure. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that without Ben we would not have got this rare result of a change of residency to the Dad. I will be forever grateful to him for literally rescuing these very damaged children through emotional abuse and for his care and support shown to us.”

E, Somerset

“At the time of instructing Ben Tisdall, my wife had left me and neither she nor my two-year-old daughter could be located. This 18-month process, through many court hearings and numerous setbacks, starting off with us not knowing where my daughter was and consequently no access, to an end result where I was having a majority of shared child arrangements. This involved both local and London High Court hearings, all of which were attended by Ben and on his recommendation a first-rate barrister. This was not a straightforward case and Ben was extremely professional in his approach to the whole situation, acting with urgency when required, holding back when necessary, challenging court decisions where appropriate, whilst still being empathetic towards me, keeping me fully informed at every step, as well as being able to explain things in layman’s terms if needed. Although frustrating at times, the above made me feel confident that a positive outcome would prevail. Ben treated me with individuality and was always there if I needed him, ready to answer questions and concerns I might have. I sincerely believe that without having Ben at the helm of my case, the outcome could have been much less positive for me and I would recommend his services to anyone and would not hesitate to employ him again.”

M, Devon.

“Ben Tisdall helped make sense of a complex corporate legal structure, sought a barristers opinion at exactly the right time and moved us swiftly to a resolution. He is a man with a plan who carries it through with precision. His ability to translate the nuance of the justice system, saved a great amount of valuable time and his skills at brining the matter to our favour, also saved us a lot of money.”

P, Royal African Safaris.

“Ben is an excellent solicitor in many regards, but his people skills in terms of empathy, understanding and compassion, patience and confidence is what sets him aside from the rest. Couple this with his distinctive moral compass, I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone; indeed I have introduced him to many others, who have been very satisfied with the results.”

E, Paignton.

“I moved to Ben after three long years of litigation in the family courts and my only regret is not having him from the outset. From the very first meeting it was clear he was sharp, very experienced and it felt literally like weight was off my shoulders, something my previous Solicitor had never managed to achieve in 3 years. If you are looking for a solicitor to be engaged, on your side and ahead of the game then Ben is without a doubt who you want representing you. The difference he has made cannot be expressed enough. If you have a particularly difficult or challenging case, like mine was, speak to Ben first!”

S, Torbay

“Ben has advised me on a number of contractual areas and his empathetic manner and immediate grasp of issues has been first class. With Ben you get so much more than “just another solicitor” with his style, approach and delivery and I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

S, Plymouth

“Ben Tisdall is a top class family law solicitor who not only is a gentleman but a professional lawyer who has been incredibly supportive, understanding and determined to assist me through my family court hearings. I truly believe in his knowledge, ability and expert representation. Thank you Ben Tisdall”

A, Devon

“Above most things, Ben is honest. Sometimes brutally so. But that's what makes him a great family lawyer. He never leads me to believe that something is possible just to get money - if I ask for advice, he gives it to me straight and doesn't sugar coat it. This is why I value my working relationship with him. He is thorough, professional and I wouldn't want anybody else supporting me in my custody battle. Personally, I plan on keeping in touch with Ben once my case is closed as he has already helped me get more contact with my son than I ever expected that I would and I will always be grateful for that!”

J, Plymouth.

“Ben has always provided me with quick, clear and helpful employement law advice whenever I have needed it. He is a very supportive and professional solicitor and I'd recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Ben!”

G, Devon.

“I have worked with Ben on a number of cases of a personal nature. Ben has always been amazing. He is diligent, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He has always pulled a rabbit out of a hat for me and I could not recommend Ben highly enough.”

D, Cornwall.

“Ben is a first-class professional who deals with family matters with unrivalled empathy. All too often the solicitor is the only winner in these matters but he truly wants the best outcome for all, in particular children. A friendly, sharp and focussed guy who makes the very daunting process of the court seem clear and concise to those with little or no experiences these matters. Highly recommended.”

S, Torbay

“Highly recommend Ben Tisdall Solicitor for all family law related needs. Ben is incredible at being both empathetic and practical. He had great compassion helping me through a very difficult period. Ben not only gave me exceptional clear and understandable legal advice but also kindness, sensitivity and thoughtfulness navigating me through a difficult divorce. Highly recommend.”

B, Devon

“Ben is a true professional, one of his best qualities being his understanding and sharing in the emotion of his clients situation. I would recommend him to anyone I know and cannot thank him enough for all the help and support during my divorce proceedings.”

S, Torbay

“Ben provides excellent service combined with empathy. His immense experience gives an invaluable perspective whilst also providing support during stressful times; an absolute rock during my divorce proceedings.”

K, Torbay

“Ben has been a real tonic after previous experiences. He is thorough, compassionate and above all focused on the best out come for the child. He’s exceptionally diplomatic and unbelievably nice. In a nut shell- in a dismal time he give hope, support and cracking legal advice! If the world was full of more Ben’s it would be a far warmer and kinder place.”

V, Bristol

“Throughout the entire process he made us feel confident that there was a game plan in place, and that at every step we were gaining something. During all hearings and meetings with the opposing side he performed outstandingly, with professionalism, knowledge and control. We never felt like we were on the back foot”
