Dawson Cornwell were instrumental in my case and I can't thank Poppy enough for all the support she gave me from the outset in working towards a resolution. From the very beginning, Poppy provided exceptional guidance, combining expertise with clear communication and constant reassurance. Her knowledge and professionalism were truly outstanding. Thank you so much Poppy and Tanya!

My experience with DC was very poor, from beginning to end, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Almost from the outset, Carolina treated me, as her supposed client, in a combative and argumentative fashion. Never did it appear that she was actually on my side about anything, so she most likely should've refused my case, unless she is money hungry, which is the only assumption I can make. She outright lied to me, that she would ensure certain protections were in place for me upon returning to the country, and also assurances that the children's passports would be returned to me upon conclusion of the proceedings. None of this was done and their firm still holds the passports to this day! Oh and if this wasn't bad enough, Carolina misspelled my name in our communications throughout my dealings with her, despite being asked to correct this multiple times. This only further communicated to me that she did not care about me as a fellow human being, and not at all as her client. The results that DC got for me and my children in these proceedings were pathetic, and nothing that was promised me from the outset. In the final hearing, the judge refused me the opportunity to present several items as well, stating they should've been presented as "findings of fact" in a hearing by my solicitors, which they never did, despite these proceedings being protracted beyond a year! If I had to do it all over again, I would've represented myself throughout because absolutely nothing they did I couldn't have done on my own, and probably achieved a much better result for a lot less hassle and money! You'll do well to avoid DC at all costs.

A Lifesaver in Every Sense – My Deepest Gratitude to Charlotte Conner Charlotte Conner is not just a solicitor — she is a lifeline. When I came to her, I was trapped in the most dangerous, controlling, and emotionally abusive marriage. I was overwhelmed, broken, and terrified, with no idea how to begin untangling myself from the situation I was in. Charlotte’s expertise, calm strength, and strategic mind quite literally gave me my life back. She approached my case with incredible care and insight, guiding me through every step with dignity and fierce advocacy. She protected me with skill, empowered me with knowledge, and helped me rebuild not just my legal position — but my sense of self. She didn’t just represent me — she rescued me. Her unwavering dedication helped me escape a situation that could have completely destroyed me. Charlotte stood by my side, giving me the strength and direction I needed when I had none of my own. Today, I am no longer homeless. I am finally about to have a permanent roof over my head — something I never imagined possible again — and my life is slowly but surely moving forward. I now have stability, peace, and the chance to build the life I deserve. And all of that is only because of her. Charlotte didn’t just win a legal case — she gave me back my independence, my dignity, and my future. She taught me how to stand tall again, how to face the world with strength, and how to navigate life’s hardest moments with courage. I carry those lessons with me every day. No words will ever be enough to express the depth of my gratitude. Charlotte Conner and the Dawson Cornwell team didn’t just change my life — they saved it. If you are in a dark place, Charlotte is the light you need.

Review by Syeda Anam Sana Naqvi Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan... I am writing this review with immense gratitude and deep appreciation for the exceptional legal support I received from Dowson Cornwell law firm, especially Miss Sulema Jahangir, during one of the most challenging times of my life. My minor son, Ali Abbas Hashemi, was wrongfully removed from Pakistan to the United Kingdom by his father. As a mother, the pain and helplessness I experienced were beyond words. I was desperate for justice and for the safe return of my son. In this difficult time, I was fortunate to be represented by Miss Sulema Jahangir and the brilliant team at Dowson Cornwell. Miss Sulema Jahangir is not only an outstanding solicitor but also a compassionate human being who truly understands the emotional toll such cases take on a mother. Her professionalism, deep understanding of international family law, and relentless dedication to justice gave me the strength and hope I needed. She handled my case with utmost sincerity, sensitivity, and strategic expertise. Thanks to her tireless efforts and the unwavering support of the Dowson Cornwell team, I was able to secure the return of my beloved son. I will forever remain thankful to them. If you are looking for a law firm that blends legal excellence with genuine empathy, I wholeheartedly recommend Dowson Cornwell. They are more than just lawyers — they are advocates for justice, for mothers, and for families who are struggling across borders. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Dowson Cornwell, and thank you Miss Sulema Jahangir.
