Shortlisted for Excellent Customer Focus Award

Our sister firm, McMillan Williams Solicitors (Chelmsford) are delighted to have been shortlisted in the Essex Business Awards for “Excellent Customer Focus”.

The Excellent Customer Focus Award is for companies that can demonstrate the highest standard of customer care and service. This could be by adopting a positive and focused approach to meet their customer’s needs.

Our Chelmsford Family team is headed by Marjana Uddin. They have been recognised in particular for their work with domestic abuse organisations and for providing pro-bono legal advice. For the following establishments:

• Chelmsford Law Clinic,

• Anglia Ruskin University,

• Next Chapter,

• Safer Places,

• and Southend On Sea Domestic Abuse Projects.

Many of whom refer clients directly to us needing urgent representation and advice.

Our close links with these referrers has allowed us to provide clients with holistic advice and support. This means that an individual seeking protection and fleeing a violent home life is able too. This allows the most vulnerable clients to get help with the legal and other various aspects including:

• housing,

• refuge accommodation,

• benefits advice,

• and information from local police.

This enables vulnerable clients to be protected immediately.

Our Head of Family, Nicola Jones-King commented: “We are amazed with the development of our Chelmsford team. The team have made amazing connections with their local establishments.”

“The reviews speak of hard work undertaken by the team in this particularly challenging area of family practice. It is gratifying to read clients making comments praising the work done.”

“Also expressing how nervous they were about speaking to a solicitor but found a friendly ear when they really needed one.”

“Especially with other local services that provide support to clients going through these particularly distressing times in need.”

“We have also been supported by others in the Private Client, Civil and Crime Teams. They have helped by providing advice in Essex which has allowed us to develop our services in this area.”

These awards asked us to demonstrate:

1. How customer needs are at the heart of our business?

2. How we are able to balance and fulfil the needs of customers within the commercial restraints of the business?

3. What the goals and objectives for the future development of customer service policy are within our firm?

4. What is our after sales and ongoing service policy?

We were able to demonstrate our commitment as a Family Team. As a business we want to ensure high standards of customer service through our high street office network.

Through the recruitment of lawyers and individuals who are able to provide advice across all areas and complexities of family law. And the modern use of technology, the skill set of our team allows us to make our business successful.

We are delighted to be shortlisted for our recognised commitment in Excellent Customer Service in Essex.
