"Duncan has a quiet and calm authority in meetings and a creativity that enables company-owning couples to better grasp their options, comprehend the up and downsides of their various choices and steer more calmly and with greater understanding towards better outcomes. A useful piece of kit." James Pirrie, Family Law in Partnership.

"I found Haines Watts Forensics team in Exeter on the internet at the time I was going through an extremely acrimonious divorce and needed independent advice. Part of that process was to have my company valued by a forensic accountant and Duncan Barnes and his team were very responsive to my request, dealing with matters in an empathic and professional manner but not afraid also to air an opinion when necessary. Phone calls were always returned which helps when you are under pressure running your own business and dealing with personal issues at the same time. I have subsequently sought the advice of Duncan and his team on another matter and would highly recommend them." Paul Sturgess, Caldecotte Consultants Limited.

"Dear Caroline, The case on which your firm helped us so much is just about to come to an end and I wanted to take this opportunity of thanking you and your team again for all of your excellent work. It was a complicated situation, one where even the lawyers couldn’t say whether all of the needed documentation had been supplied. We had to have expert assistance to ascertain the extent and values of the assets, and guidance on how to deal with them. You reduced it all to several sheets of figures with footnotes that anyone could follow. What a talent! This firm would have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others in our business all of whom face similar issues quite often. Our best wishes for your continued success." Sharon L. Cloud, The Family Law Partnership LLP, Surrey

"We have used HW on a number of occasions both as a single and joint expert in matrimonial financial court proceedings and in a collaborative law case and have always found them to be extremely helpful. They explain and prepare their reports on, what can often be a confusing area of practice, in a simplistic manner and we particularly like the fact they understand that reporting within matrimonial proceedings needs to be approached differently to valuations for businesses for sale on the open market.

We would not hesitate to propose HW to act as joint experts in the future and indeed, we are aware that Counsel who we frequently instruct has been so impressed with the reports provided, they have also recommended them to other Instructing Solicitors"
