Philip and the team at Sinels far exceeded my expectations in their successful recovery of a £1.2m debt in full that had been misappropriated by a former director of my company. This was achieved despite legal advice from other firms over the prior 6 years suggesting a low likelihood of success. They maintained excellent communication around costs, preparatory work, and strategy throughout the case.
What particularly set them apart was their common-sense, level-headed, and creative approach to problem solving in a complex and extremely hostile situation. Having worked with them over several years, I am immensely grateful for the robustness of their approach and the meticulous care they applied at every stage of the restitution process. I have no hesitation in recommending Sinels and can confidently vouch for their competence, reliability, and integrity.
I’m sorry it has been so long, but as we are reaching the end of what can only be described as “a five year saga” I would like to thank you personally for all your support you not only gave me, but also for the support you have given to the family and continue to when needed.
2024 was an exceptionally challenging year and it was down to you who agreed to support my family and myself “in the last hour” in the final week.
It was you who got us through the final stage by agreeing to step up as a director which secured payment of the loan.
I would also like to thank your colleague who helped me so much in 2022 with my witness proof. I will always be very grateful to both of you for all your help and hard work.
As a parent it has been particularly hard witnessing the bullying, intimidation and anger continuously shown towards my son from “the family”. He has shown a huge amount of courage and strength battling through and working alongside professionals and lawfully at all times. There were many times both of us wanted to walk away and be rid of the narcissism, prejudice and gaslighting that was displayed, but there was always the great sense of injustice that kept us going. I have learnt a lot about the law especially Companies Act 2006 which has been very interesting, but I hope never to hear it quoted again.
Sinels has been formally instructed to act on our behalf in recovering the outstanding debt owed. Please note that this firm is composed of real professionals actively working on this case, and they are fully authorised to communicate with you, negotiate repayment terms, and take further action if necessary
With Sinels looking after my personal and business affairs I feel a sense of security. They will always go that extra mile
I found Sinels listened sympathetically, understood the situation quickly, and provided sound advice for the way forward. In the Court I remained calm as Sinels were always in control
Being a non native and finding myself on the wrong end of a domestic breakup, the kindness, understanding and clarity given to meby Catia Tavares, of Sinels was a life saver, when one is stressed, fearful and confused to have a professional clear the way is more than a relief, with her guidance I quickly began to understand and know what to do with the situation, I will be forever grateful for her Humane professionalism and legal advice
Great working with Catia, and I would have no issues in recommending Catia to others in need of Jersey biased support
I cannot thank you enough for all your advice and support during the divorce proceedings. It was a very stressful time but somehow you made me feel reassured and supported throughout the process
Following a contentious probate dispute a client, Mr J Stuart, praised the outstanding work and approach of Advocate Catia Tavares and said a big thank you for all she had done and wrote Catia kept me in the loop with everything and explained everything so thoroughly, I really am truly grateful
Divorce is so difficult and having to walk through this alone would have been unthinkable. Catia Tavares was there every step of the way. Nothing phased Catia nor the rest of the team at Sinels. Dealing with the divorce itself and handling expertly the complexities of the ancillary matters due to the various business’ and Family Trusts involved has made my journey as smooth as possible. In addition Catia has been available at all times to sort out the expected as well as the unexpected elements of my particular case.
