Can anyone recommend a divorce solicitor in the East Sussex area?

My cousin is very disappointed in the woman she has at the moment. She says she gets massive bills and the woman does nothing and explains very little.

She's emailed three from a website of recommended solicitors and none of them have got back to her.

Grateful for how to find a solicitor in the area who has good communication skills!

Is there no way she can do a DIY divorce? Friend has had massive trouble with solicitor...divorce being dragged out over 2.5 years and has now decided to do his own. That way he gets all the information directly and there is so much information and resources on the internet nowadays that it is not hard to do.

1. 5 years! Wait another 2.5 and then it will be automatic.What are the grounds for the divorce?I do know a good sols but she is in Bristol. Perhaps try Brighton as a big place so more specialists?

Had some good news. Because he has at least 10 grounds of unreasonable behaviour the court said they just need proof that she received the papers. He says that as soon as she get s the paper she will send some abusive email or text and that counts as proof. From what I know of her she is more than likely to do this.
I'm not sure what happens if she contests it though but as she has put divorce papers into 2 different courts and taken them out and then sat on one for over a year that needs amended he is hoping legal aid won't fund her contesting it as they have been funding her for the past 2.5 years!
Funny thing is when he took the papers in there was a woman beside him putting her own divorce papers in because her husband had sat on papers for 3 years and solicitors weren't doing anything either. I can't get my head behind the whole hanging onto someone legally when the relationship is over. Strange world.
