Absolutely fantastic!! Cate Jewell is an amazing solicitor. Throughout my rather complicated family law case she was amazing. Cate Always made sure I understood everything clearly and was always only a phone call/email away. Cate is extremely knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to recommend both herself and wollens.

Cate Jewell
Family Law Executive
I re-joined Wollens in 2020 as a member of the Childcare Team having experience in this field of law of over 18 years.
I represent parents in pre-proceedings (PLO) with the local authority and within complex care proceedings through the Family Court as well as advising grandparents who seek to care for their grandchildren.
I also represent parents facing allegations of physical, sexual and emotional abuse of their children, with parents dealing with mental health issues, alcohol and drug dependency and with parents who have learning disabilities or learning difficulties.
I have experience in representing parents who require the added support and representation from the Official Solicitor and who would be considered a protected party. This can be quite complex and requires attuned representation.
I undertake my own advocacy at meetings and at Court hearings.
I have also built up excellent working relationships with barristers specialising in this work, along with other professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, intermediaries/advocates and support workers which enables me to implement the most appropriate support and advice network for the parent that I am assisting.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and engaging in community activities including currently holding title of Honorary Secretary of the New Road Community Association (the Richard Newton Hall) in Teignmouth and supporting our other local charitable organisations. I was honoured to have been elected Mayor of Teignmouth in May 2024 and am currently fulfilling that role.
Testimonials
Cate was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. I am so so grateful to Cate and the barristers that I worked with. She was amazing at getting back to me fast and making sure I was calm and understood everything. I can’t thank Cate and her team enough. Knowing I had an amazing legal team really helped me feel supported and confident.
Cate Jewell and her team were super amazing. Cate was excellent and very professional. She was very supportive and gave me profound advice. Would recommend her to anyone who is in family court as she is the best solicitor ever. I enjoyed working with her as she understood me and never judged me.
Cate and Rachel have been assisting me for the last 4 years on an extremely complex case, They were both extremely helpful, understanding, caring and patient at all times. I would not use any other Solicitors than Wollens. My calls and emails was always responded to promptly and whenever I spoke to the team they never rushed me and they was always so helpful.
I wish them all the best in the future and any legal issues I may encounter either personal or business, Wollens will be my first point of contact.
Cate and the woollens team really made this harrowing experience actually comfortable and easy going. Really recommend this service, positive feedback all around, no negatives
