Sophy Miles and David Jockelson with their LALY awards

Double for Miles & Partners at the 2010 Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards

A memorable fact that says a lot about Miles & Partners LLP.

In 2010 we won not one but two prestigious LAPG Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards in two of the ten categories open for nomination – Sophy Miles received the Mental Health Lawyer of the Year and David Jockelson was named Family Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year.

Sophy is Head of the Mental Health Department at Miles & Partners LLP. She is also one of the founding partners of Miles & Partners which has been committed to serving clients in the areas of Family, Mental Health and Housing Law since 1996.

“All of us who work in legal aid know that there are a handful of absolute stars who lead the rest of us ... Sophy Miles is this person from mental health and mental capacity....there is no one in the field I admire more” wrote one supporter.

Another wrote, “Of all the solicitors I have worked with I can say without extravagance or hyperbole that Sophy Miles is one who is remarkable. I have rarely encountered a solicitor practitioner who is so tireless in her sense of duty to achieve the best outcome for her clients.”

In supporting Sophy’s nomination one client said, “I felt so pleased to at last find a solicitor that can communicate with me and understand my levels of stress” “She explained the ins and outs to me in a way that I could understand so when leaving her office I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders and felt safe”

This last comment goes to the heart of the Miles & Partners ethos which focuses on the needs of clients and providing a service to the highest standards.

David Jockelson has specialised in Family Law, especially Care Proceedings, for the last 20 years and joined the Family Department at Miles & Partners in 2005. He is also a trained and registered counsellor, therapist and parenting coach. He has been described as “always willing to go the final mile for his client” and drawing on “real emotional depth, understanding and humanity."

David’s commitment to his clients is described as “routinely exceptional.” Mrs Justice Pauffley wrote about an “entrenched and complex” case where David was able to “provide advice of exceptional quality so as to achieve a supremely child-focused consensus outcome.”
