A wise choice
A few years ago, my husband employed the services of Athena Law to pursue a claim for mis-sold holiday ownership in Malta. I think Athens means "wisdom" and what a wise choice it turned out to be. Stephen Boyd worked tirelessly on our behalf and never gave up in reaching a satisfactory conclusion to the case. It took several years and a lot of heartache including the loss of my dear husband, and Stephen was with me every step of the way. Once the claim was finally settled, Stephen pursued an additional loss claim, which has now been paid including an additional payment for "inconvenience", based on the terrible way I was treated by the Bank. Stephen had to manage unbelievable difficulties and problems and when you consider that his fee is a fixed percentage, no matter how long the case takes, he really did earn his money. I was given regular updates with the progress of the case and I was grateful not to have to deal with the Bank directly. I will be forever grateful for all that Athena Law did to redress the terrible injustice of the purchases in Malta and I know that my husband would also have been delighted with the financial outcome because of the commitment and efforts of Stephen Boyd. If you are looking for a reputable solicitor, then I would highly recommend Stephen Boyd at Athena Law. It would be a wise choice.
Athena Law and in particular Stephen…
Athena Law and in particular Stephen have worked tirelessly on my case. I was kept informed at all stages and Stephen’s knowledge and advice was greatly appreciated. With all the timeshares sharks and conmen out there I was reassured that I had found a legitimate solicitor who could help me. I have just had a successful complaint against the bank and my loan has now been written off, it wasn’t quick but I was prepared to wait. So if you are unsure give Stephen and Athena Law a call to see if they can help you - I am glad I did.
Outstanding Service!
Outstanding Service! During an initial consultation about timeshare relinquishment Stephen Boyd took time to understand our position and quickly provided us with very clear options based upon our individual circumstances. We took Stephen's advice and within 6 weeks we had accepted a surrender offer from the timeshare company. I would highly recommend Athena Law to anyone seeking to surrender their timeshare membership.
An excellent trust worthy Firm to deal with
From the very beginning, my late Wife (a retired Chartered Legal Executive Lawyer, but whose expertise was not in this area of Law) and I felt that we were in good hands. The communication was timely and informative. The advice given from day one up until final closure in April of this year was exacting and precise.
Right from the very beginning
Right from the very beginning, my solicitor (Mr Boyd) was completely honest, I was told what the chances of success are, after looking into my case, also making me aware of the reality of the fact that it may not necessarily go as hoped. Once the process was started, I had support, information ,follow-up up consistently, I was kept in the loop at all times, whenever I needed clarification, when I had questions or I was simply panicking, the dialogue was always there, the firm was very understanding and offered reassurance. It has been a very difficult time,a very long process (4 years), with plenty of delays, frustrating situations, and I am grateful that the firm did truly what they do best and went as far and as strong as they needed to, in order to offer the best service they could offer. I will happily and most confidently recommend Athena Law to anyone in need of a solicitor. Outstanding customer service and quality.

Our timeshare nightmare ended thanks to Stephen Boyd
We bought a Timeshare in 2016 at the Azure resort in Malta. It did not take us long to realise what a big mistake it was, tying ourselves to a long contract which would involve us paying a yearly maintenance fee as well as tying our children into the contract long after our deaths. We had sleepless nights and were consumed with worry and looked for a way out. There seemed to be lots of firms vying for our custom who promised they could do this, but which could we trust? After searching on the internet we came across Stephen Boyd at Athena Solicitors and were impressed by what he wrote. We contacted him and it was the best decision we could have made. He was reassuring and confident that he could not only get us out of the contract, but that he would be able to get a refund of the £16,000 we had paid for the timeshare, of which £3,000 was the deposit. First of all, he got us out of the contract (what a relief that was!) then he got Barclays to refund us the £13,000 we had borrowed. This happened quite quickly. We never expected to see the £3,000 deposit again, nor the three annual maintenance fees we had paid, but never used. These amounted to approximately £1,200. Stephen told us that we were entitled to this as well and set about making it happen. Barclays were very slow to sort this out, seemingly drawing the process out as long as they could. Stephen never gave up on us and pursued Barclays and the Financial Ombudsman with emails and held meetings until, finally, they refunded all they owed, with 8% annual interest on top!. We could not have wished for a better, totally trustworthy person to act on our behalf. He took a personal interest in our case. He was always there for us, responding quickly to any concerns we had. One company kept pestering us to sign up with them and kept on phoning us regularly. They made unfounded allegations about what would happen if we did not join them (it seems to be a bit like the wild west out there). I remember phoning Stephen on at least two occasions about this and he always got back to me, assuring me not to worry. It has been a long, drawn out process, especially the last eighteen months waiting for Barclays to fulfil their obligations, but Stephen, as I wrote above, never gave up and brought the whole process to a happy conclusion. I can only recommend Stephen and Athena Law in the highest possible terms. His care and professionalism were first class and we can never thank him enough for all he has done for us.
