Compassionate and Constructive Approach to Divorce
The Agreeable model — provided by the amazing team at Family Law Partners, was exactly what we needed. It turned what could have been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process into something calm, constructive, and respectful.
Sarah and Kim were nothing short of exceptional. From the start, they brought not only professionalism and legal expertise, but also genuine empathy, warmth, and humanity. They made us feel supported, heard, and cared for throughout the entire journey. Their ability to guide us through both the legal and emotional aspects of divorce was truly outstanding. They didn’t just handle the process; they helped us handle the experience.
Having one solicitor-mediator support both of us worked incredibly well. It kept communication open, reduced conflict, and helped ensure every decision was fair and focused on what mattered most, especially our children. The approach encouraged mutual respect and allowed us to move forward with dignity.
Sarah and Kim went above and beyond. They made a painful time feel manageable and even hopeful at times. I am deeply grateful for their skill, kindness, and guidance.
If you are looking for a less adversarial, more human way to approach separation, I can’t recommend the Agreeable experience and the Family Law Partners team highly enough. Sarah and Kim made a real and lasting difference.
