“I felt I was working with someone who not only understood me and protected my interests but also showed genuine empathy and gave sound advice.” I have a wealth of experience in navigating the complex issues around divorce, separation and children matters. In my view the key to a good outcome is finding an approach that best suits you and your family; one that achieves a sensible resolution, in the best possible way. I make use of resources such as life coaches, counsellors and facilitating face-to-face meetings and discussion, to encourage communication and early resolution. I am proud to be working with Tina in pioneering the one couple one solicitor model at One Family Law. This approach has the potential to assist many couples looking to divorce amicably, save cost and minimise the emotional trauma resulting from relationship breakdown. However, I understand that this approach will not be right for everyone. There are many options that we can consider together, to find an approach that best suits your circumstances - such as constructive negotiation, mediation, collaborative meetings, arbitration or court proceedings, or indeed a combination of these options. Once you have decided on a path that feels right for you, let’s focus on the life you want to build in future. In my experience, this can help turn a challenging and potentially disruptive chapter into something with the potential for growth and positive change. My ethos is to conduct matters constructively and sensibly, to explore creative solutions that are driven by my clients’ needs and the needs of their families; focusing on achieving what is most important to them. Get in touch when you’re ready to start this journey. I look forward to getting to know you.

Excellent support fro Victoria Barnett
Ms Victoria Barnett has been excellent at providing me with the legal and emotional support I needed to go through, first, the separation and later the divorce process. During this period I felt that I was working with someone who not only understood me and protected my interests but also showed me genuine empathy and was willing to give me sound advice beyond my actual case. At the end all was conducted professionally and with attention to detail. Against this background I would wholeheartedly recommend Ms Victoria Barnett.

Divorce
I had excellent service from Victoria Barnett , who helped me with some issues regarding my divorce which took place a few years ago , as my ex husband decided in the past two weeks not to fulfil his agreement to me and my children . Victoria dealt with the situation very effectively and was very knowledgeable in the best approach to take .

Great Experience, Highly Recommend
Victoria was a huge help to me in a really difficult situation, not only did she provide a great legal service but she helped me to see flaws in what I was willing to agree to and very much had a 'child first' approach which I really valued. Working with Victoria took so much stress away from the situation I had been trying to manage privately and has been worth her weight in gold in helping me get to a sensible agreement on child arrangements. Could not recommend enough, no one ever really expects to be landed in a separation/child arrangements situation and with not being in the UK very long I had no knowledge of anything I should be doing - which is a pretty vulnerable position to be in when trying to manage things for your child. Victoria went out of her way to explain everything and make me feel very comfortable with how the situation would play out.

Professional, Friendly and reassuring
Divorce can be difficult but was made better by Victoria and Laura at Sharp. The no drama reassurance and straight talking support was very helpful and made the experience as good as it could be. The feeling that they had my best interests at heart and were there when I was faced with often confusing and stressful situations was invaluable. I felt if I could no longer speak they would say the right thing and gave me no regrets in any decision. No letter was sent I wouldn't want to receive. Strong when needed with great knowledge and experience.
Very responsive and quick to act when necessary and understanding when I couldn't mirror their speed of reply. I appreciated how they tried to be as amicable as possible and diffuse situations even when faced with rude and pushy responses. They rise above.
In short I felt they cared and wanted to give me the best solution.

Very personable, helpful and professional
Victoria Barnett was extremely efficient and very personable, put me at my ease and patiently talked me through the process. I would highly recommend her as it really does make a difference when the interactions are pleasant, kind and all questions are answered fully and professionally in a timely manner.

Divorce process
Despite the fact that I had a difficult trial, due to the involvement of my solicitor, I managed to get through all this.
I was always informed in time, all the steps taken during the process were explained to me.
Always attentive to details, always attentive to my delicate situation, Mrs. Victoria helped me to go through this process easier.
I highly recommend this law firm, especially Mrs. Victoria Barnett, who has successfully represented me for over a year.
Many thanks.

Family Legal Support
From the start of my legal process with my ex-wife, to have the courts support me in fair access to my son, Victoria established a supportive and professional platform from the first discussion. We set out a plan and achieved everything we wanted and more. I cannot recommend Victoria and her team enough. I'll also add on a personnel level, I sadly lost my mother a few weeks prior to the final court hearing, Victoria enadged with the courts and made alternative arrangements with no demand on my time.
There have been additional follow-up sessions to further support after the hearing and regular check-ins with me to ensure all have been followed as directed by the courts.
Sharpe Family Law helped me through what can only be described as the most difficult part of my life to date, I cannot thank them enough.
