Family Law

Caring and Considerate

I had a very positive experience with Sarah Watts. She was calm, clear, and professional throughout, helping me avoid unnecessary conflict and stress. Her initial session was great value, and she explained everything in a way that made sense. She worked constructively with the other side, kept things efficient, and billed fairly. Divorce is hard enough — having someone who knows the law, works well with mediators, and keeps things from escalating made all the difference.

Family Law

The highest of recommendations.

If you are choosing representation, I can’t recommend DPM Legal, and in particular, Sarah Watts highly enough. Sarah works at pace, she is thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. She is commanding in the Court room and you will feel at ease having her on your side. DPM’s pricing was reasonable and transparent compared to other firms I spoke with. Sarah took my case on short notice and helped me obtain a positive conclusion.

Child Arrangement - A Fathers Review

I would highly recommend DPM Legal for any parent that is looking for support and guidance throughout a child arrangement or custody situation. Sarah Watts and Emily Rampton were able to provide a quality service from start to finish, and allayed any fears and reservations I had as a single father, in what was a very stressful and daunting time for me (something I think any parent in a similar situation understands). My queries were always answered promptly and I was always given genuine and thoughtful advice in reaching what was ultimately a very positive outcome, all whilst making sure things were kept as financially viable for me as possible. I would recommend them without hesitation for people looking for help with family law and am thankful for all the support they gave me.

Divorce resolution

One rarely if ever gets divorced and I chose DPM Legal without any recommendation, just a small advertisement in a Surrey magazine. Their efficiency and knowledge was exceptional and in particular Sarah Watts, my solicitor, was outstanding in getting to grips with my circumstances and the whole procedure of a clean resolution with my former wife was conducted fairly and to the agreement and satisfaction of both parties.

Sarah Watts recommendation

Sarah Watts is the best! I was recommended by a friend and from the outset I was in good hands. She is knowledgeable, insightful, formidable, when needed. She had my back to make sure I was navigated through a time in which I was vulnerable, Sarah was available, when I called which was reassuring and gave me direct contact. She also went the extra mile throughout the whole process. I can't thank her and the team at DPM legal enough, I would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Sarah.
