Sandra Russell

I have been advised and helped through my divorce and sorting out the financial aspect of it by Sandra Russell . What a wonderful lady . She is so knowledgeable, helpful and empathetic. Speaking to her by email , phone and in person has been so easy to do , while dealing with an emotional subject for me , ie the breakdown of my marriage . She explained everything clearly to me as we went along and I felt so at ease. It’s very daunting when any of us originally start this journey, but Sandra Russell is an expert who will lead you through it and you will definitely come out the other end . Thank you Sandra , it has been a pleasure.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Christine. It was an absolute pleasure to represent you and I wish you all the very best going forwards.

Biased Legal Advice. Subject - Official Complaint Regarding Services Provided by Sandra Russell at Acclaimed Family Law in Sheffield. In 2023, I sought assistance from Acclaimed Family Law and the services I received from Sandra Russell prior to it’s incorporation into Sills and Betteridge Solicitors. During this particularly challenging separation from my ex-partner, who was withholding access to my son. During my consultation with Sandra Russell, I clearly articulated my desire for a 50:50 custody arrangement. To my dismay, Sandra Russell abruptly stated that "I would never get 50:50 custody" without providing any rationale for her assertion. This response left me with the impression that her judgment may have been influenced by gender bias, as I am a man seeking equal rights to parenthood. Feeling dissatisfied with the guidance I received, I decided to terminate my engagement with Acclaimed Family Law and sought representation from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors in Sheffield. Despite the negative impact of Sandra Russell's advice on my case, which incurred further complications and resulted in further additional costs on my case down the line. I presented the same custody request to Irwin Mitchell, and after considerable effort and perserverance over a two year period, I am pleased to report that I have successfully obtained a 50:50 custody arrangement. I am now a proud father actively involved in my son's life. I believe it is essential for your firm to be aware of the experiences of clients like myself, as they reflect on the quality of legal counsel provided. I hope this complaint will lead to a review of practices to ensure that all clients receive fair and unbiased advice.

Sandra was great. She picked up my case after being dropped by my previous solicitors and did the job well. Communication was great and I could always contact her about anything and get a reply. Supported me and my family throughout. So grateful for all the hard work Sandra did on my behalf.

During a challenging divorce situation Sandra was patient when information wasn't always flowing at the desired rate. She was always available to advise and responded in a timely fashion when the time came for questions from myself. At each stage of this long process I felt I was receiving expert advice and achieved the best outcome in my circumstances.
