Finacial settlement and dividing of assets

Sarah is the most supportive and professional solicitors you could ever wish for. She efficiently helped me to navigate through one of the most difficult periods in my life. When faced with a stream of letters, documents and court orders, and real fears about losing our family home, she was always there to support and coach me through the process. Her approach is personalised, ultra supportive and highly competent. I would highly recommend her.

Going through a divorce and arranging shared care for my children hasn't been easy. Sarah was always easy to talk to, approachable, and genuinely supportive. She was realistic, honest, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Her advice helped me understand my options, manage my expectations, and feel more confident during some very difficult times. I'm incredibly grateful for everything Sarah has done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate solicitor. Thank you again, Sarah, for all your hard work and support.

Exceptional support and expertise

I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. Her support truly goes above and beyond what you’d expect from a solicitor. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and efficient when it comes to the legal side, but she also brings a level of empathy and understanding that makes a real difference. At times, it felt like Sarah was more than just a solicitor, she was also a coach, guiding me through one of the most challenging periods I’ve faced. She has a way of making you feel supported, reassured, and, most importantly, not alone. Her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care is something quite special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

We have worked with a few solicitors over the years trying to resolve family issues concerning child arrangements, but none quite like Sarah Ward. Sarah is a fantastic no-nonsense solicitor who is professional, courteous, and friendly. The service she has provided has been exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone, especially those, such as us, who have struggled with proceedings for years without resolution. Her guidance and advice have been immeasurable.

Sarah Ward has gone above to support me and my family, over the past year, with financial and family matters. She is extremely professional and I felt extremely confident to have her by my side in court. I knew I could discuss anything with Sarah and I wouldn't be judged, she was understanding and empathetic. I couldn't recommend her highly enough I hope I don't need a solicitor again, but if i did I would have no doubt in contacting Sarah and having her on my side once again. Thank you for all you help 5 starts stars enough x
