Solicitor at Walker Foster Limited

Ann Hallmark

Solicitor - Senior Solicitor

SRA ID: 24934

Ann joined the family team in September 2021 and is based in the Skipton office. She has worked in the legal field since 1987, when she began working for a large international firm in their London office. Ann attended the College of Law in Chester to complete the Legal Practice Course and, after returning south, subsequently qualified as a solicitor in 1997 whilst working for a medium sized practice based in the south east. Having been born in the north west, Ann returned to live in Lancashire in 2001 and has worked for a number of prominent local firms of solicitors before joining Walker Foster. Ann has a wide experience in dealing with all aspects of family law. She has been a member of the Law Society’s Advanced Family Law panel for a number of years and her specialisms are matrimonial finances and private law children matters. Ann endeavours to adopt a pragmatic and creative approach to problem solving around family law issues, always with an eye to the bigger picture and very much tailoring her advice to her client’s individual circumstances. No two cases are identical and Ann feels that it is important to listen carefully to each client’s objectives and to get to know them well during the course of their matter in order to deliver an outcome that suits the client and their family’s needs, both in the short and long term. She is empathic and a great listener but also practical and pro-active with decades of experience in working to find solutions and outcomes for clients who will invariably be at an emotionally vulnerable time in their lives. When not at work Ann enjoys music, the open air, allotment gardening, crafting and holidays by the sea.

Support and Confidence

When I went to Walk Foster, Ann Hallmark, I was pretty unsure and a little bit lost. However Ann handled my case professionally and empathetically, it gave me hope in a pretty dark time.
The case is still on going at this moment in time but judging by the level of competence and efficiency I hope to have a swift resolution to my situation.

Prompt, Professional, Clear.

Prompt, professional and clear with all options available giving enough time for me to make decisions based on the facts rather than my own emotions. Thanks for the support through a difficult time.

I would like to thank Ann and her team for all the work carried out. Especially towards the end when a lot of questions needed to be answered in a short period of time.

We engaged Ann Hallmark (Family Law) and David R. Barton (Property). Both are based in their Skipton Office.

Ann was recommended to me through a mutual friend and the service my partner and I received did not disappoint. Ann is responsive. diligent and cool-headed. Ann can explain the law in plain English, her advice is sound and personalised.

David R. Barton dealt with our property matters (trusts and conveyancing) and was extremely helpful, often putting up with a highly emotive series of transactions. We were in very safe hands.

We would highly recommend both Ann and David at Walker Foster.
