A Lifeline Through a Difficult Time
Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things I’ve had to face, but having Hannah and Richard as my solicitors made all the difference. They weren’t just professional and knowledgeable (which they absolutely are) — they were kind, patient, and truly supportive throughout the whole process.
They explained everything clearly, never made me feel rushed, and always had time for my questions, no matter how small. I felt like they genuinely cared about me and my situation, not just the paperwork.
What could have been overwhelming and scary became manageable because of their guidance. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone who needs a family law solicitor

Approachable and Efficient Solictor
I approached Sharp solicitors at a challenging time in my life, I was impressed by a quickly returned call from Richard. The completion of online forms was easy to follow, this meant by the time I met with Richard, he was able to focus on my issues. Richard was efficient and compassionate, and was able to outline my options and signpost me to other professionals.

Review for Sharp Family Law
I had the experience of working with Sharp Family Law during a divorce process where they acted for both parties in a neutral and collaborative capacity. From start to finish, their service was outstanding—efficient, fair, and deeply respectful of the emotional complexities involved.
They maintained clear, open communication throughout, ensuring that both of us felt heard, informed, and supported. Their ability to remain impartial while guiding us through legal requirements helped ease tension and build trust on both sides. We were able to reach a mutually agreeable settlement quickly and with minimal conflict, which I attribute largely to their professionalism and balanced approach.
I would highly Sharp Family Law to anyone seeking a fair, respectful, and efficient resolution in family law matters

One Couple, One Lawyer divorce process
Richard Sharp managed to walk us through the divorce process, efficiently and in a balanced way and we collectively managed to take our agreement and get it into a format that he was happy that the court would accept and approve. The agreement was approved, Richard made the process less painful, more collaborative and it was agreed in a timely fashion and was consequently less expensive.

Imminent divorce advice
Having contacted Richard and set up an initial consultation, I was given a little homework prior to the meeting which meant we could get straight down to business during the consultation. Richard was able to provide me with all information I needed and covered all eventualities. I left the consultation at ease which was one of my main objectives during the difficult process.
