Two professionals can have the exact same qualifications — the same training, the same certifications — and yet be worlds apart in how they show up for their clients.

I’ve experienced both:
• Those who genuinely care, who lead with empathy, clarity and commitment, using their expertise to guide and support people through incredibly difficult moments.
• And those who seem to be just ticking boxes, detached and transactional.

The difference is profound — and it’s felt most during high-stress, emotionally vulnerable times like divorce or major life transitions.

That’s why I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to Ben S and Marcella at Shacklocks. You both went above and beyond for me during one of the hardest periods in my life. I’ll never forget how human, compassionate, and supportive you were. You didn’t just do the job — you made a meaningful difference.

In a profession that often focuses on competence alone, you brought care. And that made all the difference.

Thank you for helping me and my little boy during a very very difficult time!

My solicitor is Ben Stubbins - he's been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and has always provided insightful advice as we have navigated through my divorce. I can't recommend him highly enough!!

My experience with Ben Stubbins and his assistant Marcella Kilbane was excellent from start to finish. Ben was quickly able to cut through the enormous detail and suggest a sensible financial package to enable a clean break. Communication was very responsive in comparison to my ex husbands solicitor and Ben was able to see what was acheivable and fair to both parties. I am pleased this has led to an amicable end to our marriage particularly as we share two daughters. Marcella handled the settlement payment very efficiently. I am delighted to say I am for the first time mortgage free. Thank you both

Not expecting to be getting divorced at my time of life, I certainly needed a honest, friendly and efficient service to finalise my marriage and a fair financial outcome. This was achieved by my legal representatives.

Ben was a rock through out the whole process, he was understand and patient, as I was not the easiest of clients due to other personal issues.

Shacklocks provided me with the advice and representation that I needed, with outcomes which have made the lives of my children and myself infinitely better.

Both Ben and Marcella have represented me in some rather challenging times throughout my difficult divorce and their compassionate, professional approach was excellent throughout. At times I felt overwhelmed by my situation, but the support of this remarkable team ensured I found the determination to keep going. This has made a huge impact on the future of my family.

I could not have successfully navigated this divorce without them; I would wholeheartedly recommend Shacklocks to anyone requiring legal support.

Thanks a million!

This is the first time ever writing a review, but due to the importance of the subject I decided it is a good idea to leave one for others looking for solicitor. I was very lucky having Ben and Marcella working on my case. They were very professional, helping me getting through the most difficult year of my life. Every advice I received was spot on and the outcome was exactly what I was fighting for. I highly recommend Shacklocks LLP. (Father seeking 50/50 custody)

Jordanna was amazing, i felt very anxious about buying a new home as i hadn't done so in such a long time, Jordanna made me feel very calm and kept me updated at all times.

I would definitely recommend Shacklocks as a firm, very professional and understanding.
