Disappearing spouse.

I had a rather unusual case as my wife whom i had divorced some 26 years previously decided to disappear prior to the financial settlement being concluded. Sarah was recommended to me by a will writer i was using and she proved to be everything i was told about her beforehand. When my daughter needed legal help i had no hesitation in recommending Nicholls solicitors.

Marriage separation review

Nicholls solicitors were very thorough and I truly thought they were supporting me and on my side. Sarah was compassionate and understanding when offering her advice, often thinking of things that I hadn’t thought of.

The best there is

From beginning to end, the team at Nicholls exceeded every expectation I had—they truly were the best solicitors I could have hoped for. Their unwavering support, both personally and financially, helped me navigate THE most challenging periods of my life during my divorce. Every member of the team is exceptional. Thanks to their guidance and expertise, I came out the other side a stronger and happier woman and helped me feel confident enough to find the man of my dreams who support me and my children. Their communication was exceptional throughout the entire process—clear, timely, and always reassuring. I never once felt out of the loop or unsure of the next step. In particular, Sarah was a constant source of support and kindness. Her professionalism, empathy, and dedication left a lasting impact, and I’m grateful to now call her a friend. Even two years after the resolution of my divorce, we continue to keep in touch. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate, competent, and committed legal representation.

Having used Nicholls over a number of years for a variety of services, I find they have always offered an excellent professional yet personal service. They have always had the courtesy to keep me well informed throughout and with excellent advice - they are very client focused. I can thoroughly recommend giving them a call to discuss any legal matter you may have.
