Thank You
I got in touch with a few firms after the breakdown of my marriage regarding divorce and childcare arrangements. Sarah quickly called me back and I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and confidence in my particular case as I was feeling very hard done by with my situation regarding divorce settlement and current childcare arrangements/ maintenance payments.
There was a point where I felt we were at a stalemate with my ex and her solicitor, lots of back and forth without much progress - because of the advice I'd received, I felt confident to instruct Sarah to stop working the case because I wanted to keep my costs down. Sarah had no problem with this and made it clear that she was there if I needed her. I managed to come to an agreement about the divorce settlement so I got back in touch with Sarah and Hannah who got it over the line for me. I have the financial clean break from my ex wife, my daughter equal nights and significantly reduced maintenance payments. Thank you Hannah and Sarah.

Many thanks Sarah and hannah
I contacted Sarah on a recommendation from a friend .
From the intial phone call with Sarah I knew I was in good hands
She explained everything to me from how to apply for the divorce ,stages we needed to go through and estimated time frame
Throughout the difficult times Sarah and hannah (the dream team !!)were only an email away to put my mind at rest and deal with the situation as it arose.
They both worked so hard and tirelessly to make sure I achieved a fair outcome to my divorce settlement to which I will always be grateful.
Sarah and hannah thankyou so much.

What a pair of angels !
Divorce is never easy and normally by the time you get to the end of your marriage your tired of the fight to keep your marriage to start the fight for divorce. My first point of call was Hannah who gave me excellent advice and arranged a call with Sarah immediately; from that day forward every barrier that was put in my way I felt like I had Hannah and Sarah lifting me over. The stress and upset was absorbed by them and the were always honest and managed my expectations with just the right amount of tenacity. I has regular check in's from Hannah that were reassuring and I knew I always had someone on my side, she even listened to my rants and was a great confident - she was strong when I was not! They kept me informed of every step and when the divorce finally came through both were eager to tell me - even Hannah who had just given birth!
I couldn't recommend them enough and I can never thank them enough for their support and empathy during this time.

The best team you could ask for during a very difficult time.
Sarah and Hannah were amazing, not only did they use their endless amount of experience/knowledge to navigate me through my divorce and financial settlement, they always made it their priority to check on myself and the children first and foremost. Sara was also quick and efficient at getting the final part over the finish line when Sarah was away from work.
I can’t comment on the cost as I have never been in a situation where I have required a solicitor for this before, but I know that I would recommend them to anyone. Their empathetic approach whilst guiding you to the best outcome for your personal circumstances was second to none, because let’s be honest which woman is thinking straight during one of the most emotional and heartbreaking times of their lives! Thanks again ladies.

Dream team
Sarah and Hannah are a great team, they were always quick to respond and set realistic expectations.
Going through a divorce whilst supporting my children was one of the hardest times of my life. Sarah is very knowledgeable, experienced and empathetic, she always started a call by asking how myself and the children were. When I had no more fight left in me she was able to encourage me to dig deeper and when I wasn’t thinking clearly, able to help me look at the bigger picture. I would highly recommend them if you are going through a divorce as they really do have your best interests at heart. Thank you again.

The best team
After a previous divorce solicitor, i went to sarah after reading reviews. She lived up to the hype i read and together with hannah ralphs brought my divorce to a conclusion with more than i was expecting from being a man and reading how much we are at a disadvantage. Its refreshing to see this duos tenacity but they ended up being the best decision i have made. I could not rate them higher.
