Wendy Ryle

Solicitor and mediator

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

am Wendy Ryle. I am a solicitor and have been qualified for over 30 years, for the greater part of which have specialised in family law matters. Sharon Blackstone and I worked together before Sharon established Blackstone Family Law LLP. Like Sharon, I am a member of Resolution and subscribe to its Code of Practice. I am a firm believer that family disputes should be approached in a non-confrontational manner, with ill-feeling and emotions being set aside whenever possible. In keeping with this approach, I am a collaborative lawyer and mediator. I am also a member of the Law Society’s Family Law Panel. At the heart of my work is my relationship with my clients: listening carefully to their problems and concerns, assessing the best way forward and discussing this and all options with them. I always wish to minimise the impact of their difficulties on my clients and their family, in both emotional and financial terms. For these reasons, it is to be hoped that an agreed solution can be found but where this is not possible, I have considerable experience in dealing with family cases through the Courts.

I felt in safe hands

My experience with Wendy dealing with sensitive personal matters, was eased by her professionalism, calmness and direct approach. She supported me through the most challenging time of my life and I could not recommend her enough. Thank you Wendy.

A Brilliant Service

I had the misfortune of going through a very difficult separation and painful divorce. The approach of my ex-wife was baffling to me and I was genuinely lost. Sadly, I became very ill. Wendy provided excellent advice and kept me focused on the important matters. She always listened to my views and adapted the responses to my ex-wife accordingly. I will always be grateful for the help she gave me and the manner in which she acted.

Thank you very much for your kind words which are much appreciated. It is regrettable that your case was the subject of court proceedings but at least an agreed resolution was found without the need for a contested final hearing. I know that you were in a difficult place for a period but you listened to advice and took a sensible approach to the issues. I am pleased to have helped you reach a fair outcome and that all is working out well for you now. I send you my best wishes for the future. Wendy.

Highly recommend

I cannot recommend Wendy highly enough, she sorted out the financial order for my divorce. As we all know , discussing money in an already emotive situation can make things volatile and cause confrontation but Wendy handled all of this impeccably. I found this whole process incredibly difficult and she was brilliant throughout. She explained all of the processes and options to me in a way that was clear and understandable. She was honestly brilliant and I am so grateful to her for sorting it all out for me.

Faultless guidance and support

Wendy was an absolute legend. Excellent, expert advice, genuine and honest appraisal of the overall situation and the many specific twists and turns among the way. Always responsive to my views but also always willing to share thoughts and guidance even where the law itself wasn’t particularly clear. It has been a rocky road and unfortunately we did end up in court, but only after we’d exhausted efforts to avoid that outcome. A fair result, which given where the other side started, is by itself a miracle. I cannot thank Wendy enough for being a rock in the middle of the perfect storm. And finally, efforts to keep costs down in a limited assets case but where it became essential for mine and my children’s financial security into the future to put up a fight, were very welcome.

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to work with you and I am pleased that we achieved a reasonable outcome - although this took much longer and was more difficult than I would have wished for you.
