Clear, personable and efficient

I sought advice after a matter had "fallen through the cracks" with a previous firm. Sharp Family Law were able to pick up the matter, explain clearly and concisely how it could be addressed and gave a, what proved to be, rather accurate estimate of costs. I was very happy with the service and communication throughout. I appreciated the comprehensive yet pragmatic approach taken and would highly recommend the firm if you find yourself with such a need.

The excellence of Hannah Abbott

From the first moments of our introductory telephone call, it was clear I had chosen the best company to act for me with my divorce, but more over, Hannah was clearly going to have my best interests at the forefront.
The process was explained simply, allowing me to understand exactly what to expect.
When my emotions ran high, they always will in such matters, calm and sensible advice was given by Hannah, giving me time to reflect and ultimatley make right decisions.
Thank you Hannah for directing me through such a difficult time.

Thoughtful, knowledgable and caring solicitor

My sister and I found Sharps Family Law for my mum as she does not speak English fluently. We had an initial meeting with Richard on the phone who explained the cost clearly to us and set us for a meeting with Laura. We had a great experience with her being my mum's solicitor. From the first time we met up with her to the final stages, Laura was caring, thoughtful and understanding. She made this difficult experience for my mum easier. It has made a huge difference having solicitors who were always happy to explain things to us, responded promptly and never pushed my mum to do anything she did not want to do. Laura was also very calm as well which was important in this process for us. We definitely recommend having Laura as your solicitor and using Sharps Family Law.

Divorce and separation

Laura has been assisting on my matters of divorce, financial settlement and childcare arrangements.
She has been professional, supportive and efficient.
Helping me to deal with matters that felt totally overwhelming at times in a way that allowed me to feel in control.
If you are in an unfortunate position to need family law advice then I would recommend Laura at sharp family law.

Got the job done

I used Sharp Family Law for a divorce. Overall I would say did a good job. Just be careful with email exchanges as one sentence responses will come at a cost. Also not every invoice came with a breakdown of what had been charged. This was OK upfront but when it got to the finer detail of working on the documentation etc. the breakdown would have been nice, as if I would have seen the amount I was being charged for emails I would have been more careful with the amount of back and forth.

I feel like it got to the point where every penny was being milked but I guess that's the way it works.

Would I recommend, probably, but now I know how it works I would reach out to other law firms to check their fee structure.

Initially from the start I was nervous about starting my process of my divorce,but Richard was extremely supportive and understanding .
Richard knew what steps to take me forward and with his knowledge and experience we got eventually to our outcome.
Richard and his team are the utmost professionals and I would most definitely recommend Richard Sharp Family Law to anyone that may be looking forward to changing their life.

Working with Richard

I am glad to say that getting divorced is something I shall only do once as I shall not remarry. Given that it has been a once in a lifetime experience, I feel blessed that I found Richard. Not understanding the intricacies of divorce or tax, Richard had my back and for that he was worth his weight in gold. He is thorough, professional and kind. Despite the sad nature of divorce, I actually enjoyed my conversations with Richard although I am relieved it is now all behind me. Thank you.

Richard Sharp and his team helped us to navigate a separation with sympathy and ease. I would thoroughly recommend the one solicitor approach to minimise the stress of what could be a thoroughly unpleasant experience.

I had a really good experience with Sharp Family Law. Richard dealt with my case in a professional and dedicated manner. I found the pragmatic realism really refreshing and this helped me to move on without resentment for, what could have been, a testing legal process. It is also noteworthy that my legal representatives had to, at times, correct the opposite side's legal team and walk them through the correct procedures for established legal processes! I would certainly recommend them.

I had the pleasure of having both Richard and Hannah handling my divorce. It was a daunting thought as you would expect but I was guided through the process with care. My case was handled professionally and with clear communication, with an outcome that Richard predicted. I would highly recommended Sharp Family Law.
