Darcy and Lucy were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process of finalising my divorce and financial settlement. Their guidance was clear, professional, and reassuring at every stage.

The Agreeable model — provided by the amazing team at Family Law Partners, was exactly what we needed. It turned what could have been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process into something calm, constructive, and respectful. Sarah and Kim were nothing short of exceptional. From the start, they brought not only professionalism and legal expertise, but also genuine empathy, warmth, and humanity. They made us feel supported, heard, and cared for throughout the entire journey. Their ability to guide us through both the legal and emotional aspects of divorce was truly outstanding. They didn’t just handle the process; they helped us handle the experience. Having one solicitor-mediator support both of us worked incredibly well. It kept communication open, reduced conflict, and helped ensure every decision was fair and focused on what mattered most, especially our children. The approach encouraged mutual respect and allowed us to move forward with dignity. Sarah and Kim went above and beyond. They made a painful time feel manageable and even hopeful at times. I am deeply grateful for their skill, kindness, and guidance. If you are looking for a less adversarial, more human way to approach separation, I can’t recommend the Agreeable experience and the Family Law Partners team highly enough. Sarah and Kim made a real and lasting difference.

Testimonial – Peter Ellis Over the past 25 years, I have instructed approximately 13–14 different matrimonial solicitors, including several prominent, London-based firms. Sadly, my experience with many of them was marked by a frustrating lack of care, professionalism, and, in some cases, outright ineptitude. Too often, I encountered what I can only describe as calculated, fee-generating practices that offered little value and even less empathy — a sentiment I know is echoed by many others in similar positions. It was on the recommendation of a trusted friend — who knew all too well my disillusionment with the legal profession — that I contacted Family Law Partners (UK) Ltd in Brighton. I initially hesitated, especially when asked to provide an extensive amount of personal information at the outset. However, with hindsight, I now see this as a logical and efficient step — a refreshing contrast to the endless back-and-forth that often serves little purpose beyond inflating bills. My principal contact, Lisa Burton-Durham, was a revelation. Pragmatic, realistic, and acutely cost-conscious, she focused not on prolonging the process, but on achieving a timely and sensible resolution with minimal stress. Her approach was intelligent and straightforward, marked by joint strategic planning and open consideration of all possible outcomes. This collaborative process not only saved time and money but also ensured a level of clarity and direction that had been sorely lacking in my previous dealings with other firms. In short, Family Law Partners delivered exactly what I had hoped for: a service that was transparent, fair, and grounded in both experience and understanding. I was charged reasonably for a result that met my expectations — something I genuinely doubt would have been possible without their involvement. I would urge anyone navigating the complexities of family law to exercise caution when choosing representation. In my experience, Family Law Partners (UK) Ltd stands apart — and I am grateful to have finally found a team that delivers on its promises. Peter Ellis

I used Family Law Partners for divorce and childcare proceedings which stretched over two years. Throughout that time I was updated with regards to any developments in a timely manner, with everything being fully explained. The advice I was given was always honest, frank and professional. My lawyer Rachel and Grace were compassionate and understanding, and Grace's presence at court was incredibly reassuring. This was an incredibly difficult time in my life; Rachel and Grace helped keep things focussed and displayed great compassion. They are not there for the money - they genuinely care about their clients.

An established firm, though my experience emphasised the value of clear communication and consistent client reassurance throughout the process.

Alice is an amazing lady who demonstrates how to do divorce well. She holds at the centre of her approach the focus on the family & navigating the best solution to allow life after the separation to be as amicable as possible which is vital for separating families. She support a close friend through a extremely tricky breakout & divorce, through using Alices services they now co-parent amicably; something that neither of them ever envisaged possible. Family Law Partners offer a wealth of knowledge & are certainly the people you want with you should you ever have to tackle this painful process. Highly recommend them.

I greatly appreciated Alice’s clear advice and guidance with my divorce. Thanks to her help throughout the divorce procedure, including the financial agreement, was concluded relatively painlessly. I highly recommend Alice Scambler as a divorce solicitor.

Alice is extremely friendly and approachable, and most importantly highly ethical. Her mediation services are essential for people going through tough and extremely sensitive and emotional breakups. Her natural character helps to provide the support and practical guidance needed to come to a conclusion that is in the best interest of all parties with minimum disruption.

I know Alice from a local business network and I have been so impressed by the results she gets families. For anyone on the verge of separation, especially those with kids, it's well worth a chat with Alice. She has great, practical advice and her mediation services mean that families where parents are splitting up come out in the best position for everyone. I've seen friends go through horrible divorces and I only wish I had known Alice to refer them on to at the time. They would have said tens of thousands in legal fees and come out in a much better position for everyone involved. High recommended.
