Excellent Service from David at Walker Foster.

We are extremely grateful to Mr David Barton of Walker Foster, who made our sale go through without hiccup on our side whilst we had shenanigans from a buyers’ solicitor further down the chain. I’ve used Walker Foster many times as their attention to detail is second to none and they always have their clients’ needs as their primary concern. David is an excellent solicitor who is reassuring, calm and extremely knowledgeable.

Family Law

Got me through the worst time of my life.

After an incredibly difficult three-year divorce process, I have finally achieved a fair settlement, and I honestly do not believe I could have done it without Sara Rutter and Gillian Petty at Walker Foster Solicitors. From the very beginning, Sara was professional, calm, determined, and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Despite every challenge put in the way, Sara remained focused, strategic, and relentless in pushing the case forward. Thanks to her expertise, persistence, and support, my divorce has now been finalised & I have received a fair settlement. More importantly, she helped me stay grounded and confident during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I cannot recommend Sara Rutter, Gillian Petty and Walker Foster Solicitors highly enough to anyone facing complex or high-conflict family proceedings. Their professionalism, integrity, and dedication truly made all the difference.

Fast, Efficient and Clear

Mariette was highly recommended by my estate agent and assisted with my leasehold house sale - she made a complicated sale clear and gave practical advice along the way. It was a smooth journey from beginning to end, as fast as possible. Mariette is calm and efficient and I would recommend her as we all know moving house is stressful!

Mariette was recommended to me by my niece and helped me move from ‘offer accepted’ to completion date in just 12 weeks. At all stages, I was kept informed and actually managed to exchange contracts while I was out of the country. I have already recommended her to someone else!
