Walker Foster review

Anna was very tenacious in exploring options to get us to completion given challenging circumstances. I would have appreciated more regular updates earlier in proceedings as I felt that things drifted a little mainly due to the vendor’s solicitor changing and lack of proactiveness

Review for Sara Walker, Solicitor

I had the pleasure of working with Sara Walker and couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and dedication. She handled my case with clarity and precision, always keeping me informed and making sure I understood each step of the process. Her calm and confident approach gave me peace of mind throughout, and her attention to detail ensured everything was handled flawlessly. I highly recommend Sara to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal support.

We are delighted with the recent service we have received from Luca Angarano at Walker Foster Solicitors and all staff that have given time to our case. The level of service was professional, attentive and always with our best intentions at the heart of the care we received. Myself and my husband would thoroughly recommend Walker Foster for a litigation case (ours was a property case) without reservation. Our case wasn’t the easiest to navigate but with diligence and attention to detail, Luca managed to create a positive and successful outcome for us.

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!
