So helpful

Sandra was great. She picked up my case after being dropped by my previous solicitors and did the job well. Communication was great and I could always contact her about anything and get a reply. Supported me and my family throughout. So grateful for all the hard work Sandra did on my behalf.

During a challenging divorce situation Sandra was patient when information wasn't always flowing at the desired rate. She was always available to advise and responded in a timely fashion when the time came for questions from myself. At each stage of this long process I felt I was receiving expert advice and achieved the best outcome in my circumstances.

Great Seevice

I have been involved in a long drawn out divorce since May 2021 and chose Leanne Barton to represent me. I can honestly say she is a first class solicitor and her knowledge has been invaluable to me. To say it has been a testing divorce is an understatement and Leanne’s calmness and communication skills have been first class throughout and would have no hesitation in recommending her moving forward. Thank you Leanne.

Thank you Sandra for all your help, I honestly would have been lost and in a mess without your expert help and representation, you have been professional, patient and thoughtful throughout this difficult process, I can’t thank you enough.

Highly Recommend Peter Dadswell

I chose Acclaimed Family Law to represent me in child contact proceedings after I split from my ex-wife. They are a local firm and specialise in family law matters. Initially I had a complimentary face to face consultation with Mr Peter Dadswell. A highly experienced and rehearsed solicitor that attentively listened to my needs and guided me through a very difficult period in my life. He kindly highlighted approximate costs involved and a time frame for proceedings. He was always available at short notice for telephone discussion as needed and helped me put emotions to one side and think rationally at times. Thank you Peter!

I had Peter Dadswell highly recommended by a close friend who used Peter for her divorce. From our very first conversation he was reassuring and promised to keep costs down and act swiftly. All of this was absolutely true. His knowledge, professionalism and above all, his actual warmth and humanity won my trust from the out. What could have been an awful long drawn out and costly process, was dealt with incredibly swiftly, at low cost and with care and consideration. His team are also wonderful, everyone I dealt with in the firm went above and beyond. I would absolutely highly recommend him and his team.

Sanjeve and Lucy kept us updated at all times. Buying and selling was so straight forward with them and we completed within 7 weeks. I would recommend this solicitor to anyone who is buying or selling. Well done both of you.

Sills & Betteridge in Lincoln was one of those recommended by the Estate Agent. They do pay a fee to the Estate Agent for these recommendations, which they were up front about (although not mentioned by the Estate Agent!). The people I dealt with were always helpful and I never felt that the sale was held up by them, so I have no regrets about using them.
