Clarkes LLP

I cannot recommend Laura Tarbuck and her team Nicola Harper/Clarkes Solicitors highly enough. Laura supported me through a very difficult, tedious and challenging family litigation matter, and from the outset she was professional, compassionate, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. Family proceedings can feel overwhelming, but Laura took the time to explain the process clearly, set out my options in a practical way, and help me understand what to expect at each stage. What stood out most was Laura’s calm and balanced approach. She was sympathetic to the personal difficulties involved, while also being pragmatic and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Her advice was clear, realistic, and always delivered with care. I felt listened to, respected, and properly supported throughout the case. Communication was excellent. Laura was responsive, thorough, and made sure I understood the legal position before decisions had to be made. She handled matters with confidence and professionalism, which gave me a great deal of reassurance during a stressful time. Her knowledge and experience from prior cases helped put things into perspective for me, also. I am very grateful to Laura, Nicola and the team at Clarkes Solicitors for their help, guidance, and dedication. Their support made a real difference, and I would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone needing family law advice or representation.

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you and I wish you all the best for the future.

I firstly want to say a huge thank you to Katie for all she has done for myself and my family throughout the whole process of getting access back to my son. My journey has been very difficult for myself and Katie guided me from day one. From meeting Katie at our first initial meeting to getting a final order she has been sympathetic, structured, kind and given me guided advice on which way is best to proceed with each hurdle thats been encountered. I truly could not of succeeded without her support and hard work. I had moments of weakness where i thought i couldnt carry on emotionally as it was so overwhelming, but katie picked up me everytime and really nurtured me through the challenging times. She attended every court hearing with me to give me support and guidence. I will be forever grateful for all the hard work katie put into my case and gave me the outcome i wanted plus more than what i ever expected. Katie really does go above and beyond. Thank you again for everything.

Thank you for your kind review. It was a privilege to support you throughout this matter, and I am pleased that we were able to achieve a positive outcome for you. I appreciate the trust you placed in me during what I know was a challenging and emotional time. I wish you and your family every success and happiness for the future. Should you need any assistance in the future, I would be more than happy to help.

After being let down by a previous solicitor’s firm, I was facing an extremely difficult and stressful financial remedy case. From the moment Laura took over, she was friendly, attentive, caring, considerate and incredibly supportive. She immediately put me at ease and gave me confidence that I was finally in safe hands. Laura’s experience and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. My ex-husband was consistently antagonistic, non-compliant and obstructive, causing endless delays, frustration and upset. Laura handled every challenge professionally and strategically, always knowing exactly how to deal with the situation and keeping me focused on achieving the best outcome. What stood out most was the genuine care and compassion Laura showed during one of the most difficult periods of my life. At the same time as dealing with the court proceedings, I was also coping with serious health issues affecting my son and trying to secure my home. Laura provided reassurance, guidance and unwavering support whenever I needed it. I also greatly appreciated her transparency regarding costs. There were no unnecessary charges or surprises, and I always felt that I was receiving excellent value for the outstanding service provided. A special mention must also go to Nicola Harper, who was equally fantastic throughout. Together, Laura and Nicola provided the highest level of client care I could have imagined. They were responsive, professional, approachable and genuinely invested in helping me through an incredibly challenging situation. No question was ever too much trouble, and their communication and support were exceptional from start to finish. Even now, during the sale and purchase process following the court order, Laura has continued to support me as further issues have arisen due to my ex-husband’s obstructive behaviour. Once again, she has been reassuring, encouraging and proactive in helping to resolve matters. Laura, Nicola and the team at Clarkes Solicitors have gone above and beyond for me, and I am extremely grateful for everything they have done. They helped me navigate one of the most stressful periods of my life with professionalism, empathy and determination. I would recommend Laura Tarbuck without hesitation to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate and highly effective family solicitor. She truly cares about her clients and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Thank you, Laura and Nicola, for your exceptional support throughout my journey.

Thank you for your lovely review - it is much appreciated, and pleased with the outcome for you. Kind regards Lisa

Laura Tarbuck supported me through a divorce and financial settlement process which proved to be long and frustrating. She demonstrated an excellent understanding of my situation and always provided clear advice in a manner which I found kind and reassuring. Understandably, Laura was not always available to speak to me on the phone but she has excellent adminstrative support and so my concerns and any urgent matters could be managed efficiently and effectively.
