Finacial settlement and dividing of assets

Sarah is the most supportive and professional solicitors you could ever wish for. She efficiently helped me to navigate through one of the most difficult periods in my life. When faced with a stream of letters, documents and court orders, and real fears about losing our family home, she was always there to support and coach me through the process. Her approach is personalised, ultra supportive and highly competent. I would highly recommend her.

Divorce and Family Law

Going through a divorce and arranging shared care for my children hasn't been easy. Sarah was always easy to talk to, approachable, and genuinely supportive. She was realistic, honest, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Her advice helped me understand my options, manage my expectations, and feel more confident during some very difficult times. I'm incredibly grateful for everything Sarah has done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate solicitor. Thank you again, Sarah, for all your hard work and support.

Outstanding Family Law Solicitors – Professional, Supportive and Effective

I cannot recommend Paul Lindsell of Setfords Solicitors highly enough. They supported me throughout a lengthy and often challenging divorce process over the past year, guiding me through every stage with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. From legal correspondence and mediation sessions to financial disclosure and court proceedings involving a barrister, I always felt fully supported and well advised. The team took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the process clearly, and provide honest, practical advice at every step. What impressed me most was their accessibility and transparency. My calls were always returned, my questions were answered promptly, and they managed my expectations realistically, ensuring I understood what to expect throughout the process. Their honest approach gave me confidence and helped reduce the stress and uncertainty that naturally comes with family law matters. Most importantly, I felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey. Setfords earned my complete trust through their professionalism, integrity, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. I trust Setfords implicitly and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking expert legal support during a divorce or family law matter.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Louise, Really pleased to hear that Paul was able to provide such professional and compassionate support throughout what sounds like a lengthy and challenging process. It's great to know that his accessibility and honest approach gave you such confidence and reassurance at every stage. Thank you for your wonderful feedback and recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Navigating a divorce is tough, but having the wrong legal representation can make it unbearable. My first solicitor was horrible, and the experience was defined by poor communication and a focus on billing. Then I found Sally Wood at Setfords in November 2022. The difference was night and day. Sally is a truly exceptional solicitor - professional, wise, and an expert in her field. She was a constant source of support and provided excellent advice throughout the long financial settlement process, which finally concluded in July 2025. She was always reachable and made what was a very stressful time so much more manageable. She treated my case with the care and attention it deserved, always providing wise counsel and practical solutions. Sally persevered through all the ups and downs, showing remarkable patience and skill. She didn't just go through the motions; she was genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. I can honestly say that finding Sally was a turning point. Her dedication, communication, and legal expertise are second to none. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone in need of a top-tier family law solicitor who truly cares about her clients.

I consider Deborah Sandford and Anne Thomas to be amongst the finest Family Lawyer I deal with. Friendly, approachable and transparent from the get-go. This coupled with the fact, that they both have a great eye for detail and a robust yet fair approach. I do not hesitate to recommend Setfords, Deborah or Anne to anyone needing family law advice.

Excellent Conveyancing Service – Highly Recommended.

I have used several different solicitors over the years for various property matters, and I can honestly say that Karisma Punjani has been the best I have dealt with so far. As a conveyancing solicitor, she has been extremely clear and thorough throughout the entire process, explaining everything in a way that is easy to understand and keeping me informed at every stage. What really stands out is how responsive she is, I never have to wait days for a reply, and she always gets back to me promptly. Her professionalism, attention to detail and excellent communication have made the conveyancing process smooth and stress-free. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karisma to anyone looking for a reliable and highly professional conveyancing solicitor.

Making the complex straight forward

Our solicitor was Sharon Galley and she was amazing from start to finish. Even when planning consent conditions from 12 years ago needed investigating and a deed of variation on a management company document needed to be arranged Sharon dealt with everything promptly. Thinking about communication, Sharon kept us up to date with the odd phone call and frequent emails so we were never left in doubt about what was happening. Thank you Sharon, you made what could have been a stressful move that bit easier.

Sonal was in a class of her own when it comes to conveyancing solicitors- she was very proactive, responsive and diligent in our transaction, leaving us feeling very reassured about the various complications of our property transaction. She also often went above and beyond in our very slow and questionable chain to keep things moving and helping to resolve issues. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you
