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.

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.

Calm, clear and decisive when that was needed most

Jack stepped in at a difficult time and made an enormous difference. He was clear, calm, responsive and pragmatic. He was always realistic in his advice. I’m very grateful for his support and would recommend him without hesitation.

We could not recommend Setfords highly enough. Kirsty and Matt were wonderful to deal with and also highly professional. They were both reassuring, always came back to us quickly whenever we had any questions and were very speedy to get all the searches done and paperwork drawn up. We couldn’t be happier with all of their help and hard work.

Very happy with the service Claire provided. Our chain was quite complex and she did what was needed to ensure the right people were talking to each other. We were confident in all advice given. She negotiated a completion date that suited us and everything went well and to time on completion day.
