Sarah Abbotts

Tagged solicitor Sarah Abbotts

I instructed Sarah Abbotts of Beswicks Legal to represent me during a very acrimonious divorce from my former husband. From the very first meeting, Sarah was kind, understanding, and incredibly supportive, and she took the time to guide me through each stage of the process in a way that made everything feel far less overwhelming. Throughout the case, Sarah was always professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out most was the genuine support she gave me during such a difficult time. At trial I secured a favourable outcome, and I do not believe I would have achieved the same result without Sarah representing me. Thank you, Sarah, you made an incredibly stressful and emotional period much easier to get through.

Philip Porter

Tagged solicitor Philip Porter

Philip Porter was excellent in navigating through a difficult divorce. He was wise, strategic, pragmatic, responsive and effective. Without Philip, the divorce would never have been concluded as quickly or fairly as it was. He was adept in minimising difficulties. He is a very safe, skilled and experienced pair of hand, and I highly recommend.

Bethan Tapper

Tagged solicitor Bethan Tapper

Bethan was invaluable when it came to guiding me through the complex procedures of divorce. Getting a financial order was essential and would have been extremely difficult without her help and support. I would recommend Bethan Tapper and Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice!
