Sara Rutter

Tagged solicitor Sara Rutter

When I met Sara Rutter, I was in a complete mess with my divorce. Sara listened to everything my children and I had been through, talked me through the process and has been there for us every step of the way. My circumstances have not been the easiest and yet, Sara has acted professionally throughout and has achieved a positive outcome for my boys and I. I honestly can’t thank her enough. I would recommend Sara Rutter to anyone.

Beresford Kennedy

Tagged solicitor Beresford Kennedy

I had a very positive experience overall. My solicitor was extremely responsive, approachable and efficient throughout the process of counselling me on my prenuptial agreement. Communication was excellent, and I always felt that questions were dealt with promptly and clearly in most situations. Remarkably easy to understand and relatable. I would definitely recommend to friends.

Working with Heather was a very easy process and made a difficult life situation much more manageable over the many months that it extended. Heather listened carefully and made useful observations and very clear suggestions on the way to proceed.
