Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 introduces no‑fault divorce for England and Wales. It means a marriage or civil partnership can end without proving fault, focusing on the couple’s decision to separate and their arrangements for children and finances. A solicitor helps you apply for dissolution, whether jointly or disputed, and guides you through steps from petition to final order, including notifying the other party, completing forms, and liaising with the court. The process is shaped by the need to secure a fair financial settlement and orderly parenting arrangements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act fixes important steps and deadlines that affect a client’s position, such as the move from petition to decree nisi and then to the final order, with emphasis on timely, orderly resolution. A solicitor provides guidance on filing, documentary disclosure, and ensuring the court considers sensitive matters like children and financial settlements within the lawful framework and deadlines.

Ellena PyeFay Rothery

Tagged solicitors Ellena Pye and Fay Rothery

Fay Rothery, Charlotte Hirst and the SFL team have been absolutely superb. They gave me expert advice at all stages of my divorce and guided me through the process with accuracy. This made things very simple for me as a client. I was assisted with questions that I had succinctly, as I am, as many, not familiar with some legal terms and their implications. Any enquiries that I had, were swiftly and delicately responded to. SFL made me feel in control and satisfied with the decisions that I made, which is always difficult when going through this process. A very professional service and positive experience. Could not recommend highly enough!

Rachel Jane McGrath

Tagged solicitor Rachel Jane McGrath

Rachel is top notch. She came recommended in the first place which says a lot, but I personally found her to be professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and efficient in all responses and actions. Divorce is a tricky and stressful path - if you want someone who explains things, doesn't patronise you, boldly represents you and gets things done without delay, go to RJS Law.

Mark Hood

Tagged solicitor Mark Hood

This review is to thank Pardoes for their recent services - initial informative sympathetic enquiry call with Taffy , thank you, and subsequent expert handling of my case with Mark Hood. Whilst not particularly complex, I found my divorce challenging and difficult for me. From the outset, Mark ensured that I understood every step clearly and concisely, explaining what to expect, including the expected costs, so there were no hidden surprises. Ever patient and listening to my concerns, Mark was always an email or call away with his prompt responses and reassuring replies. Mark was also sympathetic and supportive, conscious of my welfare throughout, which was invaluable to the end. Even simple things like easy car parking, friendly reception and offered coffees smoothed each visit to the office. So yes, ultimately the required outcome for me and on my experience, I can recommend Pardoes professional and caring services. Most grateful appreciation to Mark for his expertise and unwavering kindness throughout- thank you.

Katrina Whyard

Tagged solicitor Katrina Whyard

Katrina was (and is) fantastic. She came highly recommended from my mortgage broker – I can see why, now – and did wonders. I had quite a tight deadline for a divorce-mandated transfer of property and remortgage, for quite a complex little right-to-manage flat in London, and she was thorough, persistent and highly communicative throughout. She pulled out all the stops and couldn’t have been more helpful and collaborative. I got a much better service than I ever expected and would recommend Katrina unreservedly!

Sarah Lewis acted for us on the sale of our property. Professional approach in a frustrating process with unnecessary delays caused by our buyers solicitors. Good legal knowledge providing sensible advice. I found the team extremely courteous and keen to assist, particularly the support team (Wendy and Marie).

Syed Naqvi

Tagged solicitor Syed Naqvi

I genuinely don’t have enough words to express how incredible Mr Syed Naqvi has been throughout my case. From the very beginning, he was everything you could hope for in a lawyer — deeply professional, kind, and always present. He was responsive at every stage, no matter how small the question or how late the hour, and made me feel like I was never going through this alone. What truly sets him apart is the way he approaches his work — with heart, with care, and with absolute commitment. He didn’t just represent me; he stood with me. Every step felt thought through, every decision made with integrity and compassion. And the barrister he chose, was just as extraordinary. Sharp, articulate, and fiercely protective — but also deeply understanding and warm. I’ve never felt so safe in such a vulnerable process.I could feel how much they both cared, how much they poured into the case, and how determined they were to make sure I was treated fairly and with dignity. I truly felt like I had the very best people by my side — not just legally, but as human beings. I will never forget what they did for me. I’ll carry their kindness and strength with me always.
