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.

Leah Knight

Tagged solicitor Leah Knight

My husband and I are citizens of the United States. We needed the services of a firm that would specialize in family law because we were being denied reasonable access to our grandchild who lives in the U.K with her parents. There had been a breakdown in communication between the adults over a money matter and and the parents of our grandchild were keeping us from having regular visits; most of them being through Skype because of the geographic distance between us. We tried in vain for several months to work this out with the parents directilhy but they were determined to keep our contact with our grandchild to the bare minimum and we were devastated by this because we love our grandchild beyond measure. We began to interview family law firms when we realized we were going to have to have help to resolve the matter. After speaking with a couple of firms we were feeling a bit discouraged until we found Fiona Bruce Solicitors. To say the were a send to us would be an understatement. Throughout the whole process they were professional, understanding and compassionate. Our case was handled expertly by Solicitor Leah Knight. We were well aware that in the U.K. grandparents rights are not held in the same regard as they are in the United States and so we were unsure that we would even have our case heard by the court. However, Ms. Knight helped us forge ahead with thoughtful representation at every turn. She guided us through the process and always made us feel comfortable; explaining matters, answering our many questions and, at times she did some hand holding (even if it was over Skype). It was difficult and painful for us to bring our matter to court but we knew we had to do this in order to have our visiting and communication restored with our grandchild, who is at a very tender young age. Ms. Knight never waivered in her representation for us. She honored our time and was always prompt in her responses to our questions. She knew how difficult this was for us but she gave us the confidence to keep moving forward. We got through the process and were elated when the court ruled in our favor. Afterwards we said to ourselves, "If this is the kind of representation Leah Knight gives grandparents from the United States, imagine how she and her firm would be working for clients within the U.K.!" We will be forever grateful to Ms. Knight- and to the whole team at Fiona Bruce and we recommend them to anyone seeking counsel in a matter of family law.

Laura Tarbuck

Tagged solicitor Laura Tarbuck

After being let down by a previous solicitor’s firm, I was facing an extremely difficult and stressful financial remedy case. From the moment Laura took over, she was friendly, attentive, caring, considerate and incredibly supportive. She immediately put me at ease and gave me confidence that I was finally in safe hands. Laura’s experience and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. My ex-husband was consistently antagonistic, non-compliant and obstructive, causing endless delays, frustration and upset. Laura handled every challenge professionally and strategically, always knowing exactly how to deal with the situation and keeping me focused on achieving the best outcome. What stood out most was the genuine care and compassion Laura showed during one of the most difficult periods of my life. At the same time as dealing with the court proceedings, I was also coping with serious health issues affecting my son and trying to secure my home. Laura provided reassurance, guidance and unwavering support whenever I needed it. I also greatly appreciated her transparency regarding costs. There were no unnecessary charges or surprises, and I always felt that I was receiving excellent value for the outstanding service provided. A special mention must also go to Nicola Harper, who was equally fantastic throughout. Together, Laura and Nicola provided the highest level of client care I could have imagined. They were responsive, professional, approachable and genuinely invested in helping me through an incredibly challenging situation. No question was ever too much trouble, and their communication and support were exceptional from start to finish. Even now, during the sale and purchase process following the court order, Laura has continued to support me as further issues have arisen due to my ex-husband’s obstructive behaviour. Once again, she has been reassuring, encouraging and proactive in helping to resolve matters. Laura, Nicola and the team at Clarkes Solicitors have gone above and beyond for me, and I am extremely grateful for everything they have done. They helped me navigate one of the most stressful periods of my life with professionalism, empathy and determination. I would recommend Laura Tarbuck without hesitation to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate and highly effective family solicitor. She truly cares about her clients and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Thank you, Laura and Nicola, for your exceptional support throughout my journey.
