Best Financial Matters and Pension Sharing Solicitors in Yorkshire Dales

“After an incredibly difficult three-year divorce process, I have finally achieved a fair settlement, and I honestly do not believe I could have done it without Sara Rutter and Gillian Petty at Walker Foster Solicitors. From the very beginning, Sara was professional, calm, determined, and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Despite every challenge put in the way, Sara remained focused, strategic, and relentless in pushing the case forward. Thanks to her expertise, persistence, and support, my divorce has now been finalised & I have received a fair settlement. More importantly, she helped me stay grounded and confident during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I cannot recommend Sara Rutter, Gillian Petty and Walker Foster Solicitors highly enough to anyone facing complex or high-conflict family proceedings. Their professionalism, integrity, and dedication truly made all the difference.”

“Professional, good communication and knowledge. Not frightened to have difficult conversations but at same time listening to my needs. Met my expectations, she was professional but showed empathy at difficult times but stayed focused on resolutions and communicating clearly and in a timely manner.”

“Ms Nicola Merson was exceptional for me, I couldn't recommend her enough. I was kept well informed throughout. Nicola is efficient, understanding and extremely knowledgeable. ”

“I can’t recommend Nicki, Lynne, and the team at Jones Myers (York) highly enough. My divorce was complex and involved a family home, a business, and pensions, so it wasn’t a straightforward process by any stretch. From the outset, Lynne was absolutely brilliant incredibly responsive, calm, and reassuring. She made contact easy and always kept things moving, which really mattered during a stressful time. Nicki was outstanding. She clearly knows her stuff, explained everything in a way I could understand, and guided me through the process with confidence and clarity. At one point I made the (ill-advised!) decision to try and represent myself, which I quickly realised was a mistake. Nicki stepped in, untangled the situation, and quite literally saved me thousands. I’m genuinely grateful for that. What stood out most was how supported I felt throughout. This wasn’t just about legal knowledge it was about judgement, experience, and knowing when to push and when to steady things. I would 100% use Nicki and the Jones Myers team again… although I sincerely hope I never need to! If you’re facing a complex divorce and want someone you can trust in your corner, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Harrogate family law. They guided me through a 3 year divorce battle with efficient, knowledgeable, professionalism. They were brilliant at communicating with me and I always felt in safe hands. Special mention to Rebekah Maher whose perseverance, patience and quiet, kind professionalism got me through a very tough time.”

“A very prompt and succinct response to my initial enquiry. Sound and clear advice was provided by Katherine Swinn, who was very knowledgeable and adept at explaining quite complex legal processes in an easier to understand way. I highly recommend.”

“I am very pleased to have found Katie as my solicitor. From the start I found her very easy to talk to, she listened very attentively and I felt she thoroughly understood my situation without judgement. Her legal knowledge was excellent and she managed my expectations from the start, always providing me with a balanced view. Her experience also showed through her insight and other wider (not specifically legal) knowledge and advice. She was an excellent advocate for me in court - calm, confident and not flustered by challenges. She was also very good at being able to recommend the right barristers and other professionals when needed. Communication was always very fast, and if she wasn't available there was another member of the team who knew my case and was available to me. Overall I was very impressed by Katie's ability to keep things on track and focus on getting to a resolution - she diffused potential issues with her rational and amenable nature and pragmatic approach. She had many methods to avoid conflict and try to resolve things out of court, but she was also sensible and didn't use costs on avenues that were proving to be pointless. My overall impression of Hartlaw is that it is a big enough firm to have all the legal knowledge and experience needed, but small enough to feel as though they all know and care about their clients.”
