Family Law

Got me through the worst time of my life.

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.

Divorce

Excellent service provided by Sara and Gillian. Both were very understanding and caring of what was a very difficult long drawn out divorce case coupled with loss of the family home, monetary wrangles, inheritance greed, child welfare and also the passing of both my parents during all of this. Sara was very knowledgeable and helped me to navigate through every obstacle thrown our way, resulting in getting a fair and successful outcome . I could not have done this without both Sara and Gillian and can only thank them again. John

I’m divorcing and needed legal help re the house transfer quickly. Laura Kingsberry in the Harrogate office was really helpful, both before I had instructed Walker Foster with advice re what to do, and once instructed. She handled the case with professionalism and was very calm and friendly responding to questions and calls quickly. I felt very confident in her abilities and found all staff helpful - when you call you can be answered in any of the branches and all were friendly and professional. I highly recommend Laura and Walker Foster.

100% recommend! I instructed Sara to support with my Family matter. Her and her assistant, Claire were kind, responsive and incredibly supportive throughout the process. Sara explained the law in lay terms & is incredibly knowledgeable. Her advice and guidance was invaluable in resolving my matter in a timely manner and as high pressured as the situation was at times, I always felt in good hands with Sara and her team. Thank you!

We engaged Ann Hallmark (Family Law) and David R. Barton (Property). Both are based in their Skipton Office. Ann was recommended to me through a mutual friend and the service my partner and I received did not disappoint. Ann is responsive. diligent and cool-headed. Ann can explain the law in plain English, her advice is sound and personalised. David R. Barton dealt with our property matters (trusts and conveyancing) and was extremely helpful, often putting up with a highly emotive series of transactions. We were in very safe hands. We would highly recommend both Ann and David at Walker Foster.
