Bretherton Law
I know this law firm cover many different areas which I would use if I ever needed them. I can never thank Sandra Bradley enough for her professionalism and hours of work over the past 6 months in what was a complex family case. Her support was incredible she was always honest and never gave false hope. I have every confidence in recommending this law firm and will go back to them if I ever need further help or advice. Thank you once again.
Dawn BrettSandra Bradley and team, assisted my partner and I through a very difficult time. They guided us through a very complex arena that was completely foreign to us with professional dedication and compassion throughout. I still have them on speed dial and would use Bretherton Law for all my legal needs in the future and have recommended to many family and friends already, who have also had a highly positive experience.
Richard SaundersHighly recommend Bretherton Law. Sandra helped my partner and I through a very sensitive family case. The team were all very efficient and helped us through a very difficult time.

Rayden Solicitors
I cannot recommend Raydens enough. Michael Radnor [in Katherine Rayden's team], who managed my case was incredibly helpful right from the start. He was a real pleasure to work with and his approach was extremely professional, thorough, fair and considerate. In addition to this, his sensitivity, compassion and care went a long way in supporting me through one of the most difficult periods in my life. I would certainly recommend them.
Kate DI highly recommend this firm. They are very knowledgeable, efficient and will get the job done without any delay. This is the second time that I have worked with them for my divorce and pension sharing order. I loved working with Julian and Lehna [in Katherine Rayden's team].
Rebecca EpsteinFirst class company and team. Beth and Priya [in Katherine Rayden's team], in particular, were exceptional when dealing with my case and their extremely professional, maticulous and personable approach gave me confidence throughout. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for your support and helping me reach a positive outcome.

Stowe Family Law
The service at Stowe family law was fantastic, Claire and the team responded promptly to any email or call. Superb and would not hesitate to use them again.
Steve HazellWhilst going through a very long winded and emotional divorce, I had to change law practices as the practice I started with did not represent me in the manner I expected. I changed to Stowe Family Law and James Scarborough [in Claire McParland's team] agreed to take my case on . James was extremely thorough, professional and easy to get along with. He always put my best interests first and managed to help me bring the whole process to a conclusion as swiftly as possible. I would thoroughly recommend both James and Stowe Family Law Practice. Thank you very much.
Sarah GlasgowI could not be happier with Stowe and in particular, the service, advice and support offered by Kai [in Claire McParland's team] during my child arrangements order application, which resulted in a better than expected outcome. There was never difficulty getting in touch, and along with Kai's professionalism and confidence, I felt reassured throughout.

Neves Solicitors
Very helpful professional service.
Dale LambertI recently bought a house in another part of the country, but I used Neves for the conveyancing because I have always found their service to be professional and efficient. This time was no different: I can honestly say that they made the whole process incredibly smooth and easy for me, despite the usual trials and tribulations of buying a property. I am no expert in legal matters, but my conveyancer was calm, patient, and pleased to explain everything to me in a crystal clear, plain English fashion.
All of my queries were dealt with in a professional, efficient, timely, and friendly manner. I would thoroughly recommend their services to anyone.

The Best Family Solicitors, Independently Listed
Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.
Trusted Reviews
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
Rising Star
Is the solicitor part of an established firm and they have quickly gained a reputation for being expert in their field? A highly skilled rising star who doesn’t yet command the highest fees, so making them very good value.
Depth of Team
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
