Hayden Solicitors
Deborah and her wonderful team have helped me through the most difficult time of my life during my divorce which lasted over 2 years. They have been understanding, kind, personal and professional the entire time helping me deal with everything that came my way in a positive manner. I could not have dealt with my divorce without Deborah who was by my side throughout proceedings, explaining every detail and option available to me and helping me understand the choices I could make and their implications. I can’t recommend their services highly enough and I am very happy with the outcome!
Jo MorreyThank you Hayden Solicitors for the expert advice given over the past year! From my first meeting with Deborah I was instantly made to feel at ease and reassured. All the way I was kept up to date with news of changes, any face to face meetings being made to fit around my busy schedule. The professional support offered really did put me at ease. All costs and potential outcomes explained very clearly, fantastic service from a vastly knowledgeable team.

Outstanding!!
Open and honest from the start. Gave me superb support and always had time to explain everything or answer any questions. Extremely professional and could easily manage and assist me through my proceedings with an understanding of my needs as I suffer with mental health problems.
Amazing links to barrister so a full detailed service provided culminating in a successful outcome for me. I can't praise or thank you all enough!
Thanks to Sarah Dixon and the team for the exceptional service. Was not looking forward to dealing with my divorce but the staff made me feel they were in it with me and helped me both professionally and personally through a very difficult part in my life.
Karen NeildSarah's blend of experience and professionalism as a solicitor is exemplary. I have benefited immensely from her sagacious advice and help in establishing child contact with a successful outcome achieving shared care. I have engaged her services in dealing with my divorce, which I am confident will go through smoothly in her capable hands. Her integrity and ethical approach towards law is impeccable and refreshing. I am a busy GP living in Beverley in the North East of England. Despite the distance, I have found Sarah easily approachable and conscientious in returning calls and answering emails expediently. Pleasure to have her represent me. I cannot praise her professional services as a solicitor enough and would unreservedly recommend her firm to anybody needing legal advice and help, especially in sensitive issues like family law.

Sharp Cross & Mann Solicitors
I instructed Christine Sharp to act for me in some recent family matters relating to my children and also my finances. Without Christine's expert guidance, I would have been left completely stressed and clueless throughout the whole process but having her to help me through, to answer my questions and to represent me at various hearings enabled me to get through this difficult process without a lot stress. I was also very happy with the end result.
I cant recommend highly enough.

O'Donnell Solicitors
I recently used the Director of Family Law, Anthony Jones, from this firm of solicitors to represent me in a family law case in which I had no automatic rights. From the first meeting, he was very professional yet very friendly, putting me at ease immediately, both in general throughout the case and also in court. He completed all paperwork and documentation thoroughly, promptly and on time and was always honest with me, and very realistic. He fought hard on my behalf and sourced me a fantastic barrister and, between them, they secured me a brilliant outcome. I am confident that my outcome was due to the commitment from Anthony Jones (and the barrister he recommended) and feel that, had I used a different solicitor, my outcome would not have been so good. O'Donnells Solicitors is a caring firm who also put a lot into the community where they are based, and this was something i liked and respected about them very much. I would recommend Anthony Jones very highly indeed!

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?
