Michelle is good at fine detail, is thorough in her approach and knows her stuff 100%. She advised on the best way to separate a complicated property business and put together a watertight case in court in conjunction with a superb barrister. Michelle sees a person, not just a number. Sandra was fantastic from day one.
She understood my situation straight away and acted very compassionately. Sandra was very easy to talk to and I found her very approachable, she explained every detail in simple terms and how it would affect my position. Sandra achieved a result I didn't think was even possible.

A team of professionals that guided and represented me well throughout my divorce proceedings. Whilst not a complex case, there were a few areas outside of the norm where I wanted protection - and they delivered against my requirements in a professional manner, achieved a fair result and often kept my anxiety and frustration in check. A true professional team that I would happily recommend.

Finding out I required a divorce lawyer was a low point and shock after 22 years of marriage. I was hugely grateful that people actually leave reviews. On the strength of one I selected Acclaimed Family Law and did not regret my decision. From my initial dealings with Leanne I had full confidence in my team for the fight ahead.
At a time when your heads not really in the game you can’t afford a bad decision. So I hope my review proves as helpful as the one which convinced me.

Sandra Russell is one of the Senior Executive Solicitors at Acclaimed Family Law. She was recommended by a friend and I am forever grateful for that. Initially, my divorce was meant to be clean cut and straightforward but unfortunately became decidedly more complex due to the emotional nature of my husband. Sandra dealt with this with such professionalism and I simply don't know what I would've done without her guidance. The divorce became quite difficult to navigate at times but the process was met with a great deal of patience by Sandra and her ever efficient, tactical procedures. Sandra managed

I found out about acclaimed family law after a family member recommended them when they helped with their divorce. Leanne and the rest of the team were very helpful at all stages of the divorce and offered realistic and accurate advice throughout. in addition the option to pay monthly for the divorce and financial clean break was something that appealed and meant that I could managed far better than a whole amount lump sum at the outset. Communication was always easy and prompt.

I was recommended Acclaimed Family Law by a good friend who said several friends had used them for a divorce from a difficult ex partner. From the first time I met Leanne, she made me feel in good hands. She showed me compassion whilst guiding me through the process, helping me during the moments of self doubt and patiently listening to some tearful phone calls! Even during a pandemic we've managed to sort out the divorce and clean break, using experience and common sense to get things sorted and deftly negotiating some of the barriers we experienced. Paying an amount a month also helped with the

Sandra listened to my situation and gave me sound and clear advice without trying to hurry me along. She also tried to understand the cultural difficulties I was in and advice accordingly. I felt reassured… after meeting Sandra because her advice was so strong and clear and it gave me the incentive to start proceedings without looking for another solicitor.

I cannot praise this company highly enough. From the moment I stepped through the door, in a state of shock when I found out my husband was cheating, to the moment when Decree Absolute was granted, I was fully supported. The team listen to you and explain everything clearly, they patiently answer all the silly little questions that pop up. They… are actually take interest in you as a person too. They kept me sane through my divorce, I didn't have to worry as they took care of everything and in a timely manner too. They got me a great settlement and now I can get on with my life without having
