We're frustrated and delighted by the same things as you. The perception that solicitors are distant and difficult only prevents the most vulnerable people from seeking help - and that injustice troubles me deeply.

Whether you're buying your first home, experiencing marital/parental difficulties or wish to ensure your family's security by drafting your first will, you will receive guidance, support and of course, industry-leading expertise. Thank you for considering us. ASK THE EXPERT: What is the Difference Between a Power of Attorney & a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Services
Get to know the team here at Best Solicitors and some of the people who will be working on your case. Committed to providing access to justice and bringing a personal, professional legal service to the people of Sheffield, Best Solicitors formed in 2001 - set-up by three like-minded solicitors: Donna Tilbrook, Vanessa Saxton and John Booth.
Our experienced family team are here to help you resolve family difficulties and disputes of all types. Legal Aid for family cases is available only in limited circumstances - restricted mainly to cases involving domestic abuse or where children are at risk. In many cases, such as divorce, change of name deeds and separation agreements, fixed fees are available.
Reaching an amicable resolution that suits all parties - without involving the courts - is our first recommendation. Following a relationship breakdown, understandably, your primary concern is the stability and wellbeing of your children. When parents are unable to reach an agreement about childcare, a Child Arrangements Order can be applied for - where the court decide where a child will live or who a child can spend time with and for how long.
If Social Services have informed you of court proceedings relating to the care of your child, we will act tirelessly on your behalf. As your chosen solicitor, we will prepare your case and present it to the judge - outlining your response to the evidence. Our team can advise on all aspects of care law: from the initial involvement of Social Services to court applications for care orders, supervision orders, adoption or any other related matter.
Sometimes, following a divorce/separation, parental or financial decisions are made by the couple involved rather of the courts. These negotiations, involving both parties' solicitors, are known as Collaborative Law and are intended to be non-confrontational. A key benefit of Collaborative Law is that both parties have more control over the outcome because they set the date, place and duration of each meeting.

I had a good experience with BEST during my recent house sale, they were organised and courteous. They were held up by the other side's solicitors numerous times but every action our side was done quickly. I think I got great value. I will let some of the quality and responsiveness aspects slide, due to the fact the other side were being difficult and also we passed through two stamp duty deadlines during this conveyancing process.

We had a fantastic experience with Best Solicitors Sheffield branch, Kerrie was fantastic she responded to our emails with no hesitation and when there were issues we needed chasing she was on to them like a flash. It was a pleasure working with her from start to finish whilst purchasing our first home.

Best have been amazing. The other parties solicitors made a few errors on my divorce which caused a delay, in the middle of a pandemic and I honestly can not fault BEST. Despite the missing post, no response to emails BEST did all they could to keep me informed, answer my questions and listen to what I was saying. We got there in the end. I would recommend them as they have been brilliant.

I have recently married and wanted to change my name hassle free. I thought I'd need to send my marriage certificate off to everyone, but having had a wonderful professional and very knowledgeable conversation with Deborah Bates, I realised this wasn't the only option. For a small amount of money, Deborah sorted certified change of name deeds incredibly easily. The correspondence between us was rapid and stress free. I can totally recommend this company and Deborah, and I will definitely be using them again. Thank you!

A friendly and accessible firm, recommended to us and now we are recommending Best Solicitors. They dealt with the sale of our property while we were and still are in lockdown in Crete. Easily contacted by email and telephone, nothing is too much trouble to explain and talk through details of the sale. Both Stephanie and Emma who were the face of Best Solicitors for us were the ‘best’, sorry for the pun. All I can say is look no further for a good solicitor - quick and efficient and a very professional team.
