Solicitor at Ward Gethin Archer Limited

Sarah Fairbrother

Solicitor - Director

SRA ID: 479622

As a director and Head of the Family Department Director, I am responsible for the family department. I am also responsible for the firm’s marketing. In my role as a Family Solicitor, I can help with all aspects of family law including divorce, civil partnership dissolution and the financial issues that follow a relationship breakdown. I specialise in issues regarding children such as child contact arrangements and residence disputes. I also advise on the preparation of cohabitation agreements, separation agreements, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and change of name deeds. I provide mediation for all family matters, including divorce, separation, finances and children issues. I love that we are a local firm with offices in market towns. Ward Gethin Archer are very involved in the local communities and attend many events from careers fairs to summer carnivals. It is great getting out and about and meeting local people throughout the year. I have also set up East Anglian Women in Business (EAWIB), sponsored by Ward Gethin Archer, which is a free monthly networking group with meetings held at several locations in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. EAWIB provides a platform for local business women to meet and share their knowledge and expertise.

I used WGA for the first time, and I cannot fault the high level of customer service and the quality of work provided.

Megan was a pleasure to meet and offered me advice and guidance with the process and explained in detail the steps required.

Highly recommend, Local and easy to contact.

As always an extremely professional, efficient, understanding and personable service provided by Sarah Fairbrother and her team. I have requested Sarah personally over many years to handle our family affairs and she has always gone above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for without question, the best family solicitor I’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with.

Members of staff were all polite, sympathetic and understanding, each step of the process just seemed to take such a long time and therefore costs totalled many times more than I could afford putting me now in substantial debt. I didn’t realise until nearly two years into divorce proceedings that I could have qualified for legal aid under domestic abuse clauses at which point changing and getting a new solicitor up to speed before upcoming court hearings would have negatively impacted my case.

I cannot recommend WHA highly enough. From what was a situation that no one expects to find themselves in, they guided me through every step of the process with professionalism and empathy. Sarah was always happy to reply to any questions, no matter how small, I had about the process. Without the help from all the staff at WGA I would not be in the good position I am in today.

I would like to thank Sarah Fairbrother and Kimberley Walkley for all their help when sorting out my finances ahead of my divorce. They were both amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.
