I cannot recommend enough..
I felt so supported and well informed by Sarah whilst going through a tricky divorce. I never doubted her advice or judgement and she never proved me wrong. Great communication at all times.

Thank you
When I first approached Myerson, I was at the start of my divorce with no clue about what to do. I was crying a lot and trying to cope with my cancer and being a carer for my son who has disabilities. I would phone Sarah Whitelegg a lot just because I was panicking and worrying about the divorce. She always gave me the time and space to tell her what my latest worry was and we would talk it through and I always came off the phone reassured, knowing Sarah had it all in hand. My divorce is finished now but Sarah also helped me find a pension advisor so that was one less thing for me to have to worry about as well.
I would recommend this practice as I felt they were always honest and transparent with me, and Sarah Whitelegg was very kind to me as well. Thank you :-)

Saved my sanity
Going through a divorce in a foreign country was scary and confusing. Thank goodness for Myersons and for Sarah Whitelegge. She helped me every step of the way both with the legal stuff and the stress it caused. She was always there when I had questions or worries or stress. Even got the ex to finally agree to a decent settlement after mediation failed miserably. I am indebted to Myersons and to Sarah. They have given me the ability to start my life over easier and the ability to happily move on with my future. I recommend them for any need you have but especially Sarah for a divorce. Thank you so much

We would highly recommend Myersons and Sarah Whitelegge. From the outset of our case Sarah has been very kind, informative and supportive. We were kept regularly updated at every step and if we had a query Sarah was very helpful in answering.

Family matters
Yes I would recommend Myersons solicitors... Our solicitor was Sarah Whitelegge, she showed empathy, kindness and support towards my granddaughter Danielle and myself during what was, an emotional and trying time.. She helped advise us and was forthright in her dealings when we were really struggling with the findings and tardiness of the Social Services. We also found her to be very professional when dealing with the solicitor of the opposing party...We felt that we could trust her to do all she could to obtain the outcome that we required... We also have praise for Miss Athis and Miss Deas who both worked hard for us on the court days... I would like to thank you all.

Divorce Settlement
I needed to conclude my protracted divorce and Sarah Whitelegge was assigned to assist me with matter. She advised me of timescales and costings, which I was happy with and the process concluded within a matter of just a few weeks. I was updated on a regular basis, even when I was abroad to advise me that the matter had been concluded, which I really appreciated.

Nullity of Marriage
I would recommend Myerson's to a friend or colleague as I found them to be very professional and they explained the whole process from the start and gave me options of the best plan of action. Sarah kept me updated at every stage of my matter.
In a very stressful situation I was reassured that my matter would be dealt with professionally and was given a timescale and approximate cost.
