Great Seevice
I have been involved in a long drawn out divorce since May 2021 and chose Leanne Barton to represent me. I can honestly say she is a first class solicitor and her knowledge has been invaluable to me. To say it has been a testing divorce is an understatement and Leanne’s calmness and communication skills have been first class throughout and would have no hesitation in recommending her moving forward. Thank you Leanne.

Eleanor Allison
Absolutely fantastic! Leanne gave me the reassurance and legal advice I needed going through one of the trickiest times of my life! I have no idea how I would have managed without her consistent, empathetic approach and knowledge. She gave me the strength I needed to stand up for myself!
I would use them again in a heartbeat!!

Divorce and clean break
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 costs and I always received regular correspondences and updates. I would recommend Acclaimed Family Law to anyone in my situation.

divorce
I was recommended Acclaimed Family Law by family member that had been through the divorce process themselves. Leanne was very helpful though the entire process of the divorce and offered sound and realistic advice about the outcome and how the entire process should go. communication was always very efficient and if I had any questions I felt comfortable in contacting the team. The option to pay monthly also made this firm the most appealing option as monthly installments was the best financial option for me at the time.
