Sharp Family Law Limited

Richard Sharp managed to walk us through the divorce process, efficiently and in a balanced way and we collectively managed to take our agreement and get it into a format that he was happy that the court would accept and approve. The agreement was approved, Richard made the process less painful, more collaborative and it was agreed in a timely fashion and was consequently less expensive.

Having contacted Richard and set up an initial consultation, I was given a little homework prior to the meeting which meant we could get straight down to business during the consultation. Richard was able to provide me with all information I needed and covered all eventualities. I left the consultation at ease which was one of my main objectives during the difficult process.

Sarah was a fantastic advocate for me during my divorce. She worked extremely hard to push the process forward despite it being held up by the other party. She repeatedly protected my mental and emotional health during times at which my ex husband was being unpleasant. I genuinely don't think I could have seen the process through with a different solicitor. I'm really grateful for everything they've done for me.

I sought advice after a matter had "fallen through the cracks" with a previous firm. Sharp Family Law were able to pick up the matter, explain clearly and concisely how it could be addressed and gave a, what proved to be, rather accurate estimate of costs. I was very happy with the service and communication throughout. I appreciated the comprehensive yet pragmatic approach taken and would highly recommend the firm if you find yourself with such a need.

From the first moments of our introductory telephone call, it was clear I had chosen the best company to act for me with my divorce, but more over, Hannah was clearly going to have my best interests at the forefront.
The process was explained simply, allowing me to understand exactly what to expect.
When my emotions ran high, they always will in such matters, calm and sensible advice was given by Hannah, giving me time to reflect and ultimatley make right decisions.
Thank you Hannah for directing me through such a difficult time.

My sister and I found Sharps Family Law for my mum as she does not speak English fluently. We had an initial meeting with Richard on the phone who explained the cost clearly to us and set us for a meeting with Laura. We had a great experience with her being my mum's solicitor. From the first time we met up with her to the final stages, Laura was caring, thoughtful and understanding. She made this difficult experience for my mum easier. It has made a huge difference having solicitors who were always happy to explain things to us, responded promptly and never pushed my mum to do anything she did not want to do. Laura was also very calm as well which was important in this process for us. We definitely recommend having Laura as your solicitor and using Sharps Family Law.

I used Sharp Family Law for a divorce. Overall I would say did a good job. Just be careful with email exchanges as one sentence responses will come at a cost. Also not every invoice came with a breakdown of what had been charged. This was OK upfront but when it got to the finer detail of working on the documentation etc. the breakdown would have been nice, as if I would have seen the amount I was being charged for emails I would have been more careful with the amount of back and forth.

I feel like it got to the point where every penny was being milked but I guess that's the way it works.

Would I recommend, probably, but now I know how it works I would reach out to other law firms to check their fee structure.
