Wholeheartedly recommended

Shacklocks provided me with the advice and representation that I needed, with outcomes which have made the lives of my children and myself infinitely better.

Both Ben and Marcella have represented me in some rather challenging times throughout my difficult divorce and their compassionate, professional approach was excellent throughout. At times I felt overwhelmed by my situation, but the support of this remarkable team ensured I found the determination to keep going. This has made a huge impact on the future of my family.

I could not have successfully navigated this divorce without them; I would wholeheartedly recommend Shacklocks to anyone requiring legal support.

Thanks a million!

Excellent Service from Shacklocks LLP, Belper.

Going though a divorce is an incredibly stressful experience, but was made much less so by the professional, supportive team at Shacklocks LLP in Belper.
I felt valued and understood throughout the process. Communication was always clear and timely and all advice was measured and sensible. There were no surprises when it came to costs, as the team were realistic in their quotations and billing was accurate.
I highly recommend Ben, Marcella and team to anyone looking for advice on divorce - I felt that I was in safe hands, which is exactly what I needed.

Friendly, professional, efficient.

I had recently moved to Belper and needed a fairly simple will drafted, so emailed several local solicitors; Cassandra's reply was the most comprehensive and gave me all the information I required to choose a solicitor.
Cassandra was very easy to deal with, talked me through a couple of queries I had and raised a few issues that I hadn't even considered; she obviously has a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area of the law.
It was all very straight forward.

Divorce

I had already googled for recommendations and came across Shacklocks with some good reviews. Needless to say I was not disappointed, my case handled by Ben Stubbins and his team.
Clear from the outset what to expect from the process and kept informed along the way.
Responses to queries were timely and often direct contact from Ben himself.
Would definitely recommend

Matrimonial Finances

Going through a matrimonial finances dispute at my age ( retired) has put an enormous emotional pressure on me BUT I employed the services of Ben Stubbins to act on my behalf and I have to say it was the best decision I have made in a long time. Right from the start he made me feel confident that things would work out for me and they did. When I felt like I would end up with nothing ,he reassured me that it wouldn’t be the case. He listened to my ramblings and always cleared my head of inconsequential rubbish. There was never a time when I couldn’t speak to someone with Marcella ably
stepping in when Ben wasn’t available. Finally the dispute has ended ; my pension is in tact and I have kept my dignity and integrity. Jo Flanagan should be commended for her professionalism and humour with dealing with everything I seem to ask if her; I’m really grateful for that.

Ben Stubbins and his legal team

After 30+ years of a controlling and stressful marriage I separated and then applied for divorce . I was so scared and stressed going forward with it, someone suggested Shacklocks LLP to me so I proceeded …. After a long time coming and with support from the whole team they investigated , interrogated and succeeded in getting everything I was legally owed from my now ex husband. I never in a million years did I think I was going to be awarded by the judge so much money and very large percentage of his pensions, I was so shocked and extremely happy… Ben and his team was so compassionate sympathetic and empathetic to all my mental health needs,stress, the loss of my recent partner came as a shock to us all but the whole team got me through it…… I do not hesitate to recommend Shacklocks LLP to you for you legal needs what ever they may be….. For the best results or largest pay outs that you are legally owed then they are your solicitors and investment advisors I have no doubt…….. I will be going back to Shacklocks to help me and advise me the best way to invest my ex husbands payout once I receive it ………..

In what has been a difficult situation, Ben was able to walk me through the process at each stage.

Ben was very knowable, professional and provided sound, honest advice when needed.

I really appreciate the service he provided and would highly recommend.
