Discretionary Settlement

This took a long time to resolve due to unforeseen circumstances, these were resolved in a professional way by utilising external experts. Although it took longer than at first thought to reach a conclusion, I was kept very well informed throughout and was regularly involved in decision making to move the process forward. I feel that my opinion was valued and respected so that I was very involved in the process. The solicitors that I had most contact with, Cassandra and Marion, were both very professional, willing to discuss things, willing to listen, friendly and approachable. Thank you.

Family law experts and incredible service.

Absolutely incredible service from Ben, Marcella and of the team. I had a relatively complex case with a very difficult other side and they helped me stay through all of the issues within the family law sphere. I cannot possibly recommend them highly enough.

Dreadful company- treated like a second class citizen

I was going through a divorce and was pressurised by my estranged husband to use Shacklocks to deal with the sale of our house as he was using them for the divorce. I was not treated as an equal to my husband and not kept informed properly. I was treated very rudely by a senior male employee who was overseeing the work. When it came to the final bill, it was not until the money had already been subtracted from my half share of the proceeds of the sale of the house that I discovered that there were more expenses than I had been told about.

Administration of Wills and Probate

This review is for a different branch.

An absolutely first class service from first contact and through to completion. Support and advice throughout was exceptional. Follow-up and updates on a regular basis without asking. Entire process and engagement activities was simply but equally well-explained. Timeliness and efficiencies with equally first class on all matters with responses, on most occasions within hours, sometimes within minutes. Cannot begin to think of a better firm of or Solicitor matters relating to family bereavements and probate work at fair and affordable costs. The guidance and advice was just what was needed and with minimal burdens on myself. Thoroughly thoroughly recommend the use of Shacklocks for this type of work, without any hesitation whatsoever.

Excellent Service from Shacklocks LLP, Belper.

This review is for a different branch.

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.
