Rucklidge Law Limited

Thank you for getting everything sorted out for me and for giving me the encouragement and confidence to carry on. It was a long slog but it’s all worked out well now. The girls are enjoying the garden and shopping for bedroom furniture and I have some space to work in at last!

I honestly cannot thank you enough Angela, you’ve been fantastic right from the start. The advice you gave from the beginning, right through to dealing with all the paperwork and the court filled me with confidence that not only clearly are you a brilliant solicitor but that everything would get sorted and I could move forward with life.

Angela provided a wonderful service, friendly and reassuring. Always ready to listen and give good advice, both on the phone or at the office, which was at a convenient location.

Angela helped with my partner's divorce and clean break, would highly recommend. Very helpful and nothing was ever too big of an ask.

Angela assisted me in a very complicated and difficult case that had been going on for over a decade before Angela started working on it. I was reluctant to go down the legal route and it was a great emotional hurdle for me to do this. I enlisted the help of Angela, following an excellent recommendation. Angela was a dream to have on my side. She was always very prompt, highly organised, professional and efficient. Angela’s written and oral communication was always so clear and she is a great balance of sensible, sensitive and sympathetic. Angela also enlisted the help of my barrister and together they were a dream team working smartly on my behalf.  I very much appreciated being flanked by an excellent legal team at a time when I felt very weak by the difficult circumstances. I am absolutely delighted with the result and that the matter has been concluded. The enormous relief I feel having that put behind me is tremendous. I am now enjoying my new beginning and new life. I’m truly grateful for all the legal help and the liberation I feel, as without it, I would still be bound and feeling trapped.

This review is for a different branch.

From my first conversation with Melanie Hartley to the last over 2-years later, she struck the perfect balance between giving clear, pragmatic and professional advice whilst also showing the kindness and compassion I needed as I went through the most stressful time of my life; going through a divorce whilst raising two young children. Melanie always provided legal advice with clarity, setting out my options (and the financial cost of these) in a way I could process, and was always happy to answer my many questions.

Communication via email was timely and detailed and, when needed, I was able to organise phone calls at a mutually convenient time around my busy work schedule and family life. Melanie worked on my divorce and financial separation, securing my Decree Absolute and court-approved Consent Order, and also provided me with advice on children matters as needed. She also guided me on when to seek external support and advice, such as mediation; her contacts and professional relationship with them made the process much smoother and gave me the reassurance that I was getting sound advice and support.

I cannot thank Melanie enough for all she has done; although of course I have paid for a legal service that I am very happy with, I think it is always the way we are treated as people that stays with us in life. I would highly recommend Melanie, and Rucklidge Law Limited, to anyone.
