Thanks again for all your help.

Your kindness and patience really helped me as I couldn’t see a way I would have been able to get to the mediation without that help. I’m truly very grateful.

Thankyou Alison.

I really appreciate everything that you have done for me. I would not use anyone else and have really valued your advice and kindness. I will send my clients your way if anyone needs family advice, as I literally would not feel comfortable recommending anyone else after how invaluable you have been.

Fantastic professional advice.

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for your help throughout this process. You were such a warm and friendly person (I’ll be honest – not traits I had associated with solicitors!), at a time when I felt completely lost. When I think back to it now, I was an absolute mess in January when I walked through your door, and to be honest, scared out of my wits about what was going to happen with my husband and the house and I suppose my whole future. You put me at ease straight away and were so kind when I was upset and emotional. And of course you gave me fantastic professional advice and guidance when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing!

Highly recommended.

I can’t recommend Angela & Jill enough. I remember speaking to Jill in desperation feeling hopeless, trapped and bullied. They were not phased by my ex’s intimidating and unprofessional responses. Alongside my barrister, they helped me get more truth in 15 months than I’d had in 15 years of marriage. More importantly, they helped me get justice. They always answered emails in a timely manner. The fees were very reasonable. They helped me not only financially but emotionally every step of the way. They helped me get an extra £200,000.00 than I was offered. It was a fabulous result. The judge will always look at a person conduct and know who is the truthful one. When Karma needs a helping hand this is the team to ensure justice and fairness prevail. I now live happy and free and can enjoy the rest of my life thanks to them. They really specialise in cases which are awkward or where domestic abuse is involved. I cannot thank them enough. Elaine, happily divorced.

Fully satisfied.

Going through a divorce can be a very unstable, emotional and draining experience and not to mention an expensive one. Finding a good trusted solicitor who is not only well established and successful but someone who has their client’s best interest at heart is not an easy task. I initially started my divorce journey with another practice but found them taking advantage of my vulnerable situation and draining me of the little funds I had with zero progress, here I wasted 3-4 months. Rucklidge Law was a firm recommended to my dad through a friend and in particular Alison Gaddes. I decided very quickly to transfer my case over to Alison. Alison took on full ownership of my case from day one, she was very professional in her approach yet with a person touch which made me feel comfortable and confident in her work. I felt like she listened to me and understood my situation well, she was thorough with detail and communicated with me on a regular basis so that I was always aware of the progress or complications. Alison’s main aim was the same as mine and that is to achieve the best outcome for me.  I would highly recommend Alison Gaddes; she can be trusted to do a good job and will definitely work hard to get you an outcome of which you will be fully satisfied.

I would highly recommend her – in fact I already have!

Angela was responsive and understanding of my situation from the start. She provided advice on every step of the divorce process and was always quick to respond to my queries and move things forward. While I was disappointed with the outcome at an interim hearing for a non-molestation and occupation order, I think Angela did her best to help with an unexpected addition to the supposedly straightforward divorce that I had originally engaged her for, and I really felt for her and the way the judge talked down to, and even over her, during the telephone court hearing. After this, Angela continued to help me with finalising the divorce and financial arrangements, helping me to understand what I did and didn’t need to reveal in the paperwork. For a divorce, and especially for complicated financial issues.

Rebecca Baker was knowledgeable and supported me with a challenging family law situation. Her care is evident and she makes even complex things understandable. Rebecca followed up with information and contacts that could support me too. I would highly recommend Rebecca when it comes to family law.

Fantastic solicitors. I used Jill in 2018 for as the solicitor for my divorce, and when contacting her by email 6 years later for some copies of paperwork she replied on the same day and sent the paperwork out to me by post. Absolutely amazing service both then and now, and would highly recommend to anybody.

A super company to work with.
Friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable with the ability to make a horrible situation feel not quite so bad.
I had the pleasure of dealing with Gill And Angela who were lovely, caring and sympathetic.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rucklidges.
