Straightforward, clear advice

I was very taken with Emma’s direct, but reassuring, approach. She answered my questions frankly and ensured that I understood the situation and my options.
The practice itself is highly organised and efficient, whilst also being open and friendly.

Nie szukaj dalej - tu we wszystkim Ci pomoga sprawnie i profesjonalnie

Od poczatku spraw zwiazanych z podzialem majatku po dlugim malzenstwie korzystalem z uslug wylacznie tej firmy. Na pierwszym spotkaniu prawnik w calosci przewidzial koncowy rezultat. Na kazdym etapie postepowania bylem informowany o mozliwych dzialaniach ze wskazaniem najkorzystniejszych dla mnie i dzieki temu udalo sie wygrac z agresywnymi prawnikami drugiej strony. Profesjonalizm i doswiadczenie zawodowe Mr Mark Hussey sa nie do przecenienia. Byl moim prawnikiem przez 14 miesiecy i polecam go kazdemu kto potrzebuje pomocy w oferowanym przez firme zakresie. Pozostane mu wdzieczny na zawsze.

Catherine at Bellwethers was outstanding at guiding me through what I considered a very difficult situation.
Catherine worked extremely hard to get the ideal result for me, which was to get regular contact with my two children.
I cannot recommend Bellwethers and Catherine highly enough.
Many thanks!

Superb service. Highly recommend.


I can’t really express enough how thankful I am to Emma Kirkaldie-Clay at Bellwether Solicitors, for all of her hard work through my difficult divorce.

For six years, Emma guided and supported me through this often emotional and confusing process. Throughout this stressful time, Emma was professional, reliable and efficient and kept things running smoothly. When things became too difficult and emotional at times for me, Emma was kind and understanding and went above and beyond what was expected. I believe my strength to see this process through and receive the fair outcome I did, was down to Emma’s knowledge, tenacity and emotional support.

Emma kept me informed every step of the way and helped explain things clearly when I didn’t understand something or was confused - this even extended into other areas of the divorce and house sale.

I would highly recommend anyone going through a divorce to use Bellwether Solicitors.

Thank you so much, Emma.

Always there...

Choosing to divorce was a personally very daunting step to take, as is the case for millions of others, but Bellwether solicitor Katherine Hall inspired confidence from the outset. She analysed my situation very quickly and sensitively based on her many years of experience, so from our very first meeting I felt I was in good hands. She put things into perspective and normalised the situation, reassuring me of a fair outcome. Divorce comes in many guises but it is for most a once only experience and full of firsts. It is disarming as a professional in your own line of work to be put into a situation of opaque processes and jargon. You feel out of your depth and you just want it to end. So, it was so important to me to have a reliable, trustworthy guide who was supportive and professional throughout and I felt was always there for me.

I cannot thank Mark enough for this help and guidance during a very difficult time.
He was approachable and spoke in a way I could understand. He listened, helped and made suggestions where I needed and he was always available if I needed him.
I felt I really knew him and he totally understood my case. He offered help and advice on matters that I may need in the future.
I would recommend Bellwether Solicitors to anyone needing advice. They are friendly, knowledgeable and made my divorce easier. Excellent service!!!
Thank You

Absolutely amazing service and so compassionate and understanding (Ryan and Bev)

Where do we begin there is so much praise we could offer it would take forever !
Bellwethers are and excellent firm of Solicitors and we highly recommend them. We were so lucky to have come across Emma during what has been one of the most stressful periods of our lives. She is not only an expert in her field but one of the most compassionate, understanding people we have met. Speaking to her was like confiding in a friend.
Emma was contactable all of the time even out of office hours and her reassurance and advice was what got us through a very traumatic experience to the best result we could ever wish for. We truly believe it if wasn't for Emma we would not be where we are now and cannot thank her enough. Additionally the barrister recommended by Bellwethers was excellent and again without her we would not be where we are now. Emma thank you so much, whilst we hope we will not go through anything like this again we certainly know where we will come if we do.

I can’t thank Emma Kirkadlie enough for all her support and professionalism while I obtained a pension sharing order as part of my divorce settlement . My ex was extremely challenging to deal with and Emma was firm fair and professional in all her correspondences. I highly recommend Emma to act for any family law matters as her knowledge is extensive and she is very prompt in giving responses to all my communications. Thank you very much Emma

I cannot recommend Emma at Bellwether Solicitors highly enough. As the owner, she is a wealth of knowledge and brings an incredible level of expertise to every case. Beyond her legal acumen, she is genuinely personable, approachable, and always willing to assist, making what can often be stressful situations feel much more manageable.

What truly sets Emma apart is her ability to provide not just legal support, but also confidence and peace of mind. Knowing she has your back allows you to focus on other aspects of your life without worry. If you're looking for a solicitor who combines professionalism with genuine care, Emma is the one to turn to. Highly recommended!
