Testimonials

“This has been one of the most horrible years of my life, and going through a divorce is not something I would wish on anyone. But if you do have to go through it, it makes a huge difference knowing that you have a supportive lawyer to work with and that was definitely my experience of working with Sarah Gill. What really stood out for me was how well Sarah listened and heard me...She was also excellent at explaining the key background areas of law I needed to understand as I went into mediation. More than anything, Sarah’s way of working felt like a genuine partnership. I know this might sound cheesy, but it truly felt like she had my back. That support meant I could make informed decisions about my future during an incredibly difficult time. I honestly cannot thank you enough, Sarah, for all your help. I would highly recommend reaching out to her if you are looking for a solicitor who is supportive, compassionate, and highly responsive.”

“Sarah Gill gave me great, clear, concise advice on a complicated matter.”
Mr Palmer
“Sarah Gill represented me in an unpleasant and complex family court proceedings. Sarah was excellent at clearly explaining and managing the case from start to finish. She worked efficiently and with a minimum of fuss to organise the case. The proceedings went as smoothly as they could and Sarah was able to cut through the confusion to deliver a satisfactory outcome. Family law is incredibly stressful and with experience of representing myself initially things can go very wrong very quickly even if things appear incredibly clear cut. Having representation that you can trust to get things right is essential in such a fickle arena.”
