What clients say:
“Wonder Woman of the divorce world – I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. When I contacted her, I was totally lost and crushed in a difficult divorce. From day one, Sarah instantly made me feel like I wasn’t on my own. She is a strong and loyal divorce lawyer who always has your back. She really is the wonder woman of the divorce world.”
“If you are getting divorced you need Sarah. She has been an absolute blessing throughout my divorce. Any questions answered professionally and promptly and some added humour when I needed it. Sarah knows family law inside and out and I honestly don’t think I could have got through it without her.”
“Best Divorce Lawyer - Having Sarah as my lawyer has been like having a best friend at my side throughout my divorce. Sarah fought so hard to ensure that I exited my marriage with a generous settlement. I may have lost a husband, but I have gained so much more, not least a new friend in Sarah, a house, a pension, and independence. My divorce would have been an awful, ugly experience without Sarah.”
“Best Divorce Lawyer - The reviews do not do this absolute legend of a lawyer justice. From that very first call, I had absolute faith in Sarah to progress my divorce, get me a fair outcome and work within my budget. She achieved all of those things and so much more. Sarah is an amazing person. She totally understood my frustrations, my fears and my needs. It’s cliche, but she has been my absolute rock. My superhero. If you need a divorce lawyer, you need Sarah.”
“A shining star – Sarah is phenomenal. She is a brilliant, clever lawyer who is always 100 steps ahead of the rest. She is a kind, caring, compassionate person who always makes time for me. She has been in a shining star in very dark times.”
“Best Divorce Lawyer in the North – Sarah recently represented me in my divorce. Before this, I had used various “leading family lawyers”, all of whom were equally bad and caused me more stress than my ex-wife. From my very first contact with Sarah through to my last, she has provided phenomenal service. Efficient, knowledgeable, gutsy, tenacious and caring.”
“We have worked with a few solicitors over the years trying to resolve family issues concerning child arrangements, but none quite like Sarah Ward. Sarah is a fantastic, no-nonsense solicitor who is professional, courteous, and friendly. The service she has provided has been exceptional, and I would recommend her to anyone, especially those, such as us, who have struggled with proceedings for years without resolution. Her guidance and advice have been immeasurable.”
“Worth her weight in gold – Sarah can take on the most complex of matters and is not intimidated by the opposition. Sarah was absolutely stoic at a very difficult time for me. Aside from being a great lawyer, she is friendly and empathic. Wherever you are based in the country, I would recommend instructing Sarah. Keep up the good work, Sarah; you are a star and a credit to the profession.”
