Older woman, not a lot of money to share in the divorce
My divorce has been the darkest chapter of my life. I moved to Irwin Mitchell from another solicitor because I felt completely unsupported there. Sarah and Emily-Jo (from Irwin Mitchell) were there with me every step of the way. They make a great team. I really felt they were on my side. They were honest with me, flexible, really able to understand where I was coming from. They explained things to me in a way I could understand. To keep costs down, I acted as a Litigant in Person. But whenever I panicked because I didn't understand something, they were always there, calmly steering me in the right direction. Sarah's ability to write my proposal, after just a couple of meetings, was truly skilled. It was like she had lived my experience. My situation was not great from the outset. I am an older woman, and there wasn't a lot of money to share out in the divorce. But, with Sarah and Emily-Jo's support, I have, I believe, achieved pretty much the best outcome I could have done, under the circumstances. And feeling good about the process, that no stone had been unturned and that I got to tell my story, was very important for me, in my recovery, going forward. I highly recommend them.
