Testimonials

"We can never thank you enough for the exceptional service and personal support that you provided to us"

"I have been a loyal client of Helen Holmes from Yarwood Holmes Law for 10 years now. Never have I had the privilege of being supported by such a true professional who has such passion dedication and determination for her clients. Her conduct is exemplary as are the whole team at Yarwood Holmes Law. I highly recommend the amazing set of professionals who are a true credit to their profession."

"Just wanted to thank you and Laura not sure I would be where I am right now without you two so a huge THANKYOU for everything. You were professional throughout and supportive at a time when I thought I was falling apart. Keep doing what you do because it's something really special!"

"Dear Cara. I really wanted to write to you to say thank you again. I know I’ve said it on the phone but felt compelled to write; the compassion, professionalism, patience and guidance you’ve given us over the last few days has been outstanding. I know when I called I was distressed but you calmed me immediately, listened and were the first person that understood the plight and anguish we were going through. I have absolutely no doubt my daughter got her son back so quickly with the information you gave us. You will never know how much your words gave me the strength to push through and persist to get the right outcome. Thank you really doesn’t cover enough the strength you gave us but please accept my upmost gratitude. You are the best! Kind regards."

"Hi Cara - thank you for being so professional and I can see you care about what you do. I've felt really cared for and you and your team has made this a lot less stressful. I thank you for that. I wish you and the girls all the best."

"I would like to express my sincere thanks to Yarwood Holmes Law for all their hard work throughout a difficult and challenging case. I have experienced nothing but professionalism and sheer support throughout. Every member of the team has been valuable. Many thanks to Rebecca Savage who went way beyond in answering emails out of hours etc, it says a lot about the individual and the company in my eyes. Keep up the excellent work and standards you are all amazing."

"I could write a thousand words to tell you what you mean to me but that wouldn’t be enough. I can never show you how much your support and kindness has meant. I wouldn’t be the person I am now had it not been for you. Huge thanks and much love."

"Dear Helen, I wanted to express my deepest heartfelt thanks for all your help and hard work on my case. You’ve totally changed our future and made it a happy one here in Newcastle which my family and I will be forever grateful and hold you in high regard. I feel so happy that we can close the door on that part of our lives and move on to better things and in your words, we can 'go live our lives' Forever grateful."

"To Helen, Thank you very much for all your help and support on my case! You and all of your staff have helped me through one of the most horrendous times of my life and I couldn’t have got through it without your patience, support, understanding and expertise. Thank you!"

"The team at Yarwood Holmes Law are amazing, they go above and beyond what is expected from a legal team. They offer not just legal advice but a great deal of emotional support. They have given me my life back, some self-respect and the chance for my family and I to have a happy future. It was the best decision I ever made picking up the phone a year ago and feel very lucky that Helen was on the other end. Helen is very assertive in court and makes sure your voice is heard. I think she would make a fantastic barrister. Cara Smith's statement writing is fantastic she has such an ability to put your life on a piece of paper still capturing the emotion but in a concise way. Her determination to get all the disclosure from Northumbria Police was amazing. There was no stopping Cara she just kept going back and back to them, even right up until a few days before the court case. They eventually found one of the incidents we had been asking them to search for. This obviously was essential to prove my case. Again, her emotional support and referral to women’s aid has made a huge difference to me. Laura was a great support at court and the choice of barrister was perfect. I got what I wanted at court and it’s all thanks to Helen and her team. I would highly recommend Yarwood Holmes Law to anyone going through family matters."

"It’s been a pleasure and you were everything I was recommended"

"I'm not sure how to thank you and your team enough for all your hard work and support over the last four years. All I can say is that you were all magnificent at all times, you really were."

"You've been an absolute star through this process and you've made this difficult journey much easier now this has been settled. You made me feel so at ease, extremely safe/protected whilst I had to deal with (my former partner) and I was well represented. I am forever grateful for you taking your time with this case and helping me to protect not only my little girl but my whole family too. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Cara."

"Thank you so much for helping us over these past 9 months.  Honestly, we have never been happier and watching our son tonight is amazing even though he hasn’t a clue what has happened.  The job you do is definitely the most important in the world, it means so much to everyone"

"I would like to take this opportunity, now that I have had the time to process, just what you have given to my daughter and grandson. The work and support that you gave to my daughter has been life changing for us as a family and as a mother and grandmother I feel blessed that you were able to achieve peace of mind and a sense of emotional well-being for C and E that they both so richly deserve. I appreciate your high level of professionalism was a key factor in outcomes achieved and you walked with honour, character and integrity throughout. Thank You."

"Thanks you all once again for all kindness and professional help this past couple of years."

"I was very impressed with Sarah Gray, everything was made very clear and she never minded answering any questions. Sarah was responsible, capable and helpful."

"Thank you very much for all the hard work you’ve done for my care. I believe it would’ve been very different without your involvement and you don’t know how much satisfaction you gave me to read my statements you prepared for my case!! It was a great pleasure to meet you, get to know you and I am lucky that such a respectable and knowledgeable person carried out the work for my case."

"I would like to thank you for dealing with my mother’s estate which consisted of quite a sense of tenseness by certain parties. You brought everyone together in the end. Thanks for keeping us all calm and getting everything done, yours sincerely."

"Thank you for everything. I couldn’t of got through the past year without you! Thanks again it was great to meet you."

"Thank you for all your support, everything you have done for me and my children."

"Helen, I wanted to say that I massively appreciate all the help, advice and support you’ve given me over the last 6 months. I can’t tell you how grateful I am and [I am aware] of the further stress, worry and upset I would have experienced if I hadn’t had you there to guide me through a very stressful time in my life. I know you probably don’t think much of it but I’ll never forget what you have done and will make sure ‘X’ knows that our relationship will be in part down to you and your help. Thank you again."

"I just wanted to formally thank you for putting my family back together! As you know, I used to attend Families Need Fathers meetings and it was there that someone recommended you personally. It was the best piece of advice I’ve ever had. From the outset, you demonstrated your commitment and dedication to my case and as we both know, it’s been a challenging journey! I had many different solicitors prior to working with you and you are without a doubt the very best. Your insight and perception, ability to know when ‘less is more’ and absolute grip on all things relating to my case, have quite literally left me in awe of your capabilities as a solicitor – so much so that I then recommended you to my colleague, who is now working with your firm. You always make yourself available outside of normal working hours, which is always appreciated and you’ve never charged any more than absolutely necessary. I’d also like to compliment your staff, they are a credit to you and always a pleasure to speak with on the phone. I know I’ve been rather fraught at times but as you know, my case has been a nightmare in so many ways. You exercised great patience and for that I am grateful! I’m sure our paths with cross again and there will be odds and ends relating to the divorce anyway. But please feel free to post my feedback wherever is appropriate. I only ask that you either make up a name or make it anonymous for obvious reasons! Thanks once again."

"To all staff at Yarwood Holmes Law, thank you for all your help and advice. You helped me through the most difficult time of my life and you gave me hope. Thanks once again"

"To Cara, thank you so much for everything. For all your advice, kindness and understanding throughout the most difficult time. I could not have done it without your support. I am grateful to you and everyone at Yarwood Holmes Law and feel so lucky I had people who really had myself and my sons best interests at heart. I honestly could never thank you all enough."

"On behalf of myself and my wife, we would like to thank you for the first class work by Sarah Gray re-writing our Wills.  We are really happy and would recommend your firm should friends or family require your services"
