Client Testimonials & Reviews

"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."

"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."

"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."
