Sarah-Jane Whittaker

Solicitor

My friendly and empathetic nature is what attracted me to practising family law as I truly want to help people through the difficult periods in their lives. I focus on obtaining the best possible outcome for clients while ensuring that they feel heard and understood throughout. It is fundamental for clients to make informed decisions, understanding the benefits and risks of each route to be taken. This is the approach that I take in my advice as I want to ensure that my clients feel that they understand what could happen, and what is coming.

Each situation is entirely different, requiring tailored advice and different approaches. I aim to assist my clients in reaching an amicable resolution however, I provide realistic advice. I will not shy away from Court proceedings if they become proportionate and necessary for my client.
