What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Brighton, Family Law Partners has built a reputation among clients navigating divorce and financial disputes at the family court, with several reviewers describing the firm as a source of steady support during difficult periods. Hannah Gumbrill-Ward is named repeatedly for her professionalism, empathy and clear communication, with clients noting that she kept them fully informed and offered realistic advice at every stage. Robert Williams appears in multiple accounts for his knowledge and compassionate handling of complex domestic matters, while Lisa is remembered for robust representation that moved a stalled financial case to settlement.

A detail many reviews return to is the firm's responsiveness: prompt replies, thorough preparation before meetings and explanations of the process as it unfolded. Reviewers also mention the child-centred approach taken in sensitive matters, the patience shown when clients felt like giving up, and the reassurance provided throughout proceedings. The detailed invoicing system is singled out as helpful for keeping track of costs. Hannah's work alongside paralegal Beth and colleagues Harriet Gibson and Gemma Garrett is described with gratitude for the care and personal attention received, particularly during exceptionally stressful financial remedy proceedings.

I dealt with Deniz who showed nominal interest in my case. He went on holiday without telling me. I phone the company but no one was able to help in his absence. What should have been a quick sake took 6 months despite my asking Deniz what was happening he had answers I do not recommend this company based on my experience.

We were recommended Family Law Partners by a family friend, who is a High Court judge. Hannah Gumbrill-Ward was wonderful and brought calm to a most chaotic time. She was fair, realistic and professional. She had real empathy with our situation and we felt protected by her and that she fought hard on our behalf. Family Law Partners are who you want on your side in what is potentially going to be the worst time of your life. Thank you, Hannah (and Robert) for your help.

Hannah, with her paralegal Beth, guided me through my divorce. I was impressed from the outset when, prior to meeting Hannah, much detail was gathered to enable the meeting to be focussed. Hannah always replied promptly & made suggestions & explained the process throughout. I also liked the accounting system where everything is detailed on the invoices. I would highly recommend Family Law Partners. There’s a certain level of stress during a divorce & I was appreciative that Hannah’s efficiency reduced this for me.

Robert Williams and his team at Family Law Partners have been nothing but professional, pro active and patient. I felt very reassured in Roberts hands and I am very happy with the final outcome. I highly recommend Robert and his firm.

I highly recommend Hannah and her team at Family Law Partners, they have supported me through a very unique and stressful financial dispute resolution process at the family court. Hannah was very responsive, compassionate and always realistic with her advice and my expectations. With Hannah’s support I always felt heard and was provided with excellent advice on the way forward. My opinion was always considered and it really felt like a team effort to get the best outcome possible, which ultimately we achieved this month. Ahead of the FDR hearing, I was paired with excellent counsel, on the day of the hearing, whilst incredibly challenging Hannah and my Barrister provided the best advice and diligently worked with the other party to enable a resolution to finalise matters. Having considered doing this alone, it was the best decision to instruct Hannah and her team. She enabled a conclusion where just a few months ago it felt totally out of reach. Thank you Hannah, Sophie and Nico.

I cannot recommend Hannah Gumbrill-Ward of Family Law Partners highly enough. From our very first conversation, Hannah displayed a rare combination of professionalism, empathy, and razor-sharp legal insight. Navigating a divorce is never going to be easy, but with Hannah I felt informed, empowered, and consistently supported through every step of the process. Hannah’s attention to detail, strategic thinking, and calm, clear communication were invaluable. She listened without judgment, advised with precision, and always had my best interests at heart. Her ability to cut through the complexity and focus on pragmatic solutions was remarkable—and often the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling in control. Equally worthy of praise is Robert Williams, Founding Director at Family Law Partners, whose insight and support throughout were simply exceptional. Robert brought a level of perspective and wisdom that added tremendous value, both legally and personally. His guidance behind the scenes was instrumental in shaping a fair and forward-looking outcome. Together, Hannah and Robert make an outstanding team. Their collaborative approach, deep understanding of family law, and genuine compassion transformed what could have been a painful experience into one of clarity, resolution, and hope for the future. I will always be grateful. If you're looking for expert legal advice delivered with humanity and integrity, look no further than Hannah Gumbrill-Ward and the team at Family Law Partners.

Robert and Hannah at Family Law have been incredible throughout an arduous divorce process. The support, care and advice they have given me is second to none, even when I felt like giving up. Huge thanks again for achieving such a positive outcome. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
