Testimonials:

“I write to express my appreciation of the excellent professional service that I received from Sylvia Haigh of Haigh Law. Having practised as a Solicitor for most of my life, I know the importance of good communication with clients and I was most impressed with Sylvia’s attention to this throughout my divorce. I really appreciated her sympathetic and excellent advice at this very difficult time in my life and in helping me to achieve a satisfactory conclusion.” – Mr L.

“Thank you for your support and dedication during this difficult period. You always responded promptly and the advice you gave was clear, even when dealing with complexities. Thanks to the collaborative approach you recommended, the process has resulted in a far more positive outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone else in this situation.” – Mr T.

“Sylvia Haigh was superb, she was very responsive to emails. She wasn’t pushy like other divorce solicitors and was very understanding of our individual situation, customising the service to what we needed. She was also very good at summarising at the end of emails which was very helpful.” – Mrs C.

“Sylvia was pragmatic and professional, and helped make a difficult situation as stress-free as possible. I would recommend her without reservation.” – Mrs L.

Sylvia has had the following endorsements in “The UK Legal 500” publication:

  • “Senior associate and collaborative lawyer Sylvia Haigh is also recommended for her advice to professionals on divorce and pre-marital agreements, and for her expertise on cohabitation matters” - 2019

Haigh Law understands that some clients prefer their lawyer to have full conduct of their case, whilst others choose to represent themselves and ask for advice as and when they need it. We will work with you to ensure that you obtain the level of service that is right for your particular circumstances as we are mindful of the fact that legal fees are a concern for all our clients.
