HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?
- Market
Leaders
We have been doing it longer and better than anyone else. Our industry awards speak for themselves and our settlement rate is currently 85%.
- It's All
We Do
Before we came along, joint legal advice didn’t exist. We pioneered it and it’s all we do: focussing on what’s fair for you both. This isn’t an optional extra for us, we never act for one side.
- Purely Fixed
Fee
We understand you need to budget so we are purely fixed fee, agreed before you commit. Not everyone does this.
- 2 Heads
Better Than 1
Our unique process always includes both solicitor and barrister expertise, giving you the best of both worlds for one fixed fee.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“The service provided by The Divorce Surgery has been excellent. The whole divorce process, particularly the division of our finances, has been made as stress-free as possible as a direct result of the way The Divorce Surgery functions. [bg_collapse view=”link-inline” color=”#fff” inline_css=”text-align:center; font-weight:bold;” expand_text=”Show More” collapse_text=”Show Less” ] It has meant that the relationship between myself and my husband has remained amicable, we both feel like we have a fair deal and we can continue to co-parent effectively as a result. I believe that this would have been a different story had we continued with two separate solicitors. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Divorce Surgery to anyone in need of this service.”

From one of our couples
“Simply put, excellent… our barrister had clearly given our case a lot of thought, care, and consideration. She was patient with me when I was getting emotional, she was kind, and she is obviously a complete master of her profession. [bg_collapse view=”link-inline” color=”#fff” inline_css=”text-align:center; font-weight:bold;” expand_text=”Show More” collapse_text=”Show Less” ] She gave us time to discuss things and I didn’t feel rushed at any point despite the fact that we went over the planned amount of time. She dealt with us in a sensitive and kind manner which is really appreciated. “
