I was at an all time low, with little hope of improving. Ruth Taylor helped me, and went above and beyond. That was several years ago, and my life has turned around since. Thank you so much Ruth, we'll never forget you. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to anyone in need of your services.

Ruth was recommended to me. Her professional and friendly manner was second to none. Ruth took her time to go through the whole process to make sure I understood where I stood with my situation. I was very thankful for Ruth's support and the continued support even after my situation had been dealt with. Ruth does not rush her time with you, she keeps in contact regularly I never once felt I had to be chasing. I will definitely use Ruth's service again if needed and would recommend to friends and family. Thanks again Ruth.

Ruth handled my divorce with professionalism and thoughtfulness. She is extremely thorough with excellent attention to detail and I would have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Expensive but she gets you a positive result. A friend of mine recommended her to me and did say she was pricey but good. I agree. I can't say the same about another family solicitor that I previously used

I wouldn't dream of going to anyone else for legal advice! Ms. Taylor is an excellent example of not only a solicitor, but more importantly, a human being.

Absolutely fantastic in every way, got the ball rolling for me the very first time we met and worked tirelessly for me throughout, would never consider anyone else now.

I first met Ruth as a Family Needs Fathers Meeting in Northampton where she came along to give advice and support on a voluntary basis. I found Ruth extremely approachable and sympathetic towards my case Ruth has supported me for over 2 years on and off as i represent myself in the family courts. However I went along to one of her free consultations and was welcomed, listened too without prejudice. Ruth will try her best to arrange representation to suit all budgets whether you want full representation or just help preparing your case ready to represent yourself. Ruth is more than just a solicitor and really goes that extra mile to help you.

The emotional turmoil I have experienced over the last 5 years has affected me in a way that I would never have felt possible, these feelings haven’t yet totally subsided but the calming effect since the very first time I spoke with your good self has very much overcome my sense of anguish, this has not just been noticed by me (in me feeling more "myself" than I have in far longer than I wish to recall!) but also by people around me including work colleagues but especially my close friend, who says she is so pleased as I seem to have far more optimism, my positive attitude to life has reappeared and I am not so "all over the place". Ruth as I am sure you are already well aware I say things as I see them, and where you are concerned I can only say how appreciative I am of the service I have received from you, it is refreshing and reassuring to find a Solicitor who offers such high standard of personal service with such professional competency.

As I have said knowing you are representing myself, the children and their interests has made an almighty difference to the turmoil I have endured over the last 4 years. Whatever the outcome, knowing how hard you have worked on our behalf to secure the children’s future is something I will personally remain eternally grateful to you for.
