Family Lawyer & Solicitors in East Yorkshire

Claire came highly recommended and I am happy to pass on the recommendation. She is professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She always provided clear advice, letting me know what my options were and the potential consequences of any decisions. Most importantly, during a difficult and stressful time, Claire was calm and rational when it was not always easy to be. She was always available, returning emails or calls promptly and was friendly and approachable throughout. If you need someone to provide legal advice due to a relationship breakdown, I can't recommend Claire highly enough.

Sharp, Swift, and Simply Brilliant!

When we talk about true representation, Claire Withers is the perfect example. Sharp. Prompt. Unshakably effective.

From the very first moment, Claire took charge with a level of confidence and precision that immediately made me feel protected, more than the entire force ever has, and she managed that in a single letter. Her ability to cut through the noise, handle complex situations, and get things done is nothing short of extraordinary.

Claire doesn’t just represent you; she empowers you. She combines professionalism with genuine care, and somehow manages to make you feel both supported and in control at the same time. I’ve never had so much trust in someone handling my case.

If you’re looking for someone who will fight your corner with relentless dedication, deliver results with surgical precision, and make you feel like your best interests are truly at the heart of everything she does, Claire is the one.

I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s not just a solicitor; she’s the kind of advocate you hope for but rarely find.

Thank you, Claire, for your speed, your sharpness, your guidance, and for restoring my faith in what excellent representation looks like. 

Ryan was incredibly welcoming and approachable in our first meeting, providing good advice and support in a very honest and professional way. I intend on using Ryan throughout the process due to his outstanding legal knowledge and his proactive approach.

Claire saved me!!
I was using a different Family Law firm during what turned out to be a very difficult divorce. I was in an absolute "stalemate" situation with neither party willing to move and no route forward to draw things to a sensible conclusion. Tensions were mounting and I felt truly stuck.
Then, someone recommended I contact Claire.
Following a thirty minute phone call (just thirty minutes!), we had a route forward. I was elated! After several months of feeling lost and like my life was "on hold" I now had direction.
Claire made sensible and productive suggestions (that none of the other involved lawyers (on both sides) had suggested), that resulted in a swift and calmer resolution to the entire matter. She made sure that everything was covered, leaving me feeling confident and reassured that the matter was being resolved fairly. She maintained excellent communication whilst representing me and kept me informed on all key dates and milestones until the matter was closed.
Claire truly saved me and I am indebted to her for her amazing service that allowed my life to move forward once more.

I was made to feel at ease and that everything was in hand. Ryan communicated with me very well, and as someone who has never spoken to a solicitor let alone anything else that was one of the most important things for me.

I highly recommend Claire as an exceptional family lawyer. Having collaborated with her for many years, it’s clear she has profound compassion and dedication to individuals navigating major life changes. Working for a firm of Independent Financial Advisers, I trust Claire implicitly and have no hesitation in referring clients to her. Beyond her professional acumen, Claire's down-to-earth and amiable nature makes her a joy to work with. 

SJ Divorce

From the moment I contacted Claire, she acted I a professional and friendly manner, guiding me through my options, including potential mediation.
During my initial consultation, it was clear from the outset that here was a solicitor who knows her stuff and could advise the best road forward for me.
Every time I contacted her forthwith, she acted in a timely and informative manner, giving me excellent advice.
I would thoroughly recommend her services for anyone in my position.
Thanks Claire!

So approachable and professional

Alicia was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was so approachable and understanding. On occasions I got upset because it was a very difficult time and Alicia was so kind but also very calm and practical, giving me time to digest information to enable me to make informed decisions. I cannot recommend Alicia enough. Thank you

Alicia is absolutely fantastic. She helped me immeasurably though one of the most difficult times in my life, making the whole process simple. easy and as stress-free as anything like this can be. She gave me consistently excellent advice, calmed me down when I needed it, and made sure I got the outcome I was hoping for. She's hands down the best lawyer I've ever dealt with and is a credit to her company.

Ryan has been an exceptional source of support. His guidance has empowered me to stand up for what I know is right for my child, and to find the strength to speak for myself in court against my abuser, something I never believed I could do. His support is consistent, responsive, and genuinely uplifting. Even over a very difficult Christmas period when the offices was closed, Ryan still responded to me. My confidence is now the highest it has ever been, and that is thanks to Ryan’s ongoing encouragement and belief in me. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan to anyone experiencing ongoing difficulties with child contact orders or who is a victim of domestic abuse.  

I am incredibly grateful to Alicia for providing me with the confidence and guidance to pursue my case. Her passion for her work is evident, and she genuinely cares about her clients. Alicia is highly professional, attentive, and reliable, consistently demonstrating efficiency and responsiveness throughout the process. Her expertise and commitment were invaluable, and I am deeply appreciative of the support she offered. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Alicia represented my husband for a 50/ 50 lives with court order for his two children. This had been a long and arduous situation over 4 years that finally went to court where we sort the skills of Alicia. We cant express enough how fantastic her professionalism, knowledge, skill and expertise helped us in this difficult case. My husband came away relieved and successful which he never thought possible before Alicia's representation. We highly recommend Alicia to anyone considering using her service. We have since returned to Alicia for other matters and the same excellent service has been received. We honestly can’t thank her enough.Fantastic from start to finish

Alica was fantastic from start to finish. She was extremely knowledgeable, explained the process clearly at every stage, and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Her proactive approach and determination to achieve the right outcome made a real difference throughout what could have been a very stressful process. I felt supported and in safe hands the whole way through. I would highly recommend Alica to anyone needing a family lawyer

Claire is a fantastic family lawyer. When you start this difficult process you need someone on your side that will listen and give you the best possible advice and this is Claire. Claire is excellent in dealing with children and financial issues. Claire will always make sure you are being realistic and will tell you when you 

Claire ensures that that the initial advice assists in establishing reasonable expectations. She is honest with clients about the strengths and weaknesses of their case – she does so with empathy but does now allow this to cloud her objectivity. The effect of this is that clients feel comfortable with her, can question, safe in the knowledge they will receive honest and objective answers.  She is not a lawyer who just tells clients what they want to hear – rather appreciating that this is not helpful and can be disastrous.

She also understands that an early, balanced, and realistic assessment of the case will help identify the issues early on and permit of efficient time management – thereby preventing an unnecessary escalation of cost.  My experience of working with Claire suggests that she ever mindful of costs and never loses sight of the fact that her client is paying for the process – their money should be spent wisely.

I have spoken to others who have been instructed by Claire.  We are all of the same mind – her instructions are some of the best we receive - clear, thorough but succinct. 

Claire and Alicia have supported me through the last 18 months of a messy and emotionally draining matter. I cannot recommend them highly enough; they have been brilliant. Both Claire and Alicia are very knowledgeable and respond quickly to any queries. They are approachable and reassuring. Throughout this entire process, I have felt that I had someone in my corner, and they quickly demonstrated a strong understanding of what to expect in the situation. In fact, they had a far better grasp of the behavior I was likely to encounter than I did. Now that the whole matter is concluded, I can honestly say I don’t know how I would have managed without their unwavering support. Thank you, Claire and Alicia, for everything you’ve done—I truly appreciate it.

I was extremely lucky to have Alicia representing me during my divorce proceedings. She was absolutely professional throughout, but more importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients and treats them with compassion and empathy at all times. During an extremely challenging time when its easy to become disillusioned and confused, Alicia has been a massive support. She has the ability to explain the complexities of a case in a sympathetic manner that is easy for the lay person to comprehend. She works with her clients and looks after their interests impeccably whist at the same time doing her best to keep their costs under control. If you have the opportunity to be represented by Alicia, you will be in safe and compassionate hands.

I can't thank Ryan Revell enough for the incredible support he gave me during a very difficult week in family court. With very little notice, Ryan stepped in and offered expert advice right when things were looking bleak. His calm and knowledgeable guidance gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to face the situation, and thanks to his support, the court outcome was far better than I had expected.

What truly stood out was Ryan’s genuine care. After court, he even followed up with me to check in and see how things went. That personal touch meant a lot—it didn’t feel like just another case to him, but something he genuinely wanted to help with.

I’m so grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and expertise. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone needing a solicitor who truly goes above and beyond.

Ryan was level-headed, professional, understanding and supportive. I had my first family court appearance with him today and it went very well. In the weeks coming up to this case, Ryan listened to my wants and guided me on how he felt mine and my family's needs should be presented to the judge. He was professional and eloquent and did a great job at explaining everything to myself and then to the judge on my behalf. I felt much better for having Ryan represent me in the courtroom, he did a fantastic job and the case couldn't have run any more smoothly.

I would 100% recommend Ryan for representation to anyone who needs to deal with these kind of cases in the future.

Outstanding

Where do I start, Alicia is an absolutely outstanding solicitor. She is proactive and efficient, helped me so much with my recent situation. I honestly could not thank Alicia enough for making everything so streamline and easy to understand. Thank you again and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
