He made me completely comfortable, talked me through everything, always gave me great advice and there was no hidden costs.Mark genuinely cares about all of his clients and is so very down to earth.Thank you so much Mark.
I highly recommend Hazel and her team at Bellwether Solicitors. Throughout a complex and prolonged case, Hazel was consistently understanding, professional, and trustworthy. It was reassuring to have someone we could rely on—always responsive to emails and true to their word. They took the time to listen to concerns and thoroughly understand every detail of the situation. We couldn’t have asked for better support during such a challenging time.
Understanding, caring and highly recommended.After meeting Emma at Bellwether Solicitors for my initial consultation after taking the decision deciding to get divorced, I was certain that I had selected both the right firm and person to represent me. Emma listened and took on board all the potential issues with my case. Emma was happy to take on my case despite the challenges that had been identified. She understood what I wanted and took me through the process step by step and explained how we, (she), would deal with the issues as we went forward.If you need any family law advice then I highly recommend that you contact Emma Kirkaldie at Bellwether Solicitors first.
Thank you Emma, for applying the pressure as and when needed. You also gave me some good advice going forward which I take with me. I got to keep my property which was my priority. Also the order you prepared was very professional and this helped get it over the line.
I was lucky enough to have Hazel Johnson to guide and support me through my protracted divorce. Hazel was always professional and efficient but more importantly I felt in safe hands and she had my trust. Hazel's advice was always honest, balanced and pragmatic.I highly recommend Hazel and Bellwether.

Bellwether Solicitors have successfully helped me through my divorce. It was a difficult process to go through but I formed a great relationship with my solicitor Katherine Hall. In doing so, I felt supported all the way through it and had some very good guidance and advice. I recommend them wholeheartedly. Thank you to the whole team!
I worked on my divorce financial settlement case with Mark Hussey from Bellwether Solicitors. The case wasn't a straight forward one (i.e. required re-opening of previous case). Mark was very professional and thorough in his approach and guidance. Mark helped keep the legal costs in control and within my budget, which he gave me good guidance on approximate costs likely to incur. I really appreciate all the support from Bellwether team and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for family court matters.
Mark Hussey was recommended to me and has been extremely helpful and realistic. Exactly what’s needed!
Amazing experience working with you. Louise was extremely helpful and easy to work with.
I received prompt and excellent service from this company.
Louise at Bellwether Solicitors was absolutely superb. At a really anxious time, everything was explained fully and she was very understanding. I personally felt she made an effort, for a fair outcome in the settlement. Always replied to any phone calls or emails straight away and I was put at ease immediately. Great service.
Mark was incredibly kind, supportive, and professional at a very difficult time in my life. I could not recommend him more to anyone who needs assistance with family law.
I would like to thank Mark Hussey and his team, who have always been extremely professional and polite.I was kept up to date during the divorce process, and given advice and options when things stagnated.His good nature is unmatched, and the receptionists always very friendly and welcoming.Highly recommended during this complicated process.
Recently attended to sign a declaration of non delivery of a parking ticket. Quick, simple and cost £5. No appointment necessary. Would use again.
Very helpful stuff. Highly recommended them .
I would like to recommend Mr. Mark Hussey to everyone. You can believe it or not, but during our first meeting he correctly predicted the outcome of my case (division of property/assets in the case of a long marriage). During over 14 months of our cooperation, his professionalism and experience always encouraged me, even in moments of doubt about final success. From the very beginning, Mark consistently presented possible solutions to the situation at every stage of the proceedings and indicated the most advantageous ones, which is why we managed to overcome the strategies of the other side's aggressive lawyers. Finally, I would like to add that Mark requires honesty from the very beginning and timely delivery of documents. Mark, thank You very much for everything, I am sure that if it weren't for You, the outcome of my case would have been different.Radoslaw Wrobel

Excellent service and made the whole process a lot less stressful. Highly recommend.
I instructed Bellwether Solicitors two years ago with regard to my divorce and it has finally been finalised. Louise Pearce dealt with my case and was extremely professional, very understanding, and approachable, explaining the divorce and court procedures to me. It was not a straight forward case, and thankfully Louise was there through the whole process. Thank you Louise.
Very helpful
Katherine was brilliant to worth with. Better than other solicitors that I’d used previously. She very quickly got a handle on what my family issue was, how best to deal with it and explained everything. I would use Kathrine again without hesitation. My matter was concluded swiftly and I can now get on with life! Thank you Katherine.
Mark Hussey - I’m truly thankful for his help and support with what I thought was a stressful divorce. Marks service was excellent, always on the end of the phone to make a difficult situation easy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to others.
Mark has been absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend Mark to help you through this process. Thank you Mark for making me feel at ease, always keeping me updated, your professionalism, your knowledge and putting a smile on my face at a very difficult time 🙂
Emma was my solicitor for my divorce. Aside from the huge amount of compassion she showed, she was professional and so efficient. I had communication every step of the way and I found the whole awful experience so much easier because of all the help.I’ve also, a few times needed to ask for more help and advice and every time I call or email I’ve been helped so quickly.I am grateful beyond words for this firm and their help over the last few months/year.
I approached Emma of Bellwether Solictors for some advice. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Explained certain processes in a simple form and had a complete understanding of my situation and gave me all my options. I was then able to make an objective decision. Lovely manner both professional and made you feel at ease when speaking together. Quick to respond when I had a follow up question that slipped my mind in our first conversation. Very efficient. Would definitely recommend Bellwethers should you feel you may need a family law solicitor.Good service all round.
Emma handled my Divorce and was very patient with my questions and has always been forthcoming and helpful whenever I needed advice. Would not hesitate to recommend her services.
Mark Hussy was very empathetic and helpful with consultation about divorce proceedings. For a Solicitor fee was very reasonable and recommend highly.
After previously getting excellent advice from Emma I asked her to act for me in my divorce. I was impressed by her clear explanations on all the options and how to proceed. This included an upfront estimate of her charges. I always felt confident in knowing she would act in my best interests.When I recently asked her to act of me on another matter, she immediately advised this was unfortunately not in her field of expertise, but suggested an alternative solicitor.From my experience I would not hesitate to recommend her.
I cannot recommend Bellwether highly enough. In particular Emma. She took me through every step of a challenging divorce. As a direct result I received 50/50 custody of my 2 sons and kept the family home.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Mark Hussey and the team. Your service was outstanding, you were able to make a very difficult situation easy.I can't thank you enough for your speedy professional service.
Really helpful ladies. I called to meet them and they advised me and just made me aware of my options and put my mind at ease during the call. No pressure to meet them and told me me exactly what costs would be for fist consultation and what was needed and expected going forward. Very impressed and would definitely recommend.
I used Bellweather solicitors for a financial settlement after my divorce. Was really impressed and had every confidence in all the advice I was given and wish i had gone to them to deal with my divorce from the beginning. Would thoroughly recommend them.
Emma guided and led me through what could have been a potential minefield. Her expertise and calm demeanour ultimately led to what I can only describe as a superb outcome for myself, which was achieved in the most stress free manner possible. I strongly recommend.
I used Bellweather solicitors to get access to my son in a Difficult situation they done a very good job as I have access to my son now I would recommend them.
I cannot recommend highly enough Emma and her team at Bellwether Solicitors. I had the pleasure to deal with Louise who was understanding and compassionate but at the same time professional, sharp, fair and a great awareness of family values. Exceptional service.
I can’t really express enough how thankful I am to Emma Kirkaldie-Clay at Bellwether Solicitors, for all of her hard work through my difficult divorce.For six years, Emma guided and supported me through this often emotional and confusing process. Throughout this stressful time, Emma was professional, reliable and efficient and kept things running smoothly. When things became too difficult and emotional at times for me, Emma was kind and understanding, and went above and beyond what was expected. I believe my strength to see this process through and receive the fair outcomes I did were down to Emma’s knowledge, tenacity and emotional support.Emma kept me informed every step of the way and helped explain things clearly when I didn’t understand something or was confused - this even extended into other areas of my divorce and house sale.I wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma’s services again and would highly recommend anyone going through a divorce to use Bellwether Solicitors.Thank you so much, Emma.
Emma of Bellwether Solicitors dealt with my case in a very professional manner. I had many questions and she patiently explained all. I probably wasn't one of your better clients!Many thanks Emma for the excellent result which was better than expected. William
We recently contacted Emma at Bellwether Solicitors as we needed some advice regarding a child arrangement order. Emma was amazing and spent the time with us explaining everything in detail. She was very professional and always replied to our emails and messages. I would throughly recommend them. Thanks again Emma for helping us through a very difficult time.
Truly compassionate and understanding. I didn't have Emma and her team to guide me through my divorce (huge mistake) but having to obtain further advice in relation to a Consent Order I cannot recommend highly enough Bellwether Solicitors. Louise Pearce was knowledgeable, helpful and totally on point with helping me and my children through a very difficult time.
Emma has been extremely helpful and forthcoming in answering all my queries and ensuring I was given all the information on how to proceed with my Divorce and subsequently the Financial Remedy application. She was patient and navigated me through the whole process. I would not have any hesitation in recommending her services.
I approached Emma at Bellwether Solicitors as I needed help with a divorce and childcare arrangements order. Emma is a well-informed and very professional individual. My mind was always put at rest after speaking with her, as my ex would threaten me with all sorts. She is down to earth and very easy to talk to. She works very fast and got me exactly what I wanted at court. I highly recommend her and her practice.
I recently approached Bellwethers (2021/2) for advice on satisfying the terms of the consent order from my divorce In 2005. Katherine handled the negotiation with professionalism and used her considerable experience to navigate the somewhat tricky circumstances!She knew when to be patient and when not to be patient and achieved a very fair and pleasing outcome whilst staying within her financial forecast. We are very happy!
Very pleased how Bellwether Solicitors and in my case Mark Hussey sorted out my divorce. With zero experience in this matter he guided me patiently in a long process always answering my calls and responding promptly to my emails up to the end! I highly recommend their services and thank them for their hard work and professional support!
I went to Bellwether solicitors for help with my divorce i was quiet pleased with the service very friendly staff very dedicated. Thanks Emma for your help much appreciated.
Thank God for Emma. My guardian angel. I had used a solicitor based in London and was getting more and more concerned that I wasn't actually getting any real legal advice. I wasn't sure about the process and whether I was being taken advantage of by my now ex-husband. Until an old work colleague recommended Bellwether Solicitors and thank goodness I moved. She was patient and explained the whole process to me, what I could and couldn't ask for. Finally someone that I felt was on my side and had my back; they helped me navigate the legal divorce minefield in the hardest year of my life. She was strong when I couldn't be. My voice when I felt bullied/manipulated. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor and I can't recommend Emma and her colleagues enough.
Emma is a fantastic solicitor. Where some join the profession simply for the paycheque, Emma is clearly driven by her passion for helping people achieve the best possible outcome in what are usually unpleasant life hurdles. Emma helped my partner go through his divorce, and over the 2 years and 3 court hearings I was quite involved. Emma is diligent, practical, and organised as well as being kind and considerate of the emotional rollercoaster that is divorce. Emma was very professional in setting expectations from the start, however the outcome of the court cases was more than we could have ever hoped for. We are extremely grateful for her services, and ever so lucky we were able to work with her.
Emma was friendly, professional and efficient. I could always call or visit and she would see me. Emma and her team are trustworthy compassionate and efficient. I would highly them. Thank you so much Emma and team.
My guardian angel through one of the toughest times. Emma couldn't have been anymore friendly, professional and efficient. Even when she was super busy Emma and her team would always make the time to assist me. They are truly a brilliant, trustworthy company and I would highly recommend them, thank you so much for everything.
I used Bellweather solicitors to get access to my son in a Difficult situation they done a very good job as I have access to my son now I would recommend them.
Emma was recommended to me my a friend. From my first contact she was so understanding and helpful. My wife was looking to relocate with my 2 young children to Lancashire as well as take the majority of the finances. Through Emma's advice and counsel I have ended up with both 50% of the child custody, I can not recommend Emma and Bellweather highly enough.
I applied for my divorce with Emma at Bellwethers Solicitors. From the get-go, she was professional, understanding and trustworthy and consistently provided quality legal advice over the two year process. My ex-wife applied to go to court for both child custody and finances, with the aim of denying me access to my children. Emma was able to sensitively manage my expectations on the back of this, making sure I was aware of every possible outcome. Her in depth knowledge of correct processes and suitable approaches combined with her outstanding reputation in the family law space, is ultimately what led to me being granted shared custody of my three children and an equal division of assets.
I found Bellwether Solicitors to be supportive, professional and invaluable. Mark Hussey was fantastic at guiding me through what was an extremely daunting and difficult situation. He answered all my questions and gave me expert legal advice, which was always clear and honest. Mark also went out of his way to ensure costs were kept to a minimum which also allowed his service to be affordable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm to anyone who was in a similar situation to mine. It was overall a fantastic service. Thank you!
I used Bellwether's for my business. My assigned solicitor was Emma Kirkaldie-Clay. She was fantastic. Throughout the process it felt that I was her only client. Response times, quality of advice given, professionalism etc. etc. were all I could have hoped for. Perversely, I hope I NEVER use them again.
Emma was recommended to me by a friend and I consider myself fortunate to have had Emma represent me. Emma was excellent from start to finish, making the whole process bearable from what is obviously a naturally stressful period in anyone's life. Emma is very professional, hardworking and responsive but more importantly for me is that Emma is understanding, explains things in plain English and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend her to others without hesitation.
I was very pleased with the way Emma took time out to explain to me a very complicated process, I wish it didn't have to be, but it is what it is.Thanks again keep up the good works and give a shout to Shanice. 👍🏿👊🏿
I’m not one to generally write reviews but felt I had to, Considering my divorce was a very dramatic experience for me Emma was absolutely brilliant every step of the way, the most complex laws were explained in a very simple way. The end result of the divorce ended up very favourable to me.Thanks EmmaMichael Ryan

Emma was absolutely amazing. I would really recommend it the whole team.
Thank you so much for handling my divorce so well.
I just wanted to say thanks for all your help and hard work over the past year. I received brilliant service from you and all at Bellwether Solicitors. I’m very grateful.
Choosing to divorce was a personally very daunting step to take, as is the case for millions of others, but Bellwether solicitor Katherine Hall inspired confidence from the outset. She analysed my situation very quickly and sensitively based on her many years of experience, so from our very first meeting I felt I was in good hands. She put things into perspective and normalised the situation, reassuring me of a fair outcome. Divorce comes in many guises but it is for most a once only experience and full of firsts. It is disarming as a professional in your own line of work to be put into a situation of opaque processes and jargon. You feel out of your depth and you just want it to end. So, it was so important to me to have a reliable, trustworthy guide who was supportive and professional throughout and I felt was always there for me.
Bellwethers Solicitor were extremely helpful and professional in a review of my divorce settlement from 11 years ago, the guidance and advice i received from Katherine Hall culminated and in a revised final settlement to my satisfaction. I recommend this practice to all in need of divorce legal help
I cannot thank Mark enough for this help and guidance during a very difficult time.
He was approachable and spoke in a way I could understand. He listened, helped and made suggestions where I needed and he was always available if I needed him.
I felt I really knew him and he totally understood my case. He offered help and advice on matters that I may need in the future.
I would recommend Bellwether Solicitors to anyone needing advice. They are friendly, knowledgeable and made my divorce easier. Excellent service!!!
Thank You

Absolutely amazing service and so compassionate and understanding (Ryan and Bev)
Where do we begin there is so much praise we could offer it would take forever !
Bellwethers are and excellent firm of Solicitors and we highly recommend them. We were so lucky to have come across Emma during what has been one of the most stressful periods of our lives. She is not only an expert in her field but one of the most compassionate, understanding people we have met. Speaking to her was like confiding in a friend.
Emma was contactable all of the time even out of office hours and her reassurance and advice was what got us through a very traumatic experience to the best result we could ever wish for. We truly believe it if wasn’t for Emma we would not be where we are now and cannot thank her enough. Additionally the barrister recommended by Bellwethers was excellent and again without her we would not be where we are now. Emma thank you so much, whilst we hope we will not go through anything like this again we certainly know where we will come if we do.
I cannot thank Emma and the team at Bellwether Solicitors enough for their expert advice and guidance throughout the process.
In what was an extremely stressful time their updates where timely, accurate, and advise correct at all times.
They put in the work to ensure I received the outcome required.
My guardian angel through one of the toughest times. Emma couldn’t have been anymore friendly, professional and efficient. Even when she was super busy Emma and her team would always make the time to assist me. They are truly a brilliant, trustworthy company and I would highly recommend them, thank you so much for everything.
