What our clients and the industry say about us

Getting divorced is easier to entrust to a service you can see working for others like you. Here’s what our clients, and the wider legal industry, have said about The Divorce Surgery.

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. 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. 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.

From one of our couples

We enjoyed the session and meeting our advising barrister. He was balanced, even-handed and clear.

What the industry says

The Divorce Surgery is a striking example of what can be achieved by those with the vision to see outside traditional approaches. Samantha Woodham and Harry Gates are to be congratulated for their bold innovation, which we should all wish well and hope to see extended.
