Testimonials
“We can’t thank Sally enough for her help and guidance during a recent case. Sally was incredibly patient with us, neither of us have been involved in a process of this nature before and the whole thing was quite daunting to begin with and we had a lot of questions. Her honesty throughout was very welcome especially given some scenarios which we found ourselves facing. Should we find ourselves in a similar position in the future we will 100% be contacting Rothera Sharp. ”DB and LB
“Meticulous' and 'thorough' associate Sally Hartland is recommended for parental disputes involving issues such as contact, residency and domestic violence. ”Legal 500, 2020
“We went to Sally Hartland to help us in a child custody case, we can not praise her enough on her performance during this case. Sally went above and beyond for me and my family and was always reliable and efficient in her work. She was always very friendly while keeping things professional. She has given us piece of mind that if we were to ever need her services again we would feel comfortable and confident in Sally to handle them. ”Sarah Dunlop and Louise James
“I believe Ms. Sally Hartland to be a competent and patient solicitor who really knows all the details of this discipline. What I also appreciated quite a bit during my proceedings was the immediate availability and helpfulness anytime I sought advice. In other words, with Ms. Hartland, one is never left waiting when urgent decisions need to be made, but she is always a friendly and reassuring voice at the end of the phone line. ”Sascha Grillo
“We would like to thank you for your professional help, support and genuine kindness through very difficult times… with very best wishes and grateful thanks. ”Charles and Jane Day
“Sally Hartland was invaluable when representing the interests of myself and my children. She provided clear advice and support when applying for a change of residency, in what seemed like a futile case as the children had been living with their father for 6 years. Thankfully, we were able to win the case and my children are happy and settled in Nottingham. I am eternally grateful for how she helped my family and would recommend her services. ”JW

Easements: when could an interference arise with my ability to exercise a right of way?
The recent case of Vance & Vance v Collerton & Collerton has illustrated that if it is not unreasonable to insist on the continued luxury of a widely granted right of way, an actionable interference will occur even if the person benefiting from the right is left with reasonable access.
