Barrister

"Ridley & Hall has in my opinion, some of West Yorkshire’s most able children law solicitors. They have a breadth and depth of knowledge. Documents are skilfully executed. They are compassionate fighters and leave no stone unturned for their clients. It is a pleasure to receive a brief that is already so well thought through. They are undoubtedly a top tier firm."

Ashley Lord, Barrister

"I have worked with the Ridley & Hall family team on various complex cases. They are extremely dedicated to clients; by example I recall a client called in the late evening requiring assistance and myself and the solicitor with conduct worked until the small hours to ensure an urgent application could be filed as soon as the Court office was open. The service that Ridley and Hall provide to their clients undoubtedly has a positive impact on the community ensuring that some of society’s most vulnerable receive committed, thoughtful and fearless representation protecting their rights and, where possible, reuniting families."
