Michelle Cooper

I am Director and founder of Acclaimed Family Law in Sheffield. Having been head of a large family law department in Sheffield for many years I opened the first standalone family law department in the city as I believed I could offer an even better first class and cost effective service from a firm that concentrated solely on meeting the needs of family law clients. Many of my cases came by way of recommendations from other clients and other professional and feedback was always excellent but I wanted to exceed client expectations which I believe a smaller niche family firm allows me to do. Specialising in medium to high value cases , I have dealt with high profile divorces and am known for being able to resolve complex and contentious divorce and finance cases, especially those involving companies and partnerships, pension sharing, and shareholding assets, often reaching resolution by round table meetings and cost conscious options. Although my previous department won Yorkshire Lawyer of the Year under my leadership the best accolade is being one of the few Yorkshire family lawyers to be featured in Vouched For as the reviews come from clients. That and receiving recommendations from people who I acted against! I am an accredited specialist panel member in advanced financial provision and domestic abuse with Resolution (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) and I also sit on the regional Resolution committee. One of my recent high profile cases involved dealings with the Court of Appeal to overturn financial orders. I am a member of Barnsley/Rotherham Chamber of Commerce's Representation Council and Women in Business forum.
