About Us

At Donna Sandall Family Law, we are more than just legal advisors; we are your trusted partners in navigating life’s most personal and challenging moments. Based in the heart of Darlington, our specialist solicitors’ practice focuses exclusively on family and matrimonial law, offering expert advice and dedicated support to clients across County Durham and beyond.

Our Mission

We are committed to providing clear, practical, and compassionate legal guidance that empowers you to make informed decisions about your future. Family matters often bring emotional complexity, and we understand how important it is to feel supported by a legal team that truly listens, cares, and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your loved ones.

Our Expertise

As a boutique practice, we specialise in all areas of family law, including:

  • Divorce and separation
  • Child arrangements and parental responsibility
  • Financial settlements and asset division
  • Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
  • Cohabitation and separation agreements

Our founder, Donna Sandall, has two decades of experience in this field, with a deep understanding of the legal and emotional aspects of family law. We approach each case with professionalism, discretion, and a commitment to delivering results that meet your unique needs.

Originally from Darlington, Donna moved to Peterborough in 2000 to start a training contract at a local law firm there. She qualified as a solicitor in 2002 and, over the next 16 years, built up a reputation as an experienced and exceptional family lawyer, well respected by her peers in the legal profession as well as members of the judiciary.

In September 2018, Donna and her family relocated back to her beloved North East and she continued her family law work here. Donna helps clients with divorce matters, financial disputes and issues concerning children. Additionally, she deals with cohabitation cases, pre-nuptial agreements and domestic violence matters.
