Sharon Montgomery

Partner

I am a Partner at Crane & Staples. I deal with any problems or issues that result from the breakdown of relationships within families, especially financial matters.

This could be as a result of separation, divorce or civil partnership dissolution but it might also relate to the separation of unmarried couples.

I qualified as a Solicitor in 1986 and joined Crane & Staples as a Partner in 2001. I have specialised in Family Law throughout my career.

I am committed to non-Court based solutions to families’ problems wherever possible.

You can find out more about the services that we provide on the Family page.

Awards

In 2023, I won the Hertfordshire Law Society Lifetime Achievement Award.

I have been a Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer since 2020.

Memberships and Positions Held

I am a member of Resolution, the Family Law organisation committed to assisting families in a non-adversarial way and putting children first. You can find out more about the Resolution Code of Practice here.

As part of the services that we offer the community, I sit as Vice Chair on the Welwyn Hatfield Domestic Abuse Forum.

Podcast

I have a podcast series titled, "Unravelling Relationships: 35 Years as a Divorce Lawyer".

Outside the office

I am working my way through a bucket list of travel destinations.

I enjoy supporting local charity and community events.
