Morning everyone. Can anyone advise me of a really good and empathetic divorce solicitor who offers legal aid? Sad day...Thanks for reading

I don't know of any I'd recommend sorry. I think word of mouth is the best kind of advertising if you have any friends who've used one in the past.
Although in my limited knowledge of lawyers/solicitors my belief is that they are all out to get as much money out of you as possible. Also, when you do find one make sure you know their fees before retaining them and get it in writing too.
I have in the past been stung by fees from a solicitor who'd originally told me one price only to change it to his (very expensive on my part) advantage when we had to settle the bill

Hope you find one though, but sorry it's for divorce purposes

In the same boat. I have a decent solicitor in Chester who tells you the price first. PM me if interested and Ill give you the details

I forgot to say. First consultation is free

I think Legal Aid for Divorce ended on March 31st this year.

Correct - as of 1st April 2013 the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act has changed.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
