We believe in access to justice for all. We offer affordable legal services including fixed fee packages. Our charging system is transparent and we keep you informed at all times where you stand.
Our family law solicitors are proud to remain committed to legal aid funding if eligible. We know that consulting a lawyer can be stressful, daunting and expensive. We want to make that first step easier. We are able to offer an initial consultation of up to 1 hour followed by a comprehensive advice letter for £300.
We are one of a handful of firms nationally with the strength to handle every type of family law case, from a straightforward divorce to the most complex breakdowns involving disputes with children, high value matrimonial assets and international issues.
Our children lawyers deal with some of the most challenging cases involving social services intervention to removal of children; cases which include allegations of brain injury, shaken baby syndrome, sexual abuse, Munchausen’s syndrome, fabricated illness, the murder of the parent by another, allegations that a parent is involved in terrorism (including ISIS) or that a parent is involved in organised crime or criminal gangs.
We have excellent relationships with specialist barristers, accountants, independent financial advisers, surveyors, medical specialists, counsellors, agencies supporting children and survivors of abuse. When we take on your case we step in your shoes and help you through what is probably the most distressing experience of your life; the breakdown of a relationship or the threat of the loss of your child.
Our family team includes members of the Law Society’s Children Panel Accreditation Scheme as well as a significant number of Resolution accredited specialists.
As a team or as individual lawyers, our family law specialists are active and leading members of, or approved by, key associations to enhance our ability to help you, including:
