Family Law

Getting you your life back...


If you are reading this page, you probably have concerns about the breakdown of your relationship, your family finances, or contact arrangements for your children. Perhaps, even, all of the above.

You want to know what services we offer and how good we are.

Each member of our Team is a specialist Family Lawyer and each also has a particular area of expertise and interest within the umbrella of Family Law, including;

  • Contact and living arrangements
  • Financial support and Child Maintenance Service
  • International child disputes and relocation of children abroad.

Every case is different. Some clients need us to fight forensically on the financial front, some cases need great sensitivity and emotional intelligence; a few simply require a light touch to assist an amicable divorce.

We do not do Legal Aid, and we may not be the cheapest (but we are far from the most expensive).

All clients need to budget for their legal expenses and need to know how much they have spent at any one time.

We offer a free initial consultation so that you can discuss your situation and get a feel for the service we offer.

We will provide you with a clear and detailed plan of next steps, the likely costs involved and payment options, and we will set a billing procedure with you to suit your needs.

We promise that we will

  1. Listen to you
  2. Communicate with you
  3. Advise you and, above all
  4. Fight for you

It may be hard now – but we will see you through to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Contact us by phone or email whenever you are ready.
