Family Law
Any Family Law matter can be extremely worrying and emotional, and our Family Solicitors are here to provide support and guidance through this difficult time.
Child law is very specialised and determined by a number of legislative acts, and is constantly changing.
Legal issues can arise when circumstances in your relationship or family life change. We believe that family law requires a rather different approach to many other areas of the law. Although we will usually explore alternatives to litigation, we recognise that some cases demand urgent court action to protect the interests of our clients, in particular Domestic Violence cases.
We will deal with your case in a sensitive and professional manner, we pride ourselves on our high level of service which shows in our high referral rate and representations of clients nationally.
We have undertaken considerable amount of Care Proceedings cases (social services involvement), Non-Molestation Orders (Domestic Violence injunctions), Financial settlements, forced marriages orders and Divorce.
We are unable to supply you with case examples due to family proceedings being private and to ensure the identity of the child is protected. However, we have expertise in all aspects of Family law
