If you are facing family or matrimonial difficulties, our dedicated solicitors will help you get your life back on track. When you feel that your life has been turned upside down, we can help you to take control with expert, straight-forward and practical advice.
All our family solicitors are fully qualified with many years’ experience and will be sympathetic, patient and professional throughout your case.
Legal aid and fixed fee packages
We are accredited with the Solicitors Quality Mark for family, which means that we are recognised for providing high standards of specialist advice and client care in family matters.
We are authorised by the Legal Aid Agency to provide family advice to those eligible to receive public funding. So, if you are eligible for legal aid, then we will assess you immediately and complete any necessary forms with you.
If you are not eligible to receive legal aid, we offer very competitive rates and fixed fee packages to give you the flexibility to pay for only the services you want, at a fixed price or an agreed top end limit.
