Family Solicitors in Colchester

Compassionate family solicitors in Colchester

Family issues can often be complex and challenging and a separation can be one of the most difficult times in your life. Whatever your family law issue, you need empathetic, understanding and pragmatic legal advice so that you can decide on what is the best outcome for you and your family.

Our specialist Colchester family solicitors are here to help. With vast experience across all areas of family law, our Colchester team will be able to guide you through the steps towards resolution. We offer a free exploratory call, in which you’ll discuss the details of your specific case. We will then be able to suggest the right person in our family team to work with you moving forward.

A rich history of helping Colchester’s families

Ellisons was initially founded in Colchester 260 years ago, and since then, we’ve been helping local families to resolve their legal matters,  and always focused on reaching the best outcome for you.

The Colchester family law team is headed by Partner Lisa Dawson, who first joined the firm in 2002 as a trainee. Lisa is Head of the Family Department at Ellisons, and her team is equipped to handle your case sensitively and professionally and will help you navigate your separation. Ellisons operates from two offices in Colchester, to maximise the team’s capacity for assisting you. These are located on Head Street and Le Cateau Road, with both offices only a 10-minute walk from Colchester Town train station.

Our team offer a free exploratory call so that we can fully understand the details of you case and work out who the best solicitor is in the team to assist you moving forward. After the call, the next step is to attend a fixed fee meeting with your family law solicitor which can take place in person at either of these locations, or remotely via video call or telephone.
