What does working with family solicitors look like?

To offer pragmatic advice that reaches a solution efficiently, our family law solicitors will first have a free exploratory call with you. This allows our team to understand your specific situation, and match you with the best-suited specialist within the family law department.

Next, we’ll have a fixed-fee meeting of up to an hour, to delve further into how we can resolve your specific legal situation. During this meeting, you’ll be provided with tailored advice based on your case, which is then confirmed in a follow-up letter that you’ll receive after the meeting.

Many of our clients comment on how useful this written letter of advice is, as it provides focus and clearly outlines what legal options are available to you. You’re under no obligation to proceed with further legal advice at this stage, but we’ll make it very clear what would happen next if you choose to move forward with our family law team.
