How we work

The first consultation
The first consultation between one of our family law solicitors and a new client serves as a fact finding mission for both our client and our solicitor. Solicitors are obliged by law to discuss all options available to a person seeking a separation or divorce and this is a stage to which we devote great time and energy. We like all other family law solicitors are required to discuss the following options with our client:

• the possibility of reconciliation with their partner and we provide the names and addresses of persons qualified to help effect a reconciliation.
• the possibility of engaging in mediation to help effect a separation on an agreed basis (the spouses not being separated) or a divorce on a basis agreed between the spouses and we provide the names and addresses of persons and organisations qualified to provide a mediation service
• the possibility of effecting a separation through a separation deed or written separation agreement with the other spouse.
• making the client aware of the possibility of a judicial separation as an alternative to divorce, where no decree of judicial separation in relation to the spouses is in force

In addition to providing the above mandatory information we record all the relevant details of our client's situation. We explain in detail what is involved in each of the courses of action available and give an indication of the likely timeframe involved in resolving the situation, depending on the course of action pursued and also the likely costs involved.

Top of our agenda with all clients who have children is discussing approaches to protecting children during what is a traumatic time for both the children and adults involved.

Guiding You
During all subsequent meetings our solicitors act as sympathetic listener and expert adviser, bringing to bear all their experience, understanding and expertise on each client's individual situation. We pride ourselves on being accessible to our clients when they need us and offering a speedy response to questions and situations as they arise. We make ourselves readily available to our clients in person, by phone or via email.
