We are a solicitors firm specialising in all aspects of Family Law and Mental Health, we understand that such issues can be stressful and emotional for you and we pride ourselves on our caring approach. We also have specialist expertise in care proceedings, including non-accidental injury, neglect, sexual and emotional abuse. We charge a fixed fee of 100 plus VAT for an initial appointment to discuss the options available to you.
In addition to privately funded work we have a contract with the Legal Aid Agency. However, availability for this is limited due to changes that came in 2013. Legal Aid is available to parents who are involved in care proceeding issued by the local authority. We also have a mental health contract with the Legal Aid Agency.

Services
I have been practicing law in the South Wales area for over fifteen years specialising in Family and Mental health.
In 2011 I became an accredited member of the Law Society Children Panel, both as an adult and child representative and in 2013 became a member of the Law Society Mental Health Panel.
I have a wide range of experience in all aspects of family law, including divorce, financial, adoption proceedings, domestic violence and child disputes between parents.
I am passionate about Family Law and this inspired me to set up my own practice in 2013 to provide the highest quality service, where I can focus on my client's needs.

We understand the cost of legal proceedings can be both confusing and expensive.
Our approach, here at HMD Family Law, is to be completely clear and transparent.
From your first appointment you will receive a full estimate of the costs you are likely to incur and when you are expected to meet these costs.
These include all outside fees and court fees, in addition to the service we provide by acting on your behalf.
If possible we will try to offer you with a fixed fee arrangement that will cover the cost of the services we provide to you, including any correspondence and appointments.
