Hitchman & Co specialise in Family Law and Miss Hitchman, the Proprietor has held Children Panel status with the Law Society since 1999. The Practice takes pride in its down to earth but efficient approach, thereby keeping clients' costs to a minimum. We have been described as plain speaking with a "no nonsense" approach.
We give realistic advice and provide clients with a sensitive and focused service in Divorce, Contact/Residence, Domestic Violence, Financial Settlements upon Divorce, Cohabitee Disputes and the most complex of children cases including Care Proceedings.We offer potential clients an initial fixed fee appointment for 120 inclusive of VAT during which they may consider the advice given and whether they wish to take the matter further, if appropriate, along with an estimate of likely costs and disbursements.
We hold a contract with the Legal Aid Agency to deliver services to clients who meet the relevant criteria. In addition, we are Commissioners for Oaths and prepare free-standing documents such as Statutory Declarations and Change of Name Deeds.

Question: I am on benefits or a low income and need Legal Aid in respect of contact, divorce; sorting out my housing and finances can you help me?
Answer: This Firm holds a contract with the Legal Aid Agency but unfortunately the scope for assisting clients in these cases has been greatly reduced as a result of major changes in Government policy.
Legal Aid will now only fund cases where the party applying for legal aid is able to prove that they have been a recent victim of domestic violence and the alleged perpetrator is the opponent in any Family dispute they are trying to resolve.
