Established in 2008 by Claire Thomas and Sarah Chaytor, our ethos has always been to provide expert legal advice in all matters concerning family law in a flexible, creative, sensitive and cost effective way. We draw not only on our own wealth of experience but also on the expertise of others to help families facing divorce or separation find a way forward.
There are a number of ways in which the arrangements which need to be made following a relationship breakdown can be made. Whether you are setting up home, planning to get married or becoming civil partners, or going through the painful experience of a separation or divorce, we can offer help and advice to help you through the situation. Thank you and your team for all your help.
Everyone was very kind and helpful which makes everything so much easier in difficult circumstances. I fell upon your services by chance, a lucky look in the paper, however I feel so fortunate to have had you there with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
