Gardner Champion was an amalgamation of two firms, Gardner Railton and Co which had roots back to the 1900's and Champions which was formed in the 1970's. The two partners are Peter and Julie Ashley a husband and wife team who have both been qualified for over 20 years. The firm deals mainly with residential conveyancing, divorce and separation and family matters and wills and probate.
We currently have a contract with the Legal Services Commission to provide publicly funded work in family matters only. One of the main advantages of instructing us to act for you is that because we are a small firm you are able to develop a one to one relationship with the person dealing with your matter. We believe that this is very important to our clients particularly as technology advances.
There is still nothing better than being able to talk to the person with control.
