Experienced legal counsel you can trust

Family law helps when relationships change or break down. If you're considering divorce, need to arrange child contact, or are sorting out finances after separation, this area covers your situation. The process encourages agreement where possible, especially when children are involved. Courts make decisions based on fairness and children's best interests. Most people resolve matters without a final hearing. Legal advice early on often saves time and stress.

When you have a serious disagreement - whether about money owed, property boundaries, or broken contracts - dispute resolution offers ways forward. Most disputes can be settled without court through discussion or mediation. If court becomes necessary, strict deadlines and procedures apply. Acting quickly protects your position. The costs and outcomes vary greatly depending on the type of dispute and how it's handled.

Public law helps when you need to challenge decisions by councils, government departments, or other public bodies. This might involve fighting benefit decisions, challenging school exclusions, or securing proper care services. You usually have just three months to act. Many cases involve ensuring public bodies follow proper procedures and respect your rights. Legal aid may be available for some public law matters.
