How we can help
Whatever situation you find yourself in, we’re committed to providing you with the best service at a time when you need it most. As a result of passing regular checks by the Legal Services Commission we’re proud to have been awarded a quality mark to carry out family work.
By calling on our skills you can be confident of receiving service and legal expertise of the highest standard. Our Family Law team includes members of the Advanced Law Society Family Panel, Resolution (previously known as the Solicitors Family Law Association) and collaborative lawyers.
Our family lawyers share a commitment to adopting a conciliatory approach to marriage and family disputes wherever possible. However, we’re aware that this isn’t always the best way forward so we can be ‘tough’ on your behalf when needed.
We aim to help you move forward with your life by offering the best legal advice possible and explaining fully the options available to you and their implications. We’ll always advise and support you in making the best choices for you and your family and putting those decisions into practice. If at any time decisions are taken out of your hands, we’ll represent you to achieve the best result possible.
And it goes without saying that we’ll do everything we can to help you if you require immediate advice, with your call being dealt with on the same day wherever possible.
Your questions answered
Q - How much will advice cost me?
A - We can offer advice on any family law issue you may have. The first thing we'll do is talk about your situation and then provide an estimate of the likely cost of handling your case.
We’re one of a limited number of firms in the Leeds area who are contracted to provide free or subsidised legal help, and we can advise whether you are entitled to any help with legal costs through public funding (legal aid).
If you’re not eligible for help with your legal fees we can arrange for you to pay by regular instalments.
If you simply want some basic legal guidance, a member of our experienced family law team can offer you a no obligation half hour interview to help you decide what to do next, how to approach the situation, and what other sources of help or information may be available to you.
