With us, it's personal
Family Law is different from almost every other area of law in that the issues we deal with affect real, everyday lives. We believe that, although there is no such thing as an easy divorce, there are many ways to alleviate pain and suffering by taking a collaborative approach. We therefore focus on making sure our clients are aware of all the options open to them with litigation hopefully being a last resort.
In addition, we recognise that it’s not just the legal issues that need dealing with, so we offer our clients additional emotional support through our consultant counsellor, based at our Stony Stratford office.
Focusing solely on family law means we have built considerable expertise throughout our team, all of whom practice exclusively in the family law arena and are members of Resolution, a national family law association which promotes constructive, non-confrontational solutions to family law matters.
