Sometimes you just need to know what your options are. Spending an hour with one of our family lawyers, for a fixed fee of £149, will help give you clarity.
Book a ConsultationWhether you intend to start divorce proceedings, or your ex-partner already has, our fixed fee family law consultation can be enormously helpful.
If you want to know where you stand and what your options are, we offer a one-to-one fixed fee family law consultation for £149. Most clients discover something they were unaware of in this consultation and leave filing more in control.
Unlike many legal firms who offer a ‘free’ 20 or 30-minute consultation, we think it’s important that you are given enough time and attention to discuss your specific family circumstances, rather than be given generic advice that could just as easily be obtained on the internet. That’s one of the reasons why we charge for these types of consultations.
As part of the initial consultation, and following your sharing of personal and financial details, our divorce solicitors will advise you on your possible outcome and the next steps you could take. Most of our clients feel far more in control just knowing what their options are.
How do you prepare for your Fixed Fee Family Law Consultation?
If this is the first time you’ve sought the help of a divorce lawyer, it’s likely you won’t know quite what to expect from your first meeting. For many people, the very idea of having to talk about circumstances very personal to them can be daunting, that’s why it helps to come prepared.
Here’s a checklist of what we recommend you think about and bring with you to your fixed fee family law consultation:
Sometimes, if you’re meeting a divorce solicitor for the first time, you may feel more comfortable bringing a friend or family member for support. That’s completely fine. All we ask is that you let us know in advance so that we can welcome you both on arrival.
Please leave your details with us and we will get back to you to arrange an appointment.
As your family circumstances change, you may need advice on a range of other matters. It could be that you need us to help you buy or sell a home, or perhaps you need your Will re-written now that life is different. Please just ask if there is anything we can help you with.
