Family Lawyer in South-West London: Protect Your Family
Divorce, separation and break-up of relationships – whether it is your decision or not – can send you reeling.
You may feel scared, vulnerable and confused; your sleep-deprived mind racing with questions about your children, home and finances.
Emotions run high and there’s a risk of making rash decisions.
As an expert in Family Law, and leading Divorce lawyer, I am trained and experienced in working with separating couples and will work with you to achieve the results you want in a sensitive and sensible fashion.
If you are considering getting divorced, you can speak to me about matters to do with children, financial agreements, property dispute resolution, the dreaded E Forms, pensions and relationship agreements.
You can rest assured that my advice will be calming, focused on practicalities and with the goal of resolving your situation as constructively and cost-effectively as possible. I can help you from before you apply or receive Divorce application until you have legally become divorced.

Legal steps to protect your child(ren)
When getting divorced, it can get very unpleasant and complicated. Sadly, children often get caught up in the process and this can have a profound effect on them for the rest of their lives.
It should go without saying that in any dispute involving children, the most important thing is the welfare of the child. This means that sometimes I am called on to take legal steps which will protect your child or children. If this happens to you, I can work alongside you to ensure you get the outcome you want. This can be an upsetting and complicated time for everyone, but I’ll remain by your side and committed you guiding you through the process.
The financial cost of Divorce
Divorce or separation doesn’t have to come with high legal fees. In fact, I will encourage you to work on parts of the process yourself with my guidance, so you can save money. Equally, my fees are just £250 per hour (no VAT) so you won’t be saddled with a bill that’s out of control.
