“I went to three Solicitors before I approached Natalie. I had given up on all avenues as other Solicitors kept looking at the ifs and maybes but when I contacted Natalie she was steadfast. As far as she was concerned she could see what I was talking about and was willing and able to take this case on on a conditional fee basis. ”

Children Matters
When a relationship breaks down we understand that the children involved are the most important element, and if you are unable to reach an agreement with the other party, we are here to provide you with advice and assistance as to the most appropriate way forward for all involved. When resolving children matters, the main focus will be the welfare of the children and ensuring that whatever steps are taken will be in their best interests. We are able to represent you in all aspects of Private Law Children Act work, including contact matters, residence, parental responsibility and specific issues.
Injunction Matters
If you have been experiencing difficulties with the behaviour of a former partner, we are able to assist you in obtaining a Court Order to prevent such behaviour happening again. We understand that people find it difficult to discuss the most personal aspects of their relationship, but believe protection should be given to those experiencing domestic abuse. Our sympathetic lawyers are able to assist in obtaining orders to protect you (and your children) where necessary. Orders can be obtained to prevent violent or harassing behaviour, and to prevent your former partner from approaching your property.
