Divorce & Family

We are family law specialists.

We understand that relationship breakdown can be one of the most distressing and traumatic experiences that you may ever face. With our wealth of knowledge and experience we have provided our clients with clear, constructive and sympathetic advice, helping them achieve the best possible outcome. We understand that discussing difficulties with relationships is never easy. No matter how complex or distressing the dispute, we will listen carefully and sympathetically and then tell you the options that are realistically open to you.


We can help you resolve financial issues, problems with couples living together, disputes over children, domestic violence and separation. We have considerable experience in complex cases where large sums of money are involved.

Our specialist team includes an accredited member of Resolution who promote resolving disputes in a conciliatory and cost effective way. Accredited members are required to undertake further legal examination to ensure that expert legal advice is provided together with a quality service. Deborah L. Bailey the Partner heading the team, is the only local solicitor who is an accredited member.

We adhere to the Resolution’s Code of Conduct. This means that we approach all family disputes in a conciliatory manner, in an effort to reduce the potential hostility that often surrounds family breakdown. Frequently, we have found that this approach is not only positive from an emotional perspective but helps reduce your cost for legal assistance.

Most of our work is referral-based through satisfied clients and voluntary advice and financial services agencies.
