01

Two things set us apart.

Families going through separation

When a marriage or relationship ends there is a great deal to untangle — the divorce itself, the family home, pensions, savings, and what the future looks like for your children. We guide you through each decision with straightforward advice and a steady hand, in England & Wales and across borders.

Neurodivergent families

Where you, your former partner or your child is autistic, has ADHD or is otherwise neurodivergent, family proceedings need a different approach — from how arrangements for children are designed, to how communication and court hearings are managed. Few firms have genuine experience here. We do.

02

Everything you need to know where you stand.

The First Steps package: a complete first piece of advice, for one fixed price. No hourly billing, no open-ended commitment — just clear answers and a written record you can keep.

  1. 1

    A free 15-minute chat

    Book online and tell us what is happening. We will confirm we are the right fit for you — before you pay anything.

  2. 2

    A one-hour consultation

    A full meeting with your solicitor to work through your situation in depth and set out your options and where you stand.

  3. 3

    Your advice in writing

    A written note of the advice given, covering what was discussed in your consultation — yours to keep and refer back to.

  4. 4

    A 15-minute catch-up

    Once you have had time to absorb it, a follow-up call to answer any questions on the advice you have received.

The next step after First Steps

Fixed-fee divorce — £990 inc VAT, plus court fee

Once you have completed your First Steps consultation, we can take a straightforward, undisputed divorce all the way through — from application to final order — for this fixed fee. It follows First Steps rather than standing alone, so your divorce is always built on proper advice first. Finances and arrangements for children are dealt with separately.

03

You will know exactly who is acting for you.

We are a deliberately small, specialist firm. Your case is handled by an experienced family solicitor from first call to final order — never passed down the line.

05

Good advice is an investment.

We are a specialist firm and we are not the cheapest. We do not offer legal aid. What we offer instead is experienced advice and honest costs from the outset — starting with First Steps, a complete first piece of advice for a fixed £490 including VAT, so you know exactly where you stand before deciding what to do next.
