The Law Society’s Family Law Panel How Can We Help?

A Hand Morgan & Owen Fact Sheet

Divorce and separation is a complex process spanning a period of time. No two cases are the same. The way your case is handled and the quality of advice you receive is all important.
We are experienced Family Lawyers who provide independent advice.
Divorce work involves detailed knowledge of the law.
There are many organisations and individuals who can help such as mediators and welfare officers. But only a qualified lawyer is trained to give you legal advice as you go through the legal maze that can rise as a result of a divorce or separation.
We understand the emotional turmoil a divorce or separation can generate and we can help to reduce stress and stabilise your situation.
To qualify as Family Lawyers we have had to prove that we have relevant experience working in divorce, separation and family disputes. We have also committed ourselves to regular professional training to stay up to date. Family Lawyers are accredited by the Law Society which is the governing body for solicitors in England and Wales

Lawyers work in different areas of the law. There are huge benefits in asking an accredited Family Lawyer to conduct your divorce. Our experience means that we bring a broad and rounded knowledge of family law to the negotiating table.

We can estimate the cost of your case before you take any action and discuss funding.

As Law Society approved Family Lawyers we are committed to non-confrontational negotiation. However, there may be times when we have to take a firm and uncompromising line to protect your interests. Our prime concern is to conclude everything as quickly and painlessly as possible assisting you, your spouse and your dependants to move on to a more settled future.

You can see an accredited Family Lawyer for initial advice, to discuss certain aspects of your situation or to handle the entire matter. Use us a little or a lot depending on your needs.

It’s not just the quality of legal advice but the way in which your case is handled that is important. As members of this scheme we promise to keep you informed of the progress of your case and costs throughout.

We believe that the well-being of the child is paramount and that their emotional and financial security is best achieved by a positive parenting relationship between all parties wherever possible and agreement on maintenance and contact

Dividing things up doesn’t have to be a battle of wills. Positive negotiation is a powerful tool and most couples arrive at amicable settlements.

If a court case does prove necessary, which is rare, then we partner you through the entire process and advise you on the implications of every decision you have to make.
