Family solicitors York – on your side, in and out of court

Every case is unique so we tailor our service to the clients’ needs. We believe in a holistic approach to alleviate stress and work with empathy to secure the most cost-effective outcome, ideally settling out of court, in order to avoid further financial matters. However, our experience has taught us that at times, a court hearing is required and the team has a strong and robust approach to litigation.

Many of our family solicitors are Resolution Accredited Specialists, and we always provide the best divorce lawyer to meet your specific needs.
