Straightforward Family Law Advice Without the Solicitor Price Tag
Post written by a retired family law solicitor advocate.
What You Actually Need Is Straightforward, Affordable Advice
You don’t need a full-service law firm with receptionists, expensive partners, and junior staff charging by the minute. You need someone who knows what they’re doing, will tell you the truth, and won’t rinse your savings in the process.
That’s what I offer. I’m a former solicitor advocate with over 20 years of experience in family law. I used to run my own law firm. Now I work directly with people like you... no middlemen, no fluff. Just straight-talking, expert advice for £200 an hour over the phone. No VAT. No extras. No locked-in contracts.
Why It Works
Clients come to me when they’ve had enough of mixed messages, extortionate fees, and confusing paperwork. Some are representing themselves in court. Others already have a solicitor but want a second opinion or a clearer strategy.
They tell me they’ve spent thousands on lawyers and still don’t understand what’s going on. That they get passed around between assistants. That no one seems to care.
I do. I take the time to understand your case. I cut through the noise and tell you what actually matters in legal terms... and what doesn’t. I help you work out your next step, what to say in court, what to write in a statement, and what your chances really are.
Legal Support That Puts You Back in Control
Whether you’re dealing with financial disclosure, coercive control, contact disputes or pension claims, I give you practical, focused advice based on the law and real courtroom experience.
I’ll help you:
Understand your legal position clearly
Draft court documents in plain English
Prepare for hearings with confidence
Make sensible offers that protect you
Avoid common mistakes that lose cases
If it’s not worth fighting... I’ll say so. If your ex is bluffing... I’ll help you stand your ground.
Real Expertise, Without the Price Tag
Most law firms still charge £300 to £500 per hour plus VAT. That’s before you even speak to the person doing the work. Some firms pad bills with letters you didn’t ask for or meetings that go nowhere.
I charge £200 an hour. You know what you’re getting and what you’re paying. I don't waste your time, and I respect your budget. Every minute is used to move your case forward.
The Law, Explained Clearly
Family law isn’t always straightforward... but that doesn’t mean you should be kept in the dark.
When we speak, I explain the law in plain terms. I’ll flag the issues that judges care about, and the evidence you need to focus on. If you’re making a Form E disclosure or preparing a witness statement, I’ll help you get it right... first time.
If you’re being manipulated or pressured, I’ll help you put firm boundaries in place. If you’ve had poor legal advice before, I’ll help you undo the damage and start fresh.

You don’t have to do this alone. You don’t have to spend a fortune. And you don’t have to settle for confusing legalese or second-rate service.
If you want real legal help from someone who’s been there and done it for decades... I can help.
Call me. Email me. Book a session. Let’s talk through where you are, what’s holding you back, and how to move forward.
