We understand the issues and stresses you’ll experience. We’ll help you work out the best way forward and negotiate calmly on your behalf. No matter how hard it gets we’ll stand by you and keep our eyes on the best possible outcome for you and your family.
We are members of Resolution
Resolution is a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve issues in a constructive way. Resolution was founded in 1982 by a group of family lawyers who believed that a non-confrontational approach to family law issues would produce better outcomes for separating families and their children. Resolution members are committed to promoting a constructive approach to family issues that considers the needs of the whole family.
AREAS OF FAMILY LAW WE CAN HELP WITH
Amicable separations and divorces
If you’ve already worked out a plan that is agreeable to both parties, then we can help make it legally binding.
Collaborative law
If you want to deal with the issues you’re facing in a non confrontational way then we can help.
