Family Law
Unfortunately, relationships and life don’t always go as planned. When things become difficult, you need someone who can help protect your interests—and those of the people who matter most to you.
Our family law specialist, Cheryl Hennesey, brings over 20 years of experience and is accredited by Resolution, the national organisation of family lawyers. She is also a member of the Law Society Family Panel. Cheryl is known for her friendly, sensitive approach and her commitment to delivering clear, effective legal advice.
We know that no two situations are the same. That’s why we take the time to understand your needs and explain your options in plain English—so you feel supported and informed every step of the way.

Free Initial Consultation?
Before we proceed with any legal work, we offer a free short telephone consultation, typically about 15-minutes. It provides you with a chance to assess your legal options and to see whether we are offering what you want from a legal firm, in terms of knowledge, approachability and expertise and not to provide advice..
This free telephone consultation is without obligation and is intended to provide both of us with a complete overview.
