Family Law Department
Each member of the family team at Franklins has many years of experience in this specialist field of law. We fully appreciate that family matters can cause great stress and concern and it is always our aim to give prompt, practical and cost-effective advice to solve problems and find solutions.
Wherever possible, we will use negotiation and mediation to find a fair and workable solution. Where litigation is necessary, we have considerable experience of the law and processes involved.
All of our team are committed to resolving disputes in a non-confrontational way, as members of Resolution, the organisation encouraging best practice among family law professionals. We believe that family law disputes should be dealt with in a constructive way designed to preserve people’s dignity and to encourage agreements.
We can assist at every stage, with all types of family relationships. We offer a modestly-priced initial fixed-fee appointment, so that you can talk to us in confidence and without obligation, to discuss your options. Same-day or next-day appointments can usually be offered.
Solicitors Sophie Harrison and Roger Elliot run the family department. Marie Green is the departmental secretary.
Please telephone us on 01235 553222 to arrange an initial fixed-fee appointment or telephone consultation.
