Georgina Burrows, Senior Associate Solicitor

Don’t just rely on your solicitor for support – relationship breakdowns are emotionally taxing, and while we’ll handle the legal stuff, a counsellor can be a lifeline when you need them most.

Always present information and documents in an orderly fashion, as this will save a lot of time and help you to keep the costs down.

Narrow the issues you have with your former partner at the earliest opportunity.

How long is this going to take?

It depends, because every case is different. Generally, children cases can last between six months and a year, and divorce cases usually take between four months and six months. Finances can be a little more complex, and may take between 9 to 18 months.

Do you have children of your own?

I have a daughter in her 20s, and a teenage daughter at home.

How much it will cost?

This depends on the process and nature of your dispute, but we take great care to estimate costs and work out a plan to make sure you’re in financial control of your case.
