Q: What can you do for me?
A: I can provide you with the right legal advice to allow you to decide how to move forward at what must be one of the most difficult times in anybody’s life, by considering all the options and focusing on what is best for you and your children.
I am conscious that seeing a divorce lawyer is not a lot of fun, but providing you with the right legal advice at this difficult point in your life will allow you to deal with the issues and move out of the dilemma you find yourself in. With 30 years' experience of practising divorce law, I am able to work with you empathetically to achieve everything you wish to achieve.
Q: What makes you different from other divorce lawyers?
A: A very good question; lots of lawyers like to tell you they are the best or that they are leading lights or experts.
I suppose I come to this from the point of view that if I was going through a divorce I would want somebody who adopts my approach. Someone who prioritises the children and sees the bigger issues, but makes sure that I will have financial security for the rest of my life.
Q: What do your clients say about you?
A: I enclose some quotations from Legal 500 and Chambers. We are the topped ranked firm in Chambers for the West Midlands and joint top in Legal 500.
"Interviewees say: 'He is a shining light in the Midlands – experienced, client-focused and with an eye for the end result.'"
"He is a ‘legend and very knowledgeable.'”
Q: What involvement do you have in the local community?
A: All of our team are members of Resolution. Many are collaboratively trained and I am a mediator.
I am involved in the Birmingham Free Legal Advice Group (FLAG) and passionately believe in supporting my local community in the Birmingham market place.
Q: What else should I know about you?
A: I lecture nationally to lawyers on family law and have done so for many years. I have regularly appeared on TV, but most importantly I have two fantastic children who are my pride and joy.
