What to expect from your family law solicitor

When money is tight and you are going through a rough time, it can be easy to think that you can handle matters yourself, but when times are tough, a family solicitor can help. When instructing a solicitor to help you with your family dispute, you can expect the following:

1. Advice which is tailored to you and your situation. You should be advised about the current law AND how it relates to you.

2. A clear explanation about the processes involved in your case, how long it will take and whether it is necessary for you to attend court.

3. Advice about other options open to you to resolve matters, such as mediation.

4. To be kept informed and updated as and when things happen in your case.

5. Clear information about your costs and how these can be paid.

6. To be able to contact your solicitor about your case when you need to. Even if you cannot speak to your solicitor immediately, you should be able to leave a message or email them with your queries, or speak to someone else who will be able to help you.

7. Most importantly, a solicitor will give you the support you need and honest advice as to how you should deal with matters.
