Family Law Solicitors

Why choose Hodge Jones & Allen Solicitors?

Our process for handling your case is discreet and robust. Here’s what you can expect:

Understanding your needs

Our team of experienced and caring family law solicitors can provide you with the assistance you need to help you cope with the issues you are facing. This is best done at a first meeting, which may be for a fixed fee in most cases.

Clear advice

Based on your requirements and the information provided, we will then be able to discuss your options and give you clear and straightforward advice as well as recommending the best way forward.

Getting a resolution

Whatever your situation, our team can advise you from the first stages of getting together, through to children issues, domestic abuse, financial issues and the breakdown of a relationship. We’ll ensure that the solicitor you deal with is the right match for your specific situation, helping you find the best possible resolution during this difficult time.

What are the costs?

How much a family lawyer will cost depends on your requirements and as each case is individual there’s no one size fits all approach.

We’ll always provide you with a clear cost estimate, with transparency around the approach to costs.

For most family law matters, we would be able to offer a fixed consultation fee for £300 + VAT. At this point, you might need to provide us with all the relevant documentation and information. We can then advise you of the best course of action and you will be able to ask all your key questions at that meeting.

Following the consultation, if your case is suitable and very straightforward, we also offer a fixed fee divorce service which is £999 plus VAT, disbursements and court fee of £550 for a petitioner (to start a divorce), and a respondent service fee of £540 plus VAT.
