Family law services for you

Perhaps you are already separated or have yet to discuss the prospect of a separation with your partner. Maybe you are a parent or grandparent anxious to agree child arrangements. Seeking legal advice at an early stage is crucial to ensure that you secure the best possible outcome. We can help you consider your options and assist you to make decisions which are right for you and your family. We'll provide advice to you on all aspects arising from the breakdown of your relationship, whatever your circumstances, including the intricacies of LGBTQ+ parenting. 

We offer the confidential guidance that you require sympathetically and with sensitivity. We can discuss the alternatives to Court proceedings with you to help you try and avoid conflict where possible. We can also represent you in connection with Court proceedings in circumstances where disputes cannot be resolved by other means. 

We collaborate with our other professional expert contacts to ensure that you have access to the advice and support that you might need to enable you to make important legal decisions. 

Getting married or living together with your partner is a decision which has important legal and financial consequences for you both. We can also provide legal advice prior to you embarking upon making those commitments. With offices in Hinckley, Leicestershire and Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, we offer in-person appointments but we are equally happy to meet you remotely using Teams or Zoom.

Had an appointment with Judith today. Her advice was very clear as she highlighted possible scenarios of the issue discussed and made the whole tangled topic much easier to grasp. Thank you. Will definitely use TFS services again.

I've had a couple of previous solicitors to deal with my case but unfortunately it didn't workout. The gods must be shining on me because I had the good fortune to meet Nicola Starbuck at Thomas Flavell & Sons. Nicola has been simply incredible with my case. She has kept me informed every step of the way and given me the best advice to get my outcome. I didn't once have to contact Nicola for an update. She handled it all with great efficiency. She a credit to this practice. If you are in need of a great solicitor, now you know. Don't mess about......

Judith recently handled my divorce which at a very stressful time was made much less so by her professionalism and understanding. Always at the end of the phone or email for any advice and guidance throughout the proceedings. Fantastic service and I would definitely recommend.

I had a first class service with Nicola and Julie at Thomas Flavells, I achieved everything and more with the outcome due to the professionalism and knowledge of the team. I would highly recommend everyone to use this company and I will also use again for any other matters. Many thanks to a great team including the mortgage/property team who were also involved with the case and all did a quick, straightforward smooth job.

Having had a poor experience with my previous solicitors, Nicola Starbuck was a breath of fresh air. Very professional but easy to understand with a straight forward approach.

Arrange an initial fixed fee consultation

We think that it’s important that, at a time when you are feeling uncertain about your circumstances, you are given time to properly discuss your situation with a member of our team. The initial consultation generally lasts at least an hour during which we offer advice regarding your options and next steps. Following the meeting  you will hopefully feel more informed and in control and can then reflect upon whether you wish to instruct us further.

Before the meeting we provide you with access to “Engage” which is an online questionnaire. It is “intelligent” adapting to your specific circumstances to capture much of the information that would traditionally be gathered in a face to face meeting so that your first meeting is as productive as possible.  Engage uses the same sort of technology as online banking.  You will be emailed a complete record of the information that you have provided which will encrypted for your peace of mind.  

Please call us to book your consultation, alternatively you can complete this form and we will be in touch to arrange a consultation at a time to suit you.
