Family & Divorce Solicitors

The breakdown of a relationship is a stressful and worrying experience. Incorrect advice or action, however well meaning, can put you at a disadvantage right from the start. The quality of advice you receive and the way in which your case is handled can greatly improve the outcome for you.

“Rivals praise the solicitors at Williams Thompson for being respected divorce specialists, offering clients a constructive approach to the law”.

Family Law Specialists
Williams Thompson is recognised as one of the top Family Law firms in the south of England. With a team of five specialist solicitors we are also one of the largest niche practices in the region. Such is our reputation within the legal profession that a number of the larger Solicitors' firms in the area regularly recommend their clients to us.

Protecting Your Best Interests
As your Solicitors, our role is to act on your behalf and protect your interests. We have particular expertise in dealing with financial disputes that follow relationship breakdown. We act for clients ranging from those with modest means to those with significant assets.

Quality & Accreditation
As Law Society Accredited Family Lawyers and members of Resolution (formerly the Solicitors' Family Law Association), we are committed to non-confrontational negotiation, but are equally able to take a firm line to protect your interests when required. Often cases can be settled out of court, but if required we will represent you in courts locally and elsewhere including the Principal Registry (family court) in London.

Fixed Fee Initial Interview
As we know that costs are always a concern, we provide an initial fixed fee interview in complete confidence and without any commitment for you to take matters further. We will always put our charging basis in writing and regularly keep you informed of costs.
