Progressive Family Law Exeter

We are committed to the practice of progressive family law Exeter. By this we mean that our team have many years assisting Exeter families and representing them in Exeter Family Court. We are progressive in that we are solution-focussed. We will support clients through the best process for them, to achieve a fair outcome to their case.

This could be through Ian or David assisting as neutral mediators. This could also be through us providing legal advice and/or representation. When acting as solicitors we assist clients to make the best use of family mediation by advising on how to negotiate and how to structure reasonable proposals; when to give ground and when not to. We assist clients with collaborative family law or to make use of arbitration.

Where appropriate, we represent clients in Court. We aim to offer clients maximum choice of process. Whatever gets to a good and reasonable outcome.

We also practice progressive family law Exeter in that we are open about charges. We publish hourly rates on this website. We are able to offer clients a choice between hourly charging and reasonable fixed fees. Our hourly rates are competitive with other Solicitors with comparable experience. We make good use of technology and flexible working and office space. We invest in the most important things – i.e. training and subscribing the top legal level practice support service.

Clients want good advice at a fair price, which is what we strive to provide.

We are also contracted with the Legal Aid Agency to offer Legal Aid for family law and for family mediation.
