Family Law
Report
The breakdown of a relationship can be very stressful. Advice from an understanding solicitor can help to ease the blow. Obtaining legal advice at an early stage can assist in decision making but does not commit you to any particular course of action. When a couple has separated arrangements need to be made relating to the family home, for maintenance, division of capital assets and liability for matrimonial debts. Many people choose to enter into a formal written agreement called a Separation Agreement dealing with these matters.
Children
Report
Where a couple separate it is preferable for parents to agree on the arrangements for their children but this may be impossible for many reasons. The most important factor is the best interests of the children. Where agreement cannot be reached we can assist in trying to negotiate suitable arrangements and where this is not possible we can raise proceedings for you and provide representation in court.

According to Lynn "GDPR is a joke of a legislation". This is despite it being a law she has to follow. I was told this just before she hung up the phone on me after I had made a request to correct my data. Lynn was involved before GDPR was implemented in May 2018. This means if she had followed the data protection act 1998, she would had to have corrected the false data.
She didn't and it resulted in mine and my daughter human rights being breached. Courts have the power to enforce data protection legislation, yet for some reason Lynn neglected to remind the judge of the law. She happily took the legal aid money to represent me at a children's hearing, shame she just ignored the rights of the child!

Unprofessional rude and clearly incompetent was paid thousands of pounds to basically do a report that was supposed to be impartial! Miss Herbert did not report the facts instead reported her pre formed view a pack of lies and inaccuracies worded to suit her own views without looking at the facts any lawyer with an ounce of decency would have been more diligent and professional when dealing with a family matter made my daughter cry an absolute disgrace to her profession.
And to add her views of an assault on a 12 year old child in her own bedroom she describes it as understandable! While the police child protection team see it as assault and threatening and abusive behaviour towards a child but Miss Herberts view is it's just understandable.
