That's why our approach is flexible.

Empower yourself

Be prepared. Be ready. Be confident.

The right document for your situation — divorce, order, or agreement — not a generic template that misses the point.

Prepared

Wording and structure the court will accept, so you are not sent back to start again.

Ready

Finances settled, child arrangements concluded, False Allegations challenged, Poor Section 7 Reports rebuffed, and you understand each stage and what is needed.

Confident

Five simple steps. You stay in control.

Understanding the process and having clarity about your next step will give you the confidence you need to work though your legal problems.

We check what you have done

You can be reassured that everything you do is checked before being used. Once you have said the wrong thing in Court, you cannot unsay it.

4

And repeat

Going from the start of an application to the end takes many steps. Do them one at a time, and do then right.

What clients say

"Simon prepared all of my court documents to an exceptionally high standard, attended every hearing with me, and provided invaluable guidance and reassurance during what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time."

McKenzie Friend client

"Looking back over the last four years, finding Simon was one of the best decisions I made during an incredibly difficult period of my life."

Family Court client

"From the moment I started working with him, I found him to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and, importantly, genuinely focused on helping me rather than simply making money."

Long-term client, 2022–2026

Direction from someone who's been in your shoes

Why listen to me?
People still pay substantial solicitor fees when so much of the work can be done yourself. I am the person you go to for guidance, support and I can step in and be hands on if required, I am not the hourly clock.
