Welcome to Justin Spain Solicitors
… a boutique private client law firm specialising in family law. Family law differs from other areas of the law in that relationship breakdown or disputes regarding children are particularly personal and difficult for those involved. As such family law disputes require a special set of skills, both professional and personal.
We will give you clear, objective and pro-active advice while taking a practical route to achieving an appropriate outcome. From the beginning we will keep you informed of all developments in your case and use our many years of experience to achieve the best result possible for you.
The firm takes on only a limited number of clients at any one time so that each client receives focused, personal advice and attention. Where possible we try to resolve disputes before they reach a Court as this is usually the best option for all concerned, both in terms of legal costs and in terms of preserving lines of communication between the parties going forward.
It is important to note that the information on this site is not designed to replace the need for high quality legal advice as each client has a unique set of circumstances. However, it may give you some understanding of the issues involved.
