Carreg Law’s approach to family matters
A family breakdown can be one of the most difficult and emotional periods that someone will experience. Family matters are usually conducted by Rachel, who will work to achieve the best result for you and any children involved in a sensitive, practical and non-confrontational manner, all the while adopting a tough approach when required to get the right result.
Rachel provides tailored advice to each client depending on their circumstances and always endeavour to identify the most cost effective solution. Rachel appreciates that most clients wish to avoid court proceedings, so aim to find a resolution out of court wherever possible. This could be by way of offering a referral to family mediation or with the use of collaborative law to allow parties to structure their own agreements relating to finances or children.
Rachel comes from an agricultural background and lives on a smallholding, so understands the needs of agricultural clients and the technicalities of their situation.
We strongly recommend that you avoid the use of online divorce services. The low fees might look appealing but you won’t be getting the knowledge, skill and experience of a qualified solicitor and all the protection that comes with using a regulated professional.
