Need Advice?

Whilst litigants may find some of the information on this blog useful it is of course not the same as advice tailored to your individual circumstances – and you should not treat anything on this blog as legal advice. People often post comments on the blog asking for advice about their own family case, which I am unable to give via this website, because barristers have historically only been able to offer advice when instructed by a solicitor.

If you are looking for a barrister or would like to instruct me please contact my clerks at St John’s Chambers. If you are eligible for legal aid you will need to go via your solicitor, and they will usually only be able to instruct me on your behalf if they have authority for leading counsel from the legal aid agency (only granted in complex cases).

If you are a Litigant in Person (someone dealing with a court case without a lawyer), or if you are considering going to the Family Court you might find my book “The Family Court without a Lawyer – A Handbook for Litigants in Person” (4th Edn, Bath Publishing) helpful. The book explains how the courts work, and sets out the law and practical guidance in relation to cases about children, divorces and what happens about money and property when couples separate.

You can buy a copy of the book here.
