Family Solicitors in Hounslow

At Cartwright King, our family law team can provide video consultations and phone meetings, so you can access our support from wherever you are. We are committed to being inclusive and accessible to all clients, including those with disabilities, and will always work to accommodate your individual needs.

The purpose of a fixed fee family law consultation is for your solicitor to get acquainted with you and understand your family law needs in order to offer the best course of action for your case.

Once we have a basic understanding of your situation, we can offer professional advice on the available options for you and your family. If you wish, we can arrange a follow-up consultation where we can expand on our legal guidance.

Please note, our initial conversations will not include any detailed legal advice. They are offered on a “get to know you basis.”

Although it is not mandatory, having an accredited family law solicitor can significantly benefit your case, especially if the case is complex such as cases involving children.

A family law accreditation from the Law Society ensures that the solicitor is a specialist in the field of family law, ensuring their expertise and high standard of service.

Our family law accredited solicitors are able to use their specialist knowledge and experience to guide you through the legal procedures. They will gather necessary evidence, negotiate settlements on your behalf, and can represent you in court. An expert family law solicitor can help to reduce any conflict, ensuring that your rights remain protected.

At Cartwright King our family law team offers a transparent pricing model. Prices will vary depending on your case, and if you cannot find the right fee package here we can give you a quote over the phone.
