Underwoods encourages a constructive and conciliatory approach to legal problems within families.

We do not do legal aid work nor free first interviews. If price is your main concern, we are not the firm for you. If peace of mind is important to you then we are definitely the firm for you.

Our initial consultation fee is £235 inc VAT. Any further costs will be advised to you at that meeting. Court fees are also payable. Where possible we will try to agree a fixed fee in relation to any other matters.

Modern family law is concerned with many more aspects of family life than divorce and its unhappy consequences: it looks to prevent rather than cure, by such means as:

• Agreements and trusts before marriage or civil partnership
• Agreements for people living together
• Pension provision
• Wills and inheritance tax avoidance or reduction

All work is done by qualified solicitors or trainee solicitors who are in formal training to qualify as solicitors. They used to be known by the better name of Articled Clerks.

We can help with

• Child maintenance
• Child residence, contact and specific issues

• Injunctions - Non-molestation, Asset-freezing, Protection from Harassment

You can pay online, by debit or credit card by phone or in person, as well as by cheque or by cash.
