Whether you’re in the first throes of a blossoming relationship or facing the prospect of an unravelling marriage, it’s a good idea to get early legal advice to protect your interests, as well as those of your children, if you have them.
Compassionate, sensitive yet sensible guidance can help you see the wood for the trees and decide what’s really important to you. We can set you out on the next stage of your life with confidence, for example with a pre-nuptial agreement. Or we’ll support you through your difficult journey, if you’ve decided divorce is the only solution.
We’re committed to helping you find the best outcome. Sometimes this means mediation or the collaborative law process rather than resolving disputes through the courts.
Our service covers the full range of family law and related issues.

Knowing that Lydia was behind through this whole experience gave me the courage and confidence needed to get through the process. Her knowledge and understanding of family law got me the best possible outcome.
Wollens is approachable and a welcoming and supportive space. This is especially important when dealing with family law, as these can be highly emotive cases.
Deborah Baker’s wealth of knowledge is evident in how she has dealt with my cases. Deborah is realistic, grounded and professional throughout, while also managing to be sympathetic, encouraging and supportive in moments where needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to take her advice.
A good firm with a range of quality solicitors
The team at Wollens are extremely approachable and knowledgeable and are keen to understand the needs of their clients. My experience is that they are inquisitive as to the ways which other professionals can help their clients achieve good outcomes.
Karen Miller and I have collaborated on complex family cases where multi-generational planning is involved and her approach has been truly open minded in how to best meet client needs. This is unusual in my experience, and it takes a lot of skill and understanding of the wider planning landscape to be able to adapt one’s thought process as the case progresses.
