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.

I’ve had so much help through you all and so much support, I couldn’t be more grateful, best solicitors about, thankyou so much
I contacted Wollens and I had Alicia Payne as my instructing solicitor. To say this lady was amazing is an understatement, she has all the qualities needed in these sensitive cases….. kind, understanding, compassionate and most importantly non judgmental. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitors firm or a better solicitor than Alicia. She calmed me when I was frustrated, she reassured me when I didn’t understand something and she never ever didn’t reply to my questions and emails.
Abbie was very friendly and professional. Nothing was too much for her and she responded quickly every time no matter how trivial
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.
