Private proceedings regarding: Child Arrangement Orders (Contact), Child Arrangement Orders (Residence), Prohibited Steps Orders and Specific Issue Orders. I also assist with domestic abuse matters, including: Non-Molestation Orders, Injunctions, Occupation Orders, FGM Protection Orders and Forced Marriage Protection Orders.

A Solicitor Who Makes a Difference!

I have been working with Lily Grimshaw for the past year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. She guided me through every step of my case with patience and clarity, always taking the time to explain things in a way I could understand. Her reassurance during stressful moments was invaluable, and I always felt that my concerns were heard and addressed. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I was able to regain my parental rights, and I truly felt supported throughout the entire process. lily is exceptional at what she does not just as a solicitor, but as someone who genuinely cares about her clients. I am immensely grateful for her guidance, support, and unwavering commitment.

Excellent support an guindance

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Lily for the support and dedication she is providing in this case, which is so important to me and the wellbeing of my children. I truly cannot find enough words to thank her for her help and the effort she puts into every step of the process. I understand that I am receiving assistance through Legal Aid and am not paying for it, but if I had the financial means, I would gladly pay the full cost, because for me there is no price for having this guidance and support in such a crucial matter as the protection and wellbeing of my children. Her professionalism, commitment, and constant care give me confidence that my children are being protected and that my concerns are being properly considered. I am extremely grateful and want her to know that I deeply value every effort she makes on my case. ---
