Family Law Executive at Wollens

Cate Jewell

Family Law Executive

I have re-joined Wollens as a member of the Childcare Team having experience in this field of law of over 16 years. I represent parents in pre-proceedings (PLO) with the local authority and within complex care proceedings through the Family Court as well as advising grandparents who seek to care for their grandchildren. I also represent parents who face allegations of physical, sexual and emotional abuse of their children, with parents dealing with mental health issues, alcohol and drug dependency and with parents who have learning disabilities or learning difficulties. I have experience in representing parents who require the added support and representation from the Official Solicitor and who would be considered a protected party. This can be quite complex and require attuned representation but is something that I particularly enjoy within my role as a parent lawyer. I undertake my own advocacy at meetings and at Court hearings. I have also built up excellent working relationships with barristers specialising in this work, along with other professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, intermediaries/advocates and support workers which enables me to form the most appropriate support and advice network for the parent that I am assisting.

Absolutely fantastic

Cate was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. I am so so grateful to Cate and the barristers that I worked with. She was amazing at getting back to me fast and making sure I was calm and understood everything. I can’t thank Cate and her team enough. Knowing I had an amazing legal team really helped me feel supported and confident.

Absolutely fantastic!! Cate Jewell is an amazing solicitor. Throughout my rather complicated family law case she was amazing..

Cate Always made sure I understood everything clearly and was always only a phone call/email away.

Cate is extremely knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to recommend both herself and wollens.

She guided me through from start to finish and made sure we achieved my desired outcome (which we did).

Cate went above and beyond to settle my case and was simply brilliant throughout.

Brilliant

Cate and Rachel was brilliant in dealing with my case which lasted over 18 months.

I never had any legal dealings before and I felt looked after by Cate and her team.
They always responded in a kind and professional manner and was supportive the whole time.

I will always speak highly of this company and would use again and recommend to others

Cate

Early days with Cate as my solicitor but she’s always extremely helpful, straight to the point and listens.
I feel much more supported by Cate than my previous solicitor and really appreciate the work Wollens put in to make sure there is as little change as possible. I’m also really appreciative that Cate has managed to be an advocate for me during meetings that have caused me distress. Would highly recommend!
