Helen Oakes

Supervising Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a specialist family law solicitor practising in our Liverpool City office. I qualified as a solicitor in September 2000 and I joined National legal Service in January 2022. I have developed a wealth of experience previously working at firms on the Wirral, Cheshire and Liverpool. I specialise in dealing with divorce and dissolution matters together with financial matters resulting from divorce and relationship breakdowns. I handle domestic abuse and private children matters. I am a member of Resolution, a national organisation which promotes dealing with matters in a non-confrontational approach. I am also an accredited specialist with Resolution in private Children and Domestic Abuse. I am also a trained Collaborative Lawyer which is a type of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). The process involves individuals who wish to settle their matter without recourse to the Court each instructing a collaboratively trained solicitor with the work being conducted around the table instead of the traditional way of through correspondence.

2 months ago Absolutely Amazing service and I must give a special mention to two staff members especially Elizabeth hay &Helen Oakes who was my solicitor but she was not just a solicitor to me an advisor someone who takes great care and has such compassion with helen it's not just the about earning a living she actually really cares about her clients. I was going through a very difficult time and without helen it woukd have been much more difficult. I can not recommend these guys any more 5 stars doesn't really cut it. And they still continue to support me even after the closure of the file. Amazing Thanks National Legal Service you helped me change my life . Kevin Miller

Helen has been absolutely amazing throughout my case. She has helped to explain things clearly, the reasons why and quick to answer any questions/ concerns I have had. On some occasions when Helen has been unavailable, Emma has been my next point of contact, and she always dealt with my needs quickly and efficiently. They have been a great support throughout something that is very emotional and hard to deal with. I felt like I was listened to and I felt able to trust Helen, she is so dedicated and I would highly recommend NLS to anyone who needs representation in family court.
