Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Eligibility for Divorce, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Eligibility for divorce covers the basic legal requirements someone must meet before a divorce petition can be heard in England. It includes whether the parties are legally married and whether the petitioner has the appropriate connection to England and Wales, such as domicile or residency, to start proceedings here. A solicitor checks these rules, helps ensure a valid petition is filed, and explains what evidence is needed to establish the right to proceed.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The solicitor explains the critical time points and documents that confirm you meet the legal criteria to divorce, including marriage validity and your connection to England and Wales. They outline what evidence must be gathered and how defects could affect the petition, so deadlines and procedural steps are understood and protected from delays.

Melanie Hamer

Tagged solicitor Melanie Hamer

A family friend and several acquaintances recommended Melanie Hamer at Wendy Hopkins and I fully endorse their opinions as I am indebted to Melanie and her Team for taking on my case. I was unfortunately positioned by another Family Lawyer in a rather precarious position just weeks ahead of my FDR. It became apparent that my former legal representation were positioning to withdraw their support and would not meet to face-to-face to discuss strategy. Despite the complexity and longevity of the case, Melanie and her Team were able to reassure me that they could provide support and more importantly prepare for the FDR. At extreme short notice with 12 lever arch files to digest, Melanie and the Team reacted swiftly and successfully represented me at FDR. There were further legal quality gates that had to be navigated, yet the dedication, professionalism and competence demonstrated by Melanie and her Team ensured that we were fully prepared for Counsel briefings and were consequently able to deliver at Court. Melanie is an excellent listener, shows empathy for her clients and respected my opinions. Strategizing together was personally paramount throughout my litigation and Melanie had faith, belief and trust in my approach which was so important. Reassuring, tenacious, professional, knowledgeable, engaging and being prepared to meet in person were several of the attributes I appreciated from working with Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice. On reflection, I wish I had contracted Melanie and The Team from the outset of my case and I fully recommend them if you wish to work collaboratively, effectively and with a complete professional who is compassionate and reassuring

Lindsay McKinnie

Tagged solicitor Lindsay McKinnie

I cannot be more grateful to Lindsay, throughout a very distressing time. To say the least I would recommend her 100%! Her conduct was not only very professional, but kind and down to earth. She made my family feel valued and supported. Lindsays communication with us was constant, replying by text, when she was unable to speak directly, giving reassurance when needed. She communicated everything we needed to know, throughly & made sure everything was understood, at every point of her service. At no point did we feel that there were any concerns of neglect, towards us or the situation we were dealing with. Lindsay remained focused and gave us peace of mind. This meant so much & was so important. Thank you!

Leon Messam

Tagged solicitor Leon Messam

Leon Massan and his firm were absolutely brilliant. We had a really difficult experience with a different solicitor at the start, but Leon was completely different. His knowledge of family law was amazing, but what stood out most was how he used it – he was completely non-judgmental, took the time to acknowledge that I have autism, explained everything clearly in simple terms, and secured an outcome far better than I ever thought possible. He was humane, thoughtful and truly client-focused, putting my needs first every step of the way. I would recommend him and his firm to anybody and everybody. --- Thank you from all the family

Julie Summers

Tagged solicitor Julie Summers

Having moved solicitors in June 2022 due to poor service / relationship with first company / solicitor I was very pleased with the initial response and meeting with Julie Summers regarding my Divorce, she was extremely professional and supportive with a clear communication of what the future actions and process will be. Supported by Ambreen Mehmood the communication and clear friendly active support just made the process a lot less painful than could have been. The flow of information was timely and relevant, this helped me provide the correct information, that in turn allowed the process to flow smoothly. It was a pleasure to have had Julie represent me with all the support around

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

Having spent the previous 24 months going around in circles with another practice, it was a pleasure to be introduced to Michael at Stokes Partners who excelled in every sense of the word. From the initial phone call to the final email, his care, excellent advice and efficient service meant much more than words can ever express at a time when the family needed it most.
