Building a relationship with your divorce lawyer

Divorce lawyers are specialists in family law. It may not be appropriate to use a solicitor that you used for something else, like your house sale, although there are firms who handle many different kinds of cases.

If you want legal assistance with your separation then look for a divorce solicitor in London who is trained in this area, like Saracens Solicitors.

How we can help

Once you find a divorce solicitor in London that you would like to work with, you will begin to establish a professional relationship with them.

At Saracens Solicitors, we know that, depending on the complexity of your case, we could be working with you for an extended period during sensitive negotiations. Even a simple divorce takes around six months, from beginning to end, to complete.

We work hard to gain a thorough understanding of your case and build your ability to trust us to act on your behalf. We adapt our communications to suit you as much as possible. If you prefer to be contacted by telephone, for example, we can do this in most situations.

What to do if you do not feel comfortable

In rare cases the chemistry between you and your solicitor may not feel right. If you are worried or feeling uncomfortable about the way a situation is progressing with your divorce solicitor in London, please talk to a member of our team.

We understand that divorce is a very personal and emotional situation for our clients and we want you to feel your needs are being met. We can make changes to help you feel better.

Understanding your situation

You need to be as frank as possible with us about your circumstances. We can only help if we know what you need. This includes details about your assets, children and any potential areas of conflict that you know will come up when dealing with your ex-partner. We communicate with their solicitor and the two firms act as a professional buffer between you both, whenever possible.

If contact is required to resolve certain matters, members of our team are skilled at mediation and conflict resolution. This means you can come out with an agreement that suits all parties without adding pressure to an already difficult situation.
