I was very pleased with the service I received from Family Law Partners. I was particularly impressed with the speed of response and professionalism Chris maintained in frustrating circumstances and even when unprofessional responses were received from other solicitors.

Excellence
Testimonial – Peter Ellis
Over the past 25 years, I have instructed approximately 13–14 different matrimonial solicitors, including several prominent, London-based firms. Sadly, my experience with many of them was marked by a frustrating lack of care, professionalism, and, in some cases, outright ineptitude. Too often, I encountered what I can only describe as calculated, fee-generating practices that offered little value and even less empathy — a sentiment I know is echoed by many others in similar positions.
It was on the recommendation of a trusted friend — who knew all too well my disillusionment with the legal profession — that I contacted Family Law Partners (UK) Ltd in Brighton. I initially hesitated, especially when asked to provide an extensive amount of personal information at the outset. However, with hindsight, I now see this as a logical and efficient step — a refreshing contrast to the endless back-and-forth that often serves little purpose beyond inflating bills.
My principal contact, Lisa Burton-Durham, was a revelation. Pragmatic, realistic, and acutely cost-conscious, she focused not on prolonging the process, but on achieving a timely and sensible resolution with minimal stress. Her approach was intelligent and straightforward, marked by joint strategic planning and open consideration of all possible outcomes. This collaborative process not only saved time and money but also ensured a level of clarity and direction that had been sorely lacking in my previous dealings with other firms.
In short, Family Law Partners delivered exactly what I had hoped for: a service that was transparent, fair, and grounded in both experience and understanding. I was charged reasonably for a result that met my expectations — something I genuinely doubt would have been possible without their involvement.
I would urge anyone navigating the complexities of family law to exercise caution when choosing representation. In my experience, Family Law Partners (UK) Ltd stands apart — and I am grateful to have finally found a team that delivers on its promises.
