Extremely happy with Lisa's continuous engagement throughout a very depressing time for myself. She provided much needed but firm encouragement even through limited responses from myself (losing hope). Fantastic result eventually obtained and I am certainly more than happy to recommend Lisa - Keep up the good work Lisa.

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.

Issues with Court Order Maintenance payments
I chose Lisa and Family Law Partners after considerable research as I believed she and her team had the experience and expertise my situation warranted. I found Lisa very approachable, refreshingly down to earth and reassuringly supportive. I felt confident she would do her best by me. She was, thankfully accessible and I found her consistent and considered in her responses. She helped me keep perspective during some very tricky times. Without hesitation I highly recommend.

Settling a Long Standing Divorce Issue
Lisa provided excellent advice in managing a long-standing issue over divorce maintenance payments. She was persistent in getting a conclusion, and was very professional in handling a difficult solicitor on the other side. Her advice and approach to settlement was clear and I was given the confidence to pursue my case. A satisfactory settlement was achieved and I can now get on with the rest of my life. I am very glad I selected this legal firm to resolve my divorce issues.

My complex financial situation during a divorce
Very professional and efficient. Felt like I was in safe hands throughout. Listened well and responded to all my requests sympathetically. Dealt with quite a few paralegals but all were well informed of my complex situation and able to assist.

Compassionate approach
I cannot thank you enough for your support over the last few years. It has been a prolonged and distressing process, but you kept me sane in the darkest periods, and I am very grateful for your no-nonsense but compassionate approach, which made it all a bit easier to cope with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Although I wouldn't wish the situation on my worst enemy, you help make it less traumatic
