The way to get legal advice is changing

  1. There is no more legal aid for most divorcing clients.*
  2. Fixed fees are making legal advice more affordable and easier to access.
  3. Solicitors now offer support to people who’d like to do some of the work themselves.

DIY divorce, we’ll check your paperwork for £350 + VAT

If you would like to do your own divorce then we can check over your draft Divorce Application and associated paperwork so that you can avoid problems when it is submitted to the Court.

Cases where there is some disagreement or delay

Once instructed, we charge hourly rates. We always explain our costs up front so that you know what to expect, and always with the goal of reaching fair agreements quickly.

Complex / high net value separation

If you’re facing a particularly difficult divorce then you’ve come to the right place. Our acknowledged experts advise on matters relating to high net worth separations including the resolution of family trusts and pensions, and the implications for public and private company owners. We recommend that you book an ‘initial review of your case’ to get you started. This is our £125 fixed fee appointment (plus VAT) which offers plenty of time to discuss the specifics of your case, and without any obligation for you to instruct Leonard Gray.

At present, VAT is 20%.

*Legally aided divorce

From April 2013 there was no more legal aid for divorce or disputes about children with the exception of special cases such as domestic violence. In those cases, we can recommend you to another firm in the area who offers legal aid.

**Free consultation

This offer does not extend to the Head of the Family Department.

Getting started

We would recommend that you have an informal chat with Mandy Saggers in the first instance on 01245 504904. We have a range of free initial consultations and Ana will be able to guide you to the right person at Leonard Gray for your case.
