Experience

Prior to joining Emin Read I obtained 9 years invaluable experience at a high street law firm, specialising in Family Law. I joined Emin Read in 2018 to jointly head up the Family Law department, with Laura Sherlock.

I am approachable and offer sound and reassuring advice. I aim to reduce the stress that clients can often feel at a time when they feel most vulnerable. I strive to build good relationships with my clients and provide clear, concise advice. I strongly believe in conducting matters in a constructive and non-confrontational way where possible, but will engage in tough negotiation where necessary.  I have a strong understanding of family law and how this can be used to benefit my clients.

I offer advice on a wide range of matters, including:

  • Divorce & Dissolution
  • Breakdown of relationship and separation
  • Nuptial Agreements (Pre and Post)
  • Separation Agreements
  • Cohabitation and Agreements
  • Arrangements for Children
  • Parental Responsibility and Guardianship
  • Financial Remedy
  • Domestic Abuse and Injunctions
  • Trust Deeds

We offer a free 30 minute consultation to provide general advice and guidance, or a fixed fee appointment for 60 minutes, where we are able to provide more specific advice relating to your matter. We offer flexible appointments, such as early morning, evening or weekend appointments if needed.

I’d just like to thank you for your help and support last year sorting things between myself and my ex. Without you I don’t think I would be in the position I am in to move on and indeed move out into my new place. Your professionalism and assurance were second to none. Thank you so much again.

My wife & I are so happy not only with the outcome but the service we had during our recent application for a Special Guardianship Order.  The pressure this brought out not only financially but emotionally with so much stress, the help of the team reassuring us throughout when we needed it so much not knowing what to expect when dealing with a minor were second to none.  We can only say a big thank you to Laura!

I really want to thank Laura & Claire for their amazing support and professional service during the hardest time of my life. Everything was explained clearly and advice given on my best options. Calls and emails were consistently replied to promptly and they were both always approachable and understanding especially during stressful situations. I really can’t thank you enough.

Claire and Laura provided an excellent service. They are very quick, personable and made me feel at ease during a difficult time. I was offered a free face-to-face appointment, their terms of service and a time frame up front, plus their advice in writing which was very helpful and made me feel supported. A very thorough service and I would highly recommend their services at Emin Read.
