Transparent Costs

Clear pricing, honest support and reassurance.

When I went through the divorce process the worst part was the anxiety of receiving monthly invoices from my solicitor. The moment I decided to represent myself my anxiety and stress levels dropped dramatically and I could focus on the things that mattered for me and my wife. Navigating financial court hearings can be daunting and at times complex, but with a little support I believe most couple can reach a resolution without spending very high sums of money. I offer honest, real world, guidance at a flat rate and charged in 15 min increments. Helping you understand and organise documents without the mystery or legal jargon.

Simple Rates

You pay only for time I actually spend working.

I work for you, I am not in this to get rich, I am in it because after what I have been through, and witnessed, I believe all people need affordable support. I am happy to have an initial call with no charge. This gives you a chance to ask questions and see if we can work together. I will be clear and honest about any costs and my limitations.

My standard fee is £40 per hour.

There are no retainer fees or hidden costs, but I request the first hour to be paid in advance.
For all subsequent work, you only pay for the time I actively spend working on your case, tracked in 15-minute increments (e.g., 15 minutes of work equals £10).
To keep things simple and ensure no surprise bills, work is paid for in advance by purchasing time blocks (such as a 30-minute or 1-hour top-up). I will track my time down to the minute and let you know when your balance is running low. Payments are made safely via bank transfer.

Why I do this

When I went through my own financial divorce resolution, I chose to employ a very good law firm to represent me. I received good advice and support. Unfortunately by the time we reached the first hearing my legal bill was over £22k. I know first-hand the sleepless nights, the anxiety of watching monthly legal bills climb, and the sheer intimidation of the court system. Out of necessity I decided to represent myself as a Litigant in Person. I faced a traditional, slow-moving, and what appeared at times, obstructive law firm.

However, going through that process taught me a vital lesson: family law does not have to be a misery or a mystery.

By using logic, precision, and staying completely honest, I successfully managed my own high-value case. I tackled the complex Form E disclosure, mastered the court-mandated ES2 asset spreadsheet and faced some strong legal challenges. Many requiring urgent action and a personal visit to the court to hand file documents to the Judge. I stood my ground firmly but calmly during fairly intimidating court hearings.

I didn't win by playing aggressive legal games. I used solid arguments, backed with evidence in many forms. Note: I knew my evidence inside out.

After experiencing how stressful and unnecessarily bitter the process can become, I realised that self-represented people don't need expensive, hourly-billed lawyers to write letters for them. They need a practical guide. They need someone to take the flannel out of the paperwork, steady their nerves before a hearing, and help them focus on a fair settlement. That said, there are obviously cases where legal advice is absolutely necessary. Should that time come I would be the first to say seek the help of a qualified divorce solicitor.

That is why I started this service. I have walked this tightrope myself, and I am here to help you cross it calmly, affordably, and with your dignity intact.
