Also, to assist clients to find the best solutions for their family law issues in a way that is child-focused, cost-effective and as un-traumatic as possible.

An example of the progressive approach of Ian Walker Family Law and Mediation Solicitors is that the practice has always published its charging rates on their website https://familylawandmediation.co.uk/payments-2/these charges are consciously lower than comparable city centre practices. However, if clients are concerned for some reason that the firm’s charging rates are not high enough, there is an ongoing offer in the firm’s fair charging policy https://familylawandmediation.co.uk/payments-2/fair-charging-policy/ to price match a more expensive charging rate and donate the difference to a children’s charity.

Ian Walker Family Law and Mediation Solicitors have quickly developed one of the most experienced teams of family Law solicitors and divorce lawyers in Somerset and Devon. In addition to Ian Walker and David-Howell Richardson, two of our other family Law solicitors and divorce lawyers have been partners and head of family law and divorce at their previous Devon practices, namely; Kim Stradling and Sandy Powell.

There are currently 7 specialist family Law solicitors and divorce lawyers in the team at Ian Walker Family Law and Mediation Solicitors, but there are already plans in place which should see this rise to 9 specialist family Law solicitors and divorce lawyers by early 2019. This will make the team one of the largest specialist teams of family Law solicitors and divorce lawyers in Devon and Somerset, assisting clients from its offices and consulting rooms in Exeter, Taunton, Honiton and Yeovil.

The practice has a well-regarded website https://familylawandmediation.co.uk/ which includes lots of useful information about family law, child law, divorce, family mediation and family law arbitration. The website includes pages with helpful advice to assist clients to choose their best divorce lawyer https://familylawandmediation.co.uk/family-law/divorce/best-divorce-lawyer/ and about what to do if social services have concerns about parenting https://familylawandmediation.co.uk/what-to-do-if-social-services-have-concerns-about-your-parenting/
