A solicitor you can talk to like a person.

A small Edinburgh practice for family, property and executry matters. We keep the practice small on purpose, so the person you meet is the person who does the work.

Or ring the office on 0131 496 0184, Monday to Friday.

What we handle

Six kinds of problem, opened one at a time.

Most of what comes up the stair is a separation, a flat changing hands, or a will that nobody got round to writing. Tap an area to see what it actually covers.

All six in detail

  • Divorce on one year of separation with consent, or two without
  • Divorce on unreasonable behaviour, where it cannot wait
  • Separation agreements: the house, the pensions, the debts
  • Residence and contact for children
  • Cohabitants' claims under the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006, which die one year after separation
