Hegarty Helping Hand scheme

£90 fixed fee appointments with our family lawyers

If you are experiencing problems at home, whether it be child contact issues or you are separating from your partner or spouse, this is undoubtedly a distressing time for you. You may find that expert advice can help ease your mind a little. You may wish to find out what your options are before taking any further action.

We understand that for some people the thought of seeing a lawyer can be daunting and may seem expensive, particularly if you are undecided if you will take any further action.

The family lawyers at Hegarty LLP, under the new Hegarty Helping Hand Scheme, are offering fixed fee appointments for initial advice for just £90 including VAT.

To make an appointment simply contact Wendy Grey if you live near Peterborough or Sarah Dawson if you live near Stamford.

Support from experienced solicitors for divorce and all aspects of family law

When problems such as divorce or separation arise in families, they can be understandably distressing. As a result, you may find it hard to concentrate on legal technicalities, or details that may be important. Speaking to someone who will understand your situation and the way you feel will help.

Within our large family department based in Peterborough and Stamford, we have lawyers who specialise in most areas of family law. Most of the team are members of Resolution (formerly known as Solicitor's Family Law Association), and at Hegarty we always follow their Code of Practice that promotes a non-confrontational approach to family problems and that encourages solutions that consider the needs of the whole family - and in particular the best interests of children.
