I recognise that each client has individual needs and make sure that I do everything possible to ensure that your case is dealt with as quickly as possible and with as little stress and upset as possible.
I will always attempt to achieve the best outcome for you without issuing Court Proceedings. However, if Court Proceedings are necessary I am an experienced litigator and will be able to see your case through to the end with you.
I have extensive experience in conducting care proceedings and other public law proceedings as well as Special Guardianship applications both freestanding and within care proceedings. If social services become involved with your child, we provide advice and representation to assist you during this difficult time.
Making the decision to separate or divorce is not easy, especially when there are children involved. You could be feeling a sense of shock, sadness or anger as well as worrying about how your separation will affect your children and relationships with family and friends. There are probably financial and practical worries bubbling away too. A distressing time becomes overwhelming if your ex-partner says they are going to stop you from having contact with your children. There are many reasons for this, and contact denial can happen at any time – not just immediately after separation or divorce.
Here we talk about what you can do to make sure child access arrangements are fair to everybody, and most importantly, that your children’s welfare is at the core.
The decision to divorce is never easy. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, whatever your circumstances. Being in a relationship can feel like a comfort blanket, and separation can leave you with a cold sense of loss. You might be scared about starting again on your own, or excited, or both. If you have children you’ll be worried about the impact on their wellbeing, and you may also be worried about child and financial arrangements.
QualitySolicitors Hopleys GMAI have employed the services of Kate before and returned because of how approachable she is. I liked the fact she has a good memory for personal details and is understanding. A good solicitor helps with the stress of proceedings and I would definitely recommend Kate both for her professionalism and positive attitude.

QualitySolicitors Hopleys GMAI was a family law client. I did not obtain what I sought, which was contact with my two daughters, through no fault of my solicitor. I was treated with the utmost care and kindness by Kate Jones and her team, and I believe she went above and beyond her duty in trying to help and to shield me. Also, Kate and her team ultimately believed in my good character, which meant so much.
