- We promise to ensure our fees are always transparent, fair and never inflated. We do not place emphasis on solicitor targets, meaning unethical time-recording is avoided and each fee earner is focused on achieving results, rather than filling their time sheets.
- We offer a city level service at very competitive rates. We have modern and convenient office space in Richmond upon Thames and access to multiple meeting rooms across central London and nationally. We are happy to travel/ arrange meetings close to where you live or work. By lowering our overheads in this way, we can provide direct savings to our clients without compromising our high level of service and efficiency.
- We want you to be in control of your legal costs, without any nasty surprises. We work with a range of trusted experts to help navigate your particular circumstances and to reduce overall costs, including divorce consultants, family therapists and financial advisors.
- We will arrange an initial, no obligation 30-minute consultation for all qualifying new clients – usually via video link but this can also be arranged in person.
- Transparent and competitive costs estimates will be provided at the outset and throughout your matter setting out the likely costs you will face.
- In some instances, fixed fees can be arranged.
- Invoices are typically sent monthly, to assist in financial planning and budgeting around other costs and outgoings.
- Each invoice will include a clear breakdown of the tasks undertaken and time spent on your case.
- If appropriate, we can help you source legal fee funding by way of a litigation loan or from your spouse/partner via a Legal Services Order.

If you receive an email informing you that our bank account details have changed, please contact helen.wilby@clarencefamilylaw.co.uk as soon as possible.

❝I used Helen and her team in a family matter, with a particularly difficult, unrelenting mother. I specifically wanted representation from someone local, from a team I could meet with in person and travel to and from court with together. My case dragged on and on, and Helen was always there, offering excellent legal advice but emotional support too throughout a process fraught with angst. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarence’s services.❞
