Our Approach

Our Family Law Service has established a significant reputation throughout the region for its specialisation in legal problems related to the family, and its sympathetic and practical approach to seeking the most sensible and realistic solutions.

The Specialist Family Law Service at Nowell Meller is now the largest team of dedicated family lawyers in Staffordshire and is earning a regional reputation for its expertise in handling the legal problems that arise when relationships breakdown and families split up.

Following our merger with Arthur Boulton, the family law team now includes four Directors and five other solicitors. Most of the solicitors are accredited specialists in his or her chosen fields of work spending every day working in family law and regularly appearing in our local courts. The solicitors are backed by a team of fourteen closely-supervised paralegal and support staff using the latest in case management and information technology. It is the sum total of this experience that you gain access to when you seek help from them.

Neil Robinson, who heads the team, is an experienced children lawyer and mediator. Neil is also Director of The Mediation Centre, run by Nowell Meller, which is recognised as being one of the most successful family mediation services in England. The workload of the Centre has risen by over 50% in the last 12 months as the importance of mediation as a real alternative to the traditional court battle becomes recognised.

Being fully committed to the Resolution Code of Practice that supports a sympathetic and practical approach, the Family Law Service is usually able to help its clients to seek a sensible and realistic solution to their problems without costing the earth. We hold the Legal Service Commisison’s Specialist Quality Mark for Family Law and the Service is now recommended by The Legal 500.
