It is a fact of life that many marriages now end in divorce which can be a painful and stressful process for everyone involved. At Hay & Kilner, we have one of the leading Family Law teams in Newcastle upon Tyne. We provide legal advice in a practical and understanding manner to achieve a prompt settlement with the minimum amount of emotional stress. Independently researched legal guide, The Legal 500 praises our family law team for its ‘holistic and well-organised approach.’ Nicola Matthews is recommended for financial and child-related cases, while Robert Hart is described as ‘one of the best practitioners in the North East.‘ The ‘well-regarded’, Jacqui Slater is noted for her experience on cases involving mental health issues.
We also hold a Legal Aid franchise for family work so are able to represent publicly funded clients at our Wallsend branch.
