Speak to one of our Family Law Solicitors in Harpenden

If you need advice about divorce, separation, cohabitation, children or financial matters, our team is here to support you. When you contact us, your initial call or email will be handled directly by one of our family solicitors—not by a member of the support team. This allows the solicitor to gain an early understanding of your situation and ensures they are fully prepared for your fixed-fee meeting.

Book a Fixed Fee Meeting

We offer a Fixed Fee First Meeting, giving you a full hour with a specialist family lawyer. You’ll have the opportunity to explain the background, your priorities and any concerns. We will then outline your legal position and the options available to you.

In a small number of cases, a fixed fee meeting may not be suitable for your situation. If this applies, we will let you know during the initial consultation and guide you towards the most appropriate next steps

How much does a Fixed Fee meeting cost?

A 60-minute fixed fee meeting costs £150 plus VAT. To arrange an appointment in person, by video or telephone, contact our Family Law team on 01582 715234, emailing family@neves.co.uk or complete the form below and we'll get back to you.
