I specialise in family law, having trained at a top regional law firm and qualifying in 2010. In 2014 I moved to a firm in Buckingham as head of their Family Department before joining Neves in December 2021.

I am a specialist Family Law Solicitor with nearly two decades of family law experience helping individuals and families navigate Divorce, separation and complex children matters with clarity and confidence.

I now advise clients across a broad range of family issues with a focus on achieving practical, constructive outcomes during what is often a highly emotional time.

How I work with clients
I understand that Family Law matters are not just legal issues, they are deeply personal. My approach is:
- To be clear and pragmatic – cutting through complexity to focus on what matters.
- Being constructive where possible – helping clients avoid unnecessary conflict whilst aiming to keep their legal costs down.
- I am firm when needed – protecting your interests in more challenging cases.
Whether you are dealing with Divorce, arrangements for children or financial disputes, I aim to guide you towards a resolution that allows you to move forward with confidence.
What makes me human
I am a parent to two children so I understand first hand the challenges of balancing family life. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family, friends, reading and supporting charitable causes. I have previously undertaken pro-bono work with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, assisting individuals with family law issues.
Feedback for Tina
"Tina Shah was brilliant throughout my case dealing with very difficult circumstances. Her calm and reassuring approach took away a lot of the stress from the situation and she made sure I was kept up to date all the way through. She was clear with me about her costs and her assistant Sally was always very helpful. A great team to deal with if you are going through a family breakup. I would give 10 stars if I could I am so happy with how things worked out. Thank you"
Real Client Stories
How I can help your family move forward
Every family situation is different. Some of my clients want to keep things amicable from the outset, while others need firm decisive action to resolve more complex or urgent issues. The examples in the Family Law Case Summaries below reflect how I work to provide clear advice, practical solutions and focus on achieving the best possible outcome for you and your family.
Non Court Dispute Resolution (NCDR) offers various methods for resolving disputes outside of the Court process during a divorce or separation. These methods are often less adversarial, more cost effective and quicker than litigation. Below is an overview of the main NCDR options available to clients in family matters, including how they work.

I find Neves Solicitors extremely helpful, supportive and communicative and would highly recommend to others.
