From first speaking to Dave I knew we had made the right choice as a family for the best support throughout family court. Dave listens, writes and understands extremely well and is always very professional in all aspects. Dave was always there for reassurance and made a difference to our lives and helped guide us through one of the most difficult times. We cannot recommend him enough! If you need support and reassurance northern family law is the support you need. Thankyou for everything ❤️

David helped me out when I needed to get a Child Arrangements Order when I moved to a different part of the country. Me and my ex could not agree on a plan so he made the application for me, went to court with me and helped secure a new contact arrangement for me and my child.

I was in an abusive relationship. I was quoted thousands of pounds by a firm of solicitors to go to court to try and get protection. I couldnt afford this. David did the work with me for much less. He wrote the application with me, wrote my witness statement with me and came to court with me. I got the protection I needed. Recommend him. He is very understanding, friendly and writes very well. I could not have done this without him. Thank you !
