Before we can discuss your situation with you, we’ll need to run a conflict check. This just means checking that we’re not already acting for, or talking to, another party in your situation.

We will book in a free consultation at a time that suits you. You can have your consultation in person, via video call, or over the phone.
What happens next is up to you. You can get started on the next steps right away, or take some time to think about it, or decide that the next steps aren’t for you. No pressure, no fuss.
We believe that no matter how complex or emotional your family situation is, you deserve a calm, clear and personal legal experience. Whether you’re separating, planning for your future, or making arrangements for your children, we tailor our advice around you, with a focus on fairness, support, and practical results.
Separation is personal, and your legal service should be too. Whether you’re choosing a no-fault divorce or working through more complex decisions, we support you with structured legal guidance that gives you clarity and control from the very beginning.
Our firm works in an integrated, seamless structure. This means that if you’re planning for a divorce and need to sell a property or update your Will, all of our departments will work together and rally around you to support you in every way we can.
We will do everything we can to help you move into the next phase of your family’s future, however sometimes a little extra help might be needed. We’ve researched local charities and support organisations who can offer an extra pair of helping hands. Ask your lawyer and they’ll be able to guide you.
We offer a free initial consultation and clear guidance on a joint application divorce process, with step-by-step legal advice on your application, Conditional Order, and Final Order

Choosing the right solicitor for your family law needs, whether navigating separation, child arrangements, or financial settlements, is about more than just legal expertise, it’s about finding a team you can trust to guide you through life's challenging transitions with empathy, structure, and genuine support.
Personal, Compassionate Service
We understand that navigating family matters can feel overwhelming and deeply personal. Our team prioritises taking the time to listen, explain legal complexities clearly, and provide supportive guidance to make the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible for you.
Focus on Future Well-being
Beyond resolving immediate legal issues, our aim is to help you and your family build a positive future, whether that involves co-parenting arrangements that prioritise children or securing financial stability for the next chapter of your life.
Structured, Modern Approach
We offer a modern and well-structured approach to family law, utilising efficient workflows and clear communication to ensure you understand each step and feel confident in the progress of your case.
Clear, Fair Fees
We believe in transparent and fair pricing. We strive to offer fixed fees where appropriate and ensure you have a clear understanding of the costs involved at every stage of your family law matter.
We understand that making the first move can feel overwhelming. Many of our clients worry about causing conflict, about costs, or simply about coping with the stress of it all. That is why we have created a more structured, supportive way to approach separation. One that prioritises understanding, clear options, and the future of everyone involved.

The Mirror Guy, Firm Review
Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....
Brian, Firm Review
Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.
Chris, Firm Review
I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.
Manuel, Firm Review
Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.

When we were sorting out the kids, I really felt heard and valued by the team. They listened to what I wanted and what was best for my children, which meant a lot.

Honestly, they were really supportive during my whole divorce. It was a horrible time, but I felt like they were on my side and explained everything so I understood it.

Yes. One of the key benefits of the new law is that couples can now make a joint divorce application. Lyons Bowe helps clients whether applying individually or jointly, ensuring the process is fair and in line with UK legal requirements.
