### Speak to a member of the team

When you contact us about a protection matter, we deal with it as a priority. An experienced family solicitor will assess the urgency, advise you on the right order, and prepare and make the application for you, including at short notice where needed.

We will also look at what else needs to be dealt with, such as arrangements for the children, the home, or the financial position, so that the immediate steps fit with what comes next.

A senior member of our Client Relations team will be in touch within 2 hours.

All enquiries are handled with complete discretion.
