 Family Law Since its foundation in 1969, Coupe Bradbury have specialised in family law, representing clients in all courts from the Family Proceedings (Magistrates) to the House of Lords. The reputation of the firm in delivering a high quality of advice and service has resulted in our being consulted by clients throughout the world be they of modest means or high net worth. Coupe Bradbury recognise that Family Law is a complex and ever changing area of law, which is affected by statute and case decisions, the amount of which is considerable. We have invested heavily in technology in order to help provide the best possible advice to our clients. At the same time we are always conscious of the trauma that family breakdown can cause and we aim to resolve the issues as quickly and effectively as possible but always bearing our client's best interests in mind. Client's will be seen in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere when each stage of their matter will be discussed and all the options available explained. The Family Law department will provide advice on all areas of family life, including Civil Partnerships, including the following: Please use the sub menu on the left to find out more about how we may be able to help in each of these situations. Coupe Bradbury provides a free law clinic on Wednesday evenings from 5.00pm until 6.30pm, when advice regarding family and matrimonial issues can be given. During that time, we can explain to you the aspects of family law which are relevant to your case. We can also advise you on the steps that you will need to take next. We will advise you about the costs involved and will assess your eligibility for public funding. At the end of the meeting, it will be your decision whether you wish to instruct us to act on your behalf and, if so, what action you wish us to take. Costs Costs are calculated on a time basis. Depending upon financial circumstances, will determine whether or not a client is entitled to public funding (legal aid). If they are not so entitled, then the funding of the action will have to be met personally. The initial meeting may be undertaken on a "no obligation" basis. This means that if you do not want to proceed beyond the initial meeting then it will not cost you anything. However, if you then want to instruct us beyond that meeting your bill will include the time taken at the initial meeting. Advice will be given at the outset concerning the funding of matters. If eligible for public funding, forms will be completed and advice will be given as to the financial implications. It should always be remembered that public funding does not necessarily mean that it is free. For those clients paying personally, charging rates will be advised and methods of payment which will enable the client to fund the matter will be discussed.
