We are used to advising clients in difficult emotional situations. We aim to provide sympathetic personal advice tailored to your individual circumstances and requirements. We offer prompt and practical advice on how to cope with problems and resolve them. 

Solving family law problems often involves many other aspects of the law. Our Family Team can call on the expertise of other departments within the firm whenever necessary to advise, for example, property issues or changing your will.

Our Family Team has considerable experience in advising and representing clients from all backgrounds with all types of problems and disputes. Both Julie-Ann Harris and Dawn Chisholm are members of 'Resolution' (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association) and Julie-Ann Harris is an accredited specialist in financial provision & cohabitation.

Frettens are pleased to offer a free initial consultation for all new clients. We have always offered this service because we recognise the importance for clients of deciding whether they can work with a particular solicitor and to find out more about the process and likely outcome. Our family lawyers offer positive, down to earth advice, and we hope that this initial meeting allows you the time to see this as well.

Contact a member of our Family Team to arrange a free initial appointment at either our Christchurch or New Forest office, where you will be able to meet your solicitor with no obligation or charge.
