Professional Negligence in Divorce – Expert Advice

Negligence in divorce proceedings and failure to correctly value pensions on divorce

Did you know, during divorce, many pensions have been undervalued by tens of thousands of pounds due to solicitors’ negligence? If you got divorced after 2000 and your ex spouse had a pension, you may have a claim for compensation against your previous solicitor for mishandling your case.

If you’re interested in getting the compensation you deserve, we can help. From us, you can expect:

• No contact required with your ex-husband or wife
• Highly skilled court advocates
• An understanding, pragmatic manner

No-one deserves to be given the wrong advice during a divorce settlement. It can be costly and have a negative effect on your future. But even if you feel you were misinformed, it can be difficult to raise a dispute with a professional. We can alleviate any further trauma and help you settle your case, drawing on our expertise as a specialist family law practice. We’ll make sure you have the best representation in any claim against a negligent divorce solicitor.
