Family
Hilary Escott is a member of the Law Society Family Law Panel and has considerable experience in dealing with matrimonial work including Divorce, Judicial Separation, Separation Agreements and Ancillary matters. At a time when relationships are under stress we try to settle matters as amicably as possible and to avoid the need to resort to Court Hearings if at all feasible. It helps to have someone who is independent and not emotionally involved looking at the facts and trying to obtain the best and fairest result available and ensuring that agreements are placed on a formal footing by way of Court Order where appropriate.
