Ben Hoare Bell LLP Solicitors was established in 1979. Our 12 Partner firm now employs around 80 people across four offices in the North East of England. The firm has grown considerably and is now a well-known law firm both nationally and across the North East. The early and continuing aim of the firm is to provide high-quality advice and representation to individuals, including under the Legal Aid system in a clear, open and honest manner.
Ben Hoare Bell LLP is now one of the largest and foremost practices in the North East still specialising in Legal Aid. Over the last three decades we have built and maintained successful niche practice areas. We are proud to be LEXCEL accredited. The biggest concern for most people is the uncertainty of the cost of legal services.

Services
No one wants to think about their relationship coming to an end but with these sensible agreements the process can be stress free. Our childcare solicitors are members of the Law Society Children Panel, which denotes expertise in this area. Mark Harrison is a specialist Collaborative Family law practitioner and works towards reaching an amicable and non-confrontational solution.
Before entering a serious relationship such as marriage or a civil partnership you might be considering what you can do about your assets. Even though we hope there will be no breakdown in the relationship it is sensible to prepare for any eventuality. A prenuptial agreement could be a suitable option if you have substantial assets you want to protect or if there are children involved.
As Spain is a Hague Convention country you would be able to apply to have your children brought back to the UK. Child abduction law is very specialist and complicated. Therefore make sure that you seek advice from a specialist lawyer by asking the ICACU Panel or checking the Reunite International website.
Many couples in the UK that grow apart over the years or separate due to differences that are simply to hard to reconcile are not actually angry with each other. They simply wish to close this chapter of their lives and start the next one. Such couples may find a collaborative approach to divorce, assisted by our team of Family Law Solicitors in North East England, far more pleasant and cost effective than court proceedings.
This depends on two things. First of all whether you are financially eligible. If you have disposable income or capital above a certain amount you may not be eligible for legal aid. Secondly it depends on how serious the case is. For very minor criminal offences you are unlikely to be granted legal aid unless there are other circumstances which would entitle you to get legal aid.

Horrendous, fully given the run around for a week. Multiple agreements to contact me broken, one being arranging an initial advice appointment which never materialised.
Actually went to social services and had a chat getting one side of the story then neglected to get my side. Client care is non-existent avoid at all costs.

Booked an appointment over a week in advance, turned up an hour early with my wife in the pouring rain to be told that the Two different lawyers they had booked for my case had both found themselves running over, could l make another appointment, if I had done that they would have been expecting to bill me, I am just expected to believe the rubbish they come up with and walk away. If a law firm is this casual with an appointment then God only knows what they will be like with you case, avoid.
