Sometimes family life isn't as straight-forward as we'd like it to be. We understand that with issues so close to home, you need someone you can trust to help you put things right. Whether you're worried about your children or relationship, or you feel you need more protection of your assets, our expert lawyers are on-hand to guide you through the process.
When a relationship breaks down and there are children involved, it can become stressful and overwhelming. Separation affects every child differently and our experienced lawyers are sensitive to the need to keep the children at the centre of any decision made. Every family is different, so we take the time to understand what will work for yours.
The breakdown of any relationship, or the thought of it, can be upsetting or frightening for everyone involved. We understand that a divorce involves high levels of emotions - especially if there are children involved, so we aim to support and steer you through this difficult time in the most cost and time-efficient way possible.
Untangling your finances following a divorce or separation can be a daunting and complex part of the process, so it's essential to find a lawyer who can help you and your spouse reach a clear and fair agreement. A financial settlement is a legally binding agreement that allows you and your spouse to split your assets fairly.
Family matters where there is an international element can be complicated, overwhelming and stressful; so it is important to get guidance from an experienced lawyer you can trust. Our specialist Family Team has many years' experience working with families where one or both spouses/parents live or have a connection with different parts of the world.

I recently appointed Nockolds to represent me on a charge for something I was implicated in by circumstance.
My solicitor was Daniel Hart and I can't speak highly enough of his professionalism and ability to make me feel at ease throughout the entire process.
He was very adept at dealing with all aspects of my case in an extremely thorough manner, but still finding a way to keep me well informed of all the complexities in a clear and understandable way.
Thanks to his advice and hard work, the prosecution dropped the charge against me and a judge awarded me a not guilty verdict in Crown Court

Excellent solicitors! I have used them to purchase two houses now and find them to be incredibly supportive and pro active. This may be seen as a small thing but i think one of their biggest strengths is that they respond to emails quickly and keep the flow of information progressing as much as possible. Whether that's chasing/dealing the other parties or updating me on progress I always know that i will get a swift response and regular updates. As a customer i think this is a massive strength for any company to have in this digital age!
I will continue to use this firm for any and all of my legal

This was the first time I have purchased a property so I had very limited knowledge of the whole process. The Solicitor dealing with my purchase was James Gostling and he was extremely helpful with answering all of my questions (believe me there was a lot). He made it all very simple and as stress free as possible throughout the entire process and broke down the steps in detail so I knew exactly what was happening at all times. He was very efficient and would definitely recommend! Thanks!

I used Nockolds in order to give Power of Attorney to my friend in Portugal in order for her to sell my house.
I can honestly say that I have rarely received better service in any walk of life. They were efficient, knowledgable and extremely nice to deal with.
Nothing was a problem for them, including telling them that we wanted the documentation signed off by the Portuguese Embassy and delivered to Portugal in 48 hours from the time of our affidavit in their office. They fast tracked the paperwork and everything arrived as promised on time.
On top of all that they completed the work for a fraction
