When I started out it was in a general high street practice where you were expected to deal with anything that turned up. That meant I dealt with family matters, neighbour disputes, criminal matters, conveyancing, injury cases literally anything.
Over the years the profession has become more specialised and now my work covers two main areas - Family (that includes divorce, separation, children, financial disputes and child care) and wills, probate and lasting powers of attorney.So often people feel trapped in a relationship that they cannot get out of and stay together through fear, inertia, for financial reasons or because they believe that its best for the children.

There can be a great deal of confusion about exactly what is meant by Separation Agreements (sometimes referred to as a Legal Separation), Clean Break Order or a Consent Order. In a nutshell, a separation agreement or consent order is all about reaching and signing an agreement with your spouse or partner to determine the best and most fair financial settlement between the two of you that is binding.
The ending of a relationship often brings with it questions and uncertainties and financial settlement (money and property) is one of the main issues to be resolved. There can be questions about what will happen to the family home: will it have to be sold or who will live in; if it has to be sold what will happen to proceeds; where will I live?

Just had one off consultation so far that’s why it’s not a 5 star. mark and a trainee where very clear, no nonsense, gave me my options to allow me an informed choice in a complex case. they didn’t chase the buck so to speak and seemed to want best interest for me n my kids. i have things i have to do now, but won’t hesitate on using this team to represent me in my coming legal battle. ps cost £60, other company’s wanted £240 for same service!

If you're female you'll be ok with these people
If your male and are trying to protect your children, you don't stand a chance
Told to be greatful you can see your children at all
Don't contest anyone or anything who wrongfully categorise you as being the lesser parent because you're male
They dont respond to emails requesting advise over very real concerns for children
Left feeling defenceless, due to lack of professionalism and consideration
Their Motto appears to be, I'll take the money and pretend to care, they will most certainly not defend you, or fight your corner, no they can't do

I previously lost my son to forced adoption the solicitors I had at the time told me to keep my mouth shut so I did and that resulted in me losing my child now I’ve Got Elisabeth from here as my solicitor met her yesterday and she told me to speak up in the meetings and gave me advice that left me feeling less anxious about the whole situation I’d definitely recommend her if you have problems with social services I’ve had different solicitors before and none of them were as professional or as helpful as Elisabeth she left me feeling confident and reassured that I actually have a chance against

I came to Higgins Miller as I was moving in with my boyfriend. Me and my boyfriend are not married and I can’t see us getting married anytime soon. I wanted to know what my options were when buying a house with someone I’m not married to and they suggested a cohabitation agreement. All of the staff were friendly and offered me all the advice I needed. I would definitely recommended Higgins Miller to anyone looking for professional legal advice and support at an affordable cost.

Great experience with Higgins Miller. Recently went through the probate process for my grandfather and have to say they were amazing. The team I spoke to were quick, professional and actually spoke to me like a person rather than someone that understands all the legal side. I would have no problem recommending Higgins Miller. Thanks guys.
