Our reputation is built upon the fact that we care about the outcome for our clients.

DIVORCE AND FINANCE MATTERS
Nobody enters into a marriage expecting to separate and have to go through a divorce. At Levins Solicitors we recognise that any divorce or separation is a stressful and very emotional time for everyone involved.
Whether you are considering taking the difficult step of beginning divorce proceedings or your spouse has issued proceedings against you, our team of experienced lawyers are here to help and advise you on all aspects of the divorce procedure and process.
We will help you to understand your options and we will be there to support and guide you every step of the way from the first meeting through to the final resolution.
CHILD CARE PROCEEDINGS
We understand that when it comes to children, dealing with legal issues can be an extremely emotional and upsetting time for parents. The process can feel very daunting and you are likely to be unfamiliar with what will happen or what your options are.
Our specialist childcare lawyers are very experienced and work tirelessly to help keep families together wherever possible. Our compassionate team will listen to your story and ensure you and your child get the support you need, guiding you through this difficult time.
Family Law Solicitor Liverpool: When social services have become involved it is very important to move quickly, that it why it is important to contact a solicitor as soon as possible.
Non-Molestation Orders
What is a Non-Molestation Order ?
Many people who are victims of domestic abuse don’t know where to turn to protect themselves from being abused.
One of the options available is to apply for an injunction against the abuser. An injunction is a court order which protects you or your child from being threatened or harmed. The injunction either requires the person to do something or in many cases prohibits them from doing something. For example, the injunction might say they cannot contact you.
