Why Choosing A Local Firm Makes A Difference

While a good deal of divorce work can now be handled remotely, there is real value in instructing a firm rooted in your own area, because a local solicitor is easier to deal with and better placed to understand the community you live in. Some key advantages tend to be:

Accessibility – a nearby office means you can call in to sign documents, drop off paperwork or sit down face to face when you would rather not deal with something over the telephone, which matters a great deal during financial disclosure and when dealing with sensitive topics.
Part of the local community – a firm that has practised in the area for years knows the local courts and how they work in practice, which helps when a case needs to be listed and moved forward.
A friendly and personal service – when you select a local firm, you are far more likely to deal with the same familiar faces throughout, rather than being passed between offices or call centres in different parts of the country.
Genuine client care – a local firm relies on its standing in the community and on personal recommendation, so there is every reason for it to look after the people it acts for.

Why Choose Birch & Co?

Our offices are based in Gosforth with parking at the rear of the building, and we are always glad to see clients in person, while remaining equally happy to deal with matters by telephone, email, or video call where that suits you better.

We have advised families across the region for more than thirty years, our team has extensive experience of the courts throughout the Northeast, and our commitment to providing excellent standards of client care is reflected in our five star rating on Google. We act for people throughout the Northeast and nationally, but the personal service at the heart of a local practice runs through everything we do.

What Can You Expect During A First Meeting With Our Divorce Lawyers?

During a first meeting with one of our experienced divorce solicitors, you can expect an honest assessment of your position, an outline of the realistic options, an indication of how long matters are likely to take, and a clear explanation of costs. We will take the time to understand your concerns and priorities and to explain in clear terms how we can help.

How Does Birch & Co Approach A Divorce?

The way a firm handles a divorce is just as important as its knowledge of the law. At Birch and Co, our approach is built around keeping conflict to a minimum wherever that is possible.

We do not treat court as the automatic starting point, because in most cases it is neither necessary nor in your or your family’s interests, and it can take a heavy toll on everyone involved, including any children. We are members of Resolution, the national organisation of family lawyers committed to dealing with disputes constructively, and that outlook runs through everything we do. We look first at whether matters can be settled through sensible negotiation, and we make good use of mediation and arbitration where they will reach a result more quickly and with less acrimony and cost than court proceedings.

This is not a reluctance to go to court when it is genuinely needed. Where litigation is unavoidable, we will represent you properly through it, drawing on our long experience of the courts across the Northeast.

What Do Our Clients Say?

The feedback we receive most often from our valued clients concerns how they were treated rather than the technical detail of their cases. People tell us that they felt listened to, that matters were explained in language they understood, and that the process was less intimidating than they had feared.

That reflects how we prefer to work. A divorce is a difficult period in anyone’s life, and the quality of the advice matters just as much as the manner in which it is delivered.
