The Group Hug Expert
Getting divorced, having a relationship and/or children issue are very personal things, and a lot of people ask, ‘why do people change solicitor?’
I am straight-talking, and some people either love or hate that type of solicitor, but during times of emergencies or crises (such as divorce), it is important to have that special bond with your legal advisor or divorce solicitor. Why change solicitor?
Maybe a divorce coach or counsellor could help you to deal with the emotional side of your divorce. You can find a coach or counsellor in THE HUG DIRECTORY

Or, if you are a litigant in person, make sure you get all the papers scanned over as soon as possible.
How I best help my divorce clients – by a family solicitor
Sometimes, a case just needs another pair of eyes to look over it: a barrister may be able to assist as part of the team. It could just be that another person could move it along more quickly.
It could be that action is needed to conclude matters
The most important thing is that you are happy with your solicitor, and that you have a good relationship with him/her.
As an example, I have often been contacted and have worked over the weekend to make an emergency application for a Children Act case.
How to approach the difficult ex
I once had a litigant in person (that was recommend to me), who called me, crying and asking if I would take their case on as they could not sleep, because of the endless emails or letters they were receiving.
If I can add value to a case, I will tell you
How to change your solicitor: Make sure your bill is up-to-date and paid and, if you have another solicitor, they will send over a notice saying that they are now instructed.

Sometimes there is no reason save the client and legal representative is just not the right fit.
