Lucy is a Solicitor who qualified in May 2022. She is based at the Preston office, and specialises in all aspects of family law including Divorce, financial remedy, private Children Law Act matter and injunctions.

I split with the mother of my child in April and for a while she was making my relationship with my daughter extremely difficult. I had text messages ignored, access denied, abused, belittled and told that being a dad is just a title. Lucy was fantastic in the help and support she gave me throughout the whole proccess which was extremely stressful and in the end I was happy with the outcome and I now can be a father to my little girl. I never got the feeling I was being dealt with as 'just another client' and I felt there was a personal touch from Lucy which was huge in helping me.

Lucy Whittaker was extremely supportive throughout difficult/stressful proceedings. I received professional and sensible advice throughout. Lucy went above and beyond to get the best, child focused outcome for my little boy and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for everything you have done for my family. I would highly recommend.

Lucy Whittaker took on my divorce case, which was not an easy one. I appreciate her patience in persevering with my case especially when my ex did everything he could to make things difficult

From my initial contact in a family matter, my service, by Solicitor Lucy, Paralegal Jane, and finally Amy my Conveyancing Solicitor, was exemplary, the Barrister that was proposed, by Jane, was top drawer, and very down to earth.

I was most pleased with the final outcome, and strongly recommend this firm to anyone seeking family law resolution, and a full fixed fee conveyancing service, seamlessly in house, which was done in an efficient, and timely manner, by professionals, at all times. 5 star service all the way!
