The ‘superb team’ at Cambridge Family Law Practice ’clearly know the inner workings of the court system’ and offers advice on all aspects of relationship breakdown. A diverse client base from across East Anglia and further afield instructs the group on matters requiring advocacy at court, day-to-day representation in dispute resolution processes, or traditional negotiation. Key contacts to note include: Kathryn Evans, a sought-after figure in the Cambridge legal community; Jeremy Ford, whose practice includes the rare specialities of surrogacy law, child abduction and medical treatment of children disputes; Tricia Ashton, who receives client acclaim for her ‘fierce sense of justice’, and Adam Moghadas, a collaborative family law practitioner and mediator.

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Very organised and good at communicating what is needed and when, always available for urgent matters and really good response times.’

    ‘Very focused on the actual issues at hand, providing the best advice they can in a way that we can understand the 'why' of it, avoiding the noise around issues and very friendly.’

    ‘This practice is clearly unique for the fact that it only handles family law. There is no doubt in my mind that the first-class service I received was in large part due to the fact that every lawyer at the firm lives and breathes family law and only family law. The collective experience of the firm is released through each individual lawyer, and for me, they are the best in class.’

    ‘My solicitor was Tricia Ashton, and she was absolutely superb in so many ways. Tricia genuinely cares, and she has a fierce sense of justice, fighting hard for what she believes is fair and achievable for her clients. She is also practical, and not afraid to set client expectations at a realistic level in the search for a way through the process.’

    ‘Superb team. Feel more like a really knowledgeable and professional friend providing you with support and advice. Clearly know the inner workings (good and bad) of the court system too.’

    ‘The friendly personal touch set them far apart from other organisations.’

    ‘I have been very satisfied with the advice and support I have had.’

    ‘My contact was mostly with Kathryn Evans and a little from administration and supporting staff. It was always efficient and effective, and attentive and polite. While the relationship with Kathryn is professional, she has also been friendly and supportive.’
