About us

Since the beginning of our journey, we have continually grown and expanded to become one of the South West’s leading family law firms. Our team now includes over 30 experienced lawyers and legal professionals working together to deliver the highest quality service to our clients.

We practice exclusively family law, meaning that we have the depth of knowledge and experience needed to handle the most involved cases. Our goal is to resolve family disputes in the most resolution-focused and least stressful way possible. To do this, we adopt problem-solving strategies to achieve the best outcomes for our clients. In cases where children are concerned, we always keep their welfare and safety as the fundamental principles guiding our approach.

Our values and approach

We know that every client is different and every case is different. Your voice is important to us, which is why we do not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, our lawyers will use their expertise to tailor their legal advice to the specific person and case that they are working with.

At Walker Family Law our mission is to set standards of excellence in our practice of family law, in how we look after our clients, in how we engage with our team members, and in how we engage with the world around us.

One of our core values is how we act as not just a family law firm, but as a trusted partner to each and every one of our clients, helping guide people through some of the hardest decisions. This is reflected in our approach, which is considered, confidential and places your needs at the forefront.

Commitment to client care

• Clear communication at every stage – We keep you informed throughout, explain your options clearly, and ensure you understand each step of the process.
