practised in Priory Street in Dudley, West Midlands. Originally
the workload of this firm was litigation based including Family,
Civil and Criminal Litigation. It undertook both private and Legal

proportion of the firms' workload since its inception.

undertake nothing but Agency Advocacy work.

up a substantial client base of Solicitors Firms who instruct
it on a regular basis. It represents the Clients of a number of specialist Family Law firms throughout the Midlands region in the areas Family Courts.
