Divorce, separation, financial, children and family law specialists

Gillbanks Family Law are specialist lawyers in divorce, separation, financial, children and all aspects of family law in Suffolk. The company was founded in 2016 by family Lawyer Vanessa Gillbanks and is proud to offer practical advice and assistance based on many years’ experience.

We pride ourselves on giving you individual attention and personal service. You will deal with the same person at all times (except for billing and payment) which also means that you won’t have to  explain your case to several different people whenever you call.

What happens at the first meeting?

We will arrange an initial  meeting with you to find out  what help you need from us. It may just be a case of exploring where you stand legally or finding out what your options are.

How much does it cost?

For initial advice on family law related matters, including dispute resolution, we are happy to offer you an initial interview at a capped or fixed fee, which we’ll agree with you in advance.

Fee for ongoing work?

We tailor our fee system to suit your needs. Like most family law solicitors, we can offer hourly rates. If you need more certainty with fees and costs we are also happy to offer you fixed fees for certain stages of work, or types of family law applications. Fixed fees are payable upfront.
