Close Thornton has a long tradition of specialising in family law with a team of lawyers who provide a professional service. We appreciate that family matters can be stressful. Your case will be dealt with in an expert yet sympathetic manner.

We undertake all types of children’s work including care proceedings, residence and contact disputes, parental responsibility and child abduction.

The family law department is headed by John Lewis who has an excellent and longstanding reputation, having practised in London, North Yorkshire and County Durham. He is an advanced member of the Law Society Family Panel and a member of Resolution, an organisation of family lawyers dedicated to taking a non-confrontational approach to family problems. John is committed to providing a caring and personalised family law service to all of his clients.

We hold a franchise in family law and are contracted by the Legal Services Commission to provide free legal advice in appropriate cases. We will always consider your eligibility for public funding.
