Written by the company

Louise Halford and Robin Charrot set up Evolve Family Law in 2015. They both have many years of city centre family legal experience in large commercial firms and wanted to offer an alternative: family solicitors in Manchester who listen and guide, who are not hide bound by big firm procedures, who are approachable and accessible and who are specialist enough to know the law and their stuff but aren’t divorce divas.

Assistance through extremely worrying circumstances

My own personal case was extremely messy as I had separated from my wife several years previously and already paid her out as part of a separation agreement - she had however re-registered with Land Registry and wanted a second pay out.

Evolve and Robin were recommended to me and we set up a first meeting. Obviously the whole process is extremely worrying and very stressful and while it wasn't necessarily always what I wanted to hear Robin was very honest and provided all the relevant warnings about what could be from the outset, just as he should.

Since then he (and later Sarah) have carried out this case for me over the last year.

Robin, in particular was extremely challenging in dealing with my ex-wife's lawyers and pushed back continually rather than just give in to demands. We had meetings throughout the whole process and I was always in a position of understanding what could take place.

He is professional and extremely tenacious when he needs to be and while there were bumps in the road we got through it.

There are obviously unavoidable costs throughout, however I believe that with Robin's determination to get a result we got there in the end. I would not hesitate to use Robin if you are facing such stressful times.

Thank you so much Michael for such an informative review. We always adapt our approach to the needs of our client and their situation. Often, this means a friendly and collaborative attitude, but if we need to show some steel, then we will.

A Positive Experience

Selecting a family law firm to guide you through the difficult process of divorce is not easy. After some considerable thought and research, I landed on Evolve and I’m glad I did. Whilst my circumstances were not as fraught as they might have been, Debra and her colleagues acted promptly and professionally throughout. Evolve’s website is informative and its pricing clear and transparent-a welcome plus in my experience.

I used Robin Charrot to help in a family member's divorce proceedings and a deed of trust that had been written. He was extremely helpful and gave very good guidance on how my particular problem could be resolved. He got back to all emails very quickly and compared to lawyers in London his fees were very reasonable. The support staff I dealt were very efficient and I would highly recommend the firm.

First class professional & friendly family law firm

We recently used Evolve Family Law to assist us with potentially making some changes to our wills. Chris spent some time with us explaining the options and implications and ensured we were comfortable with any new requirements. He constantly checked for understanding and comprehensively answered all our questions. His professionalism and friendly manner gave us reassurance and confidence and was invaluable in our decision making. We will continue to use Evolve Family Law for any future requirements and would highly recommend their services to others.

Evolve were quite simply excellent

Evolve were quite simply excellent. They explained the process clearly and patiently. Robin and Louise were extremely knowledgeable and provided sound advice during what was quite a difficult period. The divorce process can seem to be quite daunting to the uninitiated, but Evolve were able to demystify the process and brought about a positive conclusion. Thank you to all at Evolve for your help and support.

Evolve Family Law - making our Wills

We contacted Evolve Family Law during late afternoon of Friday 8th March regarding making Mirror Wills. Consultant Solicitor Chris Strogen phoned me back later that afternoon. We made an appointment to visit, he sent me a pre visit questionnaire, subsequently produced our draft Wills which we finalised and completed in a face to face meeting on Thursday 14th March.
Our Wills were professionally completed in less than a week after making my initial phone call.
The price was fair and very competitive and we valued Chris`s expertise, efficiency, clear explanations and professionalism.
Would highly recommend to have a Will produced professionally and efficiently.

That you so much Andy for such an incisive review. Making a Will is never something that anyone wants to dwell on, so to get from start to finish in under a week is a great achievement, by you and by Chris

Compassionate and supportive family solicitors with excellent outcomes

Huge thanks to Eluned and Ellie, who together represented me through a tricky child arrangements case following domestic abuse.

With two solicitors on the case, there was always someone available to offer support, guidance, and a quick response to matters as they arose. Sadly, due to the nature of the case, it went all the way to a final hearing; however, Ellie prepared a fantastic and incredibly comprehensive case bundle for the court (even the District Judge complemented it) that helped the case to proceed smoothly and conclude better than I had hoped for. Eluned did a fantastic job of managing the various hearings up to that point; doing her best to negotiate an amicable solution despite bail conditions prohibiting mediation and the other party not always having legal representation. Eluned was clearly well respected by the court and I always felt confident in her representation. She liaised with an array of relevant parties including CAFCASS, Police, CPS, local authority intervention workers, clinicians, and schools, to ensure all available evidence was presented to the court for their consideration. After the case was handed over to council, Ellie attended court to support the barrister and was a great comfort in the room.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this fabulous team to anyone seeking a compassionate, supportive, and child-focused solution to their family legal matters.

Credit must also be given to Evolve for facilitating paired working in this way, which made for quicker response times (in comparison to that of a previous legal firm I had used), played to individual solicitor's strengths at various stages of proceedings, and appeared to provide excellent value for money.

Huge thanks to Eluned, Ellie, and the Evolve team :-)

New wills and LPAs

We asked Chris to set up new wills and LPAs for us. We were extremely pleased with his professional advice and service. He answered our questions in language we could clearly understand, and was very helpful. He made the whole process very easy for us. Now consider him our family solicitor.

Excellent and prompt Service

Chris Strogen was highly recommended to me by a friend. I had first class service from Chris, great response from my initial call. He re-wrote my Will and organised Power of Attorney for me. It was all made very easy, with an initial home visit. I would not hesitate to recommend Evolve Family Law and of course Chris.

Great, kind, and efficient service

Judith Chesters was great right from the start - helping and guiding me through a difficult situation after loosing my fiancé suddenly. Kind and efficient with will, power of attorney and the probate journey during 2022.
Can highly recommend Judith and Evolve Family Law

The Friendly way to Divorce

It was an online divorce and financial settlement,we shared the same solicitor who couldn't advise us individually but as we were both of one mind in what we wanted, it all went along very well.
We had a few online meetings with both of us attending, emails were transparent to all party's so no hidden surprises. Evolve handled all the online process. and we were informed when the next stage was to happen.
It did take longer than we had anticipated, we started in March and the we were finally divorced in October,
Initially we were handed over from one solicitor to another who has experience in this style of divorce.
So a slight delay took place there.
If you are getting divorced I would recommend this system with Evolve.
Eluned is a specialist in acting for both parties and her people skills smoothed the way and made it a better experience all round.

I have just completed 18 months of legal action with the help of Evolve. I honestly can’t fault them on their service. I worked directly with Robin who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and considerate of my situation at all times. Any queries I had were dealt with quickly and professionally. The whole team there were fantastic from start to finish and instrumental in getting me through a difficult time in my life. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Many thanks.
