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.

Reliable experts

Evolve Family Law's professionalism and competence was evident in every interaction I had with them. I felt very well supported by Alison Barnett who proved to be very knowledgeable, prompt and extremely easy to work with. I would definitely use Evolve again should I have the need to.

Efficient and friendly service by Debra Lowy

I was impressed and reassured by Debra Lowy when I first spoke to her about my divorce and financial settlement. Evolve's fees are transparent and fully itemised and Debra advised me how I could cut costs by doing certain admin tasks myself. Debra is understanding, friendly and efficient with an eye for detail and is excellent at communicating, making herself available as and when required - often out of office hours. I really appreciated being copied in on all emails sent and received from the other side. My case took three years owing to the appointment of a Litigation Friend for my husband and Debra was helpful and patient throughout this time. I would also like to thank Tracey Carney for her work.

100% would recommend

Rachael made me feel at ease and welcome from the offset. She was very knowledgable about my case and offered great advice throughout.

I was really nervous about the whole process including court, but Rachael helped me to negotiate the best outcome.

I would definitely recommend.

Passed from pillar to post

Passed from pillar to post. Went off ill, then holiday. No replies apart from invoices absolutly hopeless.
I paid them 2,000 for a letter and document from land registry. When I left and asked for my file, offered me an opportunity to down load through a portal. Couldn't get it working.
Very very disappointed. Want to take your money but give minimal support

Excellent, Professional and Honest

I first had a consultation with Robin Charrot who was excellent, the advice and recommendations were more than I could off initially imagined. I then met with Amber Oakley who took control of my case. Between Amber and Robin I do not think I would of got through my divorce in the short duration I did. They were excellent, professional, sincere and most importantly very honest throughout the whole process I cannot recommended Evolve Family Law Ltd enough and I am still and will always be highly grateful for the help/service they provided me.

Fantastic firm

Robin and Tracey both handled my case clinically and prosessionally. They outlined what my expectations should be from day 1, and explained everything clearly and concisely. Overall I got the best result I could have hoped for, despite the complex nature of my case. I would highly recommend this firm.

Cannot recommend Evolve Family Law highly enough

Cannot recommend Evolve Family Law highly enough and in particular Debra Lowy. She works meticulously and tirelessly. She manages expectations at every stage, is realistic and highly experienced. I was so grateful to have such a supportive solicitor who explained things every step of the way. I felt reassured and the enormity of going to a final hearing was made easier by Debra and the work she put in. I genuinely left the court room feeling as though we could have done no more. Do not hesitate to contact her.

Louise and the team work extremely hard and are fantastic, they have treated me as a human being and not a number, I can't thank them enough for all the time and effort they have put in to produce quality documentation and to talk to me about every aspect of the cases.
I would not hesitate to call upon them if needed again in the future.
Thanks again!

Letters of Administration and Estate Administration

Chris Strogen of Evolve helped me with my mother's Estate Administration after her death. Just to name a few things, he completed all the forms and dealt with HMCTS to get the Letters of Administration, obtained payments for a number of (very) old Life Assurance policies, and provided assistance and advice on various issues. His work and help were invaluable. Communication was fast, effective and efficient. Highly recommended.

Outstanding service

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Debra and the team at Evolve Family Law over the past four years. Your unfaltering dedication, professionalism, and commitment have truly been remarkable.

Your expertise in all aspects of family law has given me much-needed confidence and reassurance throughout this challenging journey. Your attention to detail and ability to anticipate obstacles ensured the best possible outcome for my family. The professionalism and empathetic approach of your team made me feel supported, allowing me to prioritize the well-being of my children at all times.

I greatly appreciate your personal sacrifice, accessibility, and responsiveness. You have always been there to provide clear explanations whenever I had questions. Your strategic thinking and negotiation skills were outstanding, ensuring that my interests and those of my children were protected and your transparency and regular updates empowered me to make informed decisions.

Reaching a favourable resolution fills me with immense gratitude for your outstanding contributions. I wholeheartedly recommend the team at Evolve Family Law to others seeking legal assistance. The expertise, professionalism, and unwavering support you have all provided have made an immeasurable impact on my life and that of my family. I cannot thank you enough for making such a positive difference. I am eternally grateful.

With sincere appreciation,

Family Law And Advice

Found these on the Internet after feeling i needed advice for family matters, and wanted to have advice outside my area so there were no Jurisdictional issues. They are perfect for me as I can do my own admin work and leave the important issues with Evolve, definately use them :)

Chris was excellent in all aspects.

Chris from Evolve Family Law Ltd. has just finished helping us making our wills.
He has been incredibly helpful and professional from start to finish, even coming to our house to explain everything thoroughly. We felt in good hands and would certainly use him and the company again for any future legal requirements.

Excellent Service

The service was excellent from the very first phone call, visit to the office and via email. Chris responded in a friendly, timely manner and answered my questions fully and in such a way that was easily understood without lots of legal jargon. Chris asked the right questions to explore the answers to ensure that nothing had been forgotten or missed. I would fully recommend using Evolve Law and in particular Chris.

Excellent will writing service

We approached Evolve as they have offices local to us and we wanted to have face to face meetings with a solicitor. We both felt at ease with Chris Strogen, who was very engaging, so we were able to freely discuss our requirements for mirror wills. We feel confident that we now have in place clear instructions for how our estate will be dispersed. We would have no hesitation recommending both Chris and Evolve for any will writing needs.

Judith Chesters. Evolve Family Law

My wife and I recently redid our Wills.
Judith was most accommodating by coming to our home, firstly to discuss what we wanted to achieve through our Wills. She was most helpful during the discussion, explaining different legal matters that were relevant to our situation. Having got them drafted, Judith returned for the signing and witnessing.
The whole experience was quick and easy and at a reasonable cost. We would happily recommend Judith Chesters as a Wills Solicitor

Racheal Wood Evolve Family Law

Racheal Wood was fantastic throughout my Child access dispute. Everything was explained and I was supported through what was a daunting court experience. I was steered through with compassion and fantastic advise to achieve a Child arrangement order favourable to myself.
I would strongly recommend Evolve and Rachael to anyone.

Solicitors who care

It is difficult to have clarity and make decisions in a situation that is highly emotional, stressful, and scary. Before I met Louise and Amber, I had a very negative experience and opinion about solicitors and their service. Amber provided excellent advice and service, but what was more important, I could see and feel that she cared. She knew my case, she was honest and provided reassurance and a fantastic level of support when I needed it. I would certainly recommend them.
