About Me

I am Nicola Williams and I am a fully qualified, fully insured Solicitor with over 17 years experience in family law. I am also fully regulated by the Solicitor's Regualtion Authority and my registration details can be checked on the Law Society website www.lawsociety.org.uk

I was admitted as a Solicitor fourteen years ago and have specialised in divorce and relationship breakdown ever since.

I began working in family law as a legal clerk in between finishing my law degree and beginning my Legal Practice Course post graduate qualification in 1992. I became a trainee Solicitor in 1994 at Forshaws in Warrington and was trained there by Patrick Wheeler, and Michael Peake both now full time District Judges.

In November 2001 I set up my own practice in Cheadle.

I have one simple rule when it comes to Client care:-

Treat everyone the way you would want to be treated”.

That means that every client will be treated with courtesy, respect and honesty.

If you feel that you are not treated in this way I want to know.

Some people might wonder whether it is “safe” to use a sole practitioner. I have worked for large firms in the past and decided that I wanted to offer something new to clients.

There’s nothing new in the quality and standard of advice I give. But I am free to manage the service I provide and make it more efficient and more cost-effective.

I have close links with other family lawyers both those in large firms and sole practitioners, solicitors and barristers.

I am also a member of Resolution First for Family Lawyers.

And of course I attend the necessary training courses each year to update my knowledge and improve the quality and standard of advice offered by me.

Although I only deal with Family law personally, I can recommend other practices who carry out work related to mine, such a conveyancing and will drafting.

If clients prefer to follow my recommendation they can do so. If they have an existing contact that they may have used before, I won’t be offended if they take their other business to them.

I see clients in offices in Didsbury and Cheadle whichever is most convenient for them. If you would like to make an appointment please call the above number or email me on nicola@nicolawilliams.co.uk.
