Fiona Wilson
Joined Lawson West: 2022.
Head of Family Law
Career:
Fiona qualified as a solicitor in 1996 and began working exclusively in family law in 1999. She has developed a strong reputation which goes beyond the Leicestershire area. Fiona has a wealth of experience and knowledge in all aspects of family matters whether that be as a result of a marriage, civil partnership or co-habitation breakdown.
As an Accredited member of Resolution, Fiona will strive to negotiate a settlement, recognising that this is not only cost effective, but also gives many clients’ satisfaction that a favourable result has been achieved in which their wishes and wants have been given consideration. Of course, there are some cases which have to be referred to the court.
Fiona explains, “I am equally comfortable in dealing with those matters and will ensure that you are fully aware of the stages of the court process; including what you can expect to happen whilst you are at court.”
Experience:
Fiona enjoys the challenges faced in resolving children and financial matters and has acted successfully, in a wide range of complex matters. She understands that this is likely to be a troubling time in your life and that your instructions will be unique. Fiona comments, “I will allow you time to give instructions, discuss those with you, narrow the issues, provide you with all the options and proceed on an agreed way forward. Of course, your instructions may change as your matter progresses and I am always approachable to discuss your case.”
Fiona also acts for clients who may require documents drafting, such as Pre-nuptial agreements, Post – nuptial agreements, Co-habitation agreements, Change of Name deeds (adults and Children) and Affidavits to Marry abroad.
Favourite Testimonial:
“Thank you! I couldn’t have done it without you”
Interests/Hobbies:
Fiona enjoys socialising with friends and family and has a keen interest in gardening. Otherwise, her time is usually spent somewhere on the side lines of a rugby pitch watching her sons play (or coach).
