Lucy
Paralegal
Lucy is an experienced family law paralegal, with a first class degree in law from Manchester Metropolitan University. Lucy undertook two optional family law modules in the final year of her degree which focused on adult relationships and the safety of children. These have provided the framework for the work she does at CHL today.
Prior to joining CHL, Lucy worked pro bono supporting litigants in person at court hearings and in their applications to the civil and family courts. At CHL, she specialises in Section 8 Child Arrangement Orders such as helping parents to gain access to their children if the resident parent has denied them contact or custody.
Lucy also specialises in Non-Molestation and Occupation Order applications and defences by meeting with clients and composing professional and comprehensive applications and statements to the court. Thanks to her independent research and experience, Lucy has knowledge and understanding of CMS cases, with which she can aid you in your application to CMS as the Parent With Care (PWC) or as the Non-Resident Parent (NRP) (the paying parent) to apply for mandatory reconsideration or for an appeal.
Outside of work, Lucy’s favourite way to spend time is in the company of her friends and family. She has a strong moral compass and a strong sense of justice which accompanies her in her day-to-day life and which asserts itself as the foundation for her work.
Lucy has received many glowing reviews and thanks by previous clients for whom she has gone above and beyond to support. She always takes the time to listen to her clients patiently and discuss their matters in detail before deciding what the next steps should be. Lucy dedicates herself to supporting her clients by ensuring that she is available often outside of working hours to ensure clients’ urgent needs are met. She is an integral and central part of the CHL team.

Client feedback for Vik:
“ Vik has been a breath of fresh air when it all feels claustrophobic and looks awful and cloudy.
Before approaching V I met some lawyers specialising in family law but decided not to proceed with them as the interaction with them seemed very transactional and driven by their commerciality.
Vik’s approach seems thoroughly meticulous and professional and yet he feels my situation as a real friend with lots of empathy. He painstakingly understood my expectations from my situation. Vik offered real/practical solutions while always explaining the potential pitfalls, risks and outcomes of each of the possible strategies.
I believe his motive for setting up this venture comes from a noble place in that he genuinely wants to help people in distress by leveraging his knowledge and experience in their difficult time. I will highly recommend V from positive personal experience of having sought his help. "
Another client says:
Vik was very empathic to my situation… He is very knowledgeable about the children's act and the children arrangement process. he is very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp or facetime. He gave me all the information I needed to prepare for interviews”
Another client says:
“Although Vik is professional, he is extremely supportive and has been there for us every step of the way; happy to answer calls and emails whenever we wanted to speak to him... His knowledge on family law matters is exceptional”
Another client says:
I would recommend him to anyone that is going through the court process as a litigant in person. The process can be overwhelming especially if it's emotionally driven. I feel that the money that lawyers would cost could be better spent on children when you get great insight into the court process and paperwork involved at a fraction of price with Vik.
