Welcome to Melanie Craig Solicitor

Based in Leeds, the firm acts for clients in the UK and internationally. The firm advises on all areas of family & immigration law. A considerable part of our work is undertaken in London where clients find our fees particularly competitive. Where possible we avoid charging for travelling time by undertaking other work on the journey. Arrangements can be made for meetings anywhere in the world or by video link. We consistently obtain good results for clients who are delighted with our service.

Why choose us?

This is a firm where you will be looked after as an individual by a highly experienced solicitor and a dedicated team who you can contact whenever you need to. This is a tailormade solution from a specialist. Here there are no such things as unreturned calls or emails, just an expert, excellent, accessible and highly responsive service.

Why pay for legal advice?

Many people hope to resolve their legal matters without the expense of solicitors. This is a perfectly reasonable approach but often runs into two problems. First, people don’t know what the law is, what a reasonable outcome would be or how to structure their affairs so that  there are no nasty surprises later. Secondly, there is a tendency to do work piecemeal, without regard to the bigger picture. This can lead to a situation where you make decisions in the moment and end up with an unfavourable outcome overall.

We are happy to be involved in your case as much or as little as you require. You may just require us to be a sounding board for your ideas plus help with putting your case into proper legal form, or you may need us to deal with every aspect of the case. Either way, we are happy to help. In family matters our expert will also tell you about alternative forms of dispute resolution such as Mediation and Collaborative Law and help you decide what will best suit you.  In our  initial discussions with you we will explore how best you can utilize our service, what our role should be and the likely cost and, most importantly, find a strategy for how to achieve the outcome that is best for you.
