Child Custody Law | Greg Thompson

Areas of Practice

Custody work that begins with the welfare of the child and works backwards into a workable arrangement for the parents.

The chamber's approach is to begin with a clear written opinion on prospects and risk, agree the strategy in writing with the client, and then execute — with regular briefings and full visibility throughout. Fees are quoted transparently after the initial consultation, with phased and milestone-based billing available where appropriate.
