Top 9 Family Solicitors in Sheffield

In the firm's own words

If you need legal advice, we believe that the understanding and client care you receive along the way are just as important as the advice itself. We work in some of the more emotive areas of law such as Medical Negligence, Child Care, Mental Health & Capacity and many more. Our success in these areas owes a great deal to the empathy and compassion that we demonstrate to our clients every day. This is borne out by our clients and also through our professional accreditations. We were established by Stephen Switalski in 1993.

Originally we were focused simply on Child Care Law and Criminal Law and operated from one office in Wakefield. We now have 12 office locations, over 250 staff and handle a wide range of specialist legal services. What hasn’t changed is our focus on first-class client care. We help even the most vulnerable clients to achieve positive outcomes and move forward. On this site you can find out more about our services, our locations, our lawyers and keep up with the latest news from Switalskis.

The vast majority of the claims we handle are on a no win no fee agreement, meaning that you won’t need to pay anything upfront and will only be required to pay your legal fees if the claim has been successful. We normally take out an After The Event (ATE) insurance policy on your behalf when we make a no win no fee claim. If your claim is unsuccessful, this insurance policy covers you completely. It also means you can file a claim for compensation without having to pay anything up front.
