About Us

Since being established in 2012, Tisshaws Family Law Solicitors has gone from strength to strength as a provider of legal expertise within a culture of care

Tisshaws Family Law Solicitors was founded by Gilva Tisshaw, who has been practicing family law for over 30 years. Her vision was to provide high quality legal advice within a caring and compassionate environment, ensuring that clients feel they are being listened to and their needs are being met. The whole practice shares this ethos of wanting to help and support clients in a practical way, during what are often difficult and upsetting times.

We are dedicated to supporting you through the difficult process of divorce and separation, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family

  • We will listen carefully to your individual needs and find the right solutions for your specific circumstances.
  • You will receive a personalised service, where you can contact your solicitor directly if you have any questions.
  • We use the Resolution Code of Practice, to ensure we resolve issues out of court wherever possible.
  • You can expect to get realistic, honest predictions of what can be achieved from the beginning.
  • We will always guide you to act in the best interest of yourself and any children.
  • We will do our best to keep you fully informed of the processes and costs involved at every stage.
  • We will try to ensure that time spent on cases and costs incurred are not disproportionate to the matter involved.

We will always try to resolve disputes using a non-confrontational approach to find the best possible solution

We strongly believe in trying to maintain a constructive and non-confrontational approach when dealing with disputes. Our solicitors are all members of Resolution, demonstrating their commitment to this approach and we do all we can to help clients avoid resolving their issues in court.

 

Our accreditations mean you are guaranteed a quality service

In 2012, just 3 months after opening, Tisshaws Family Law Solicitors were honoured to be awarded Lexcel accreditation, which is the Law Society’s gold standard of quality. This accreditation is held by only 16% of law firms in England and Wales and is only awarded to practices with an excellent standard of legal practice management and client care.

We are proud that much of our work comes from referrals

We are proud that many of our new clients come from personal referrals, past and existing clients, and recommendations from legal colleagues. Increasingly, we are finding clients working in the capital are choosing to use us instead of expensive London practices, as the quality of service and support we offer is higher, while our fees are much lower.

 

We can talk through your options before you make any decisions

We offer an initial no obligation one-hour appointment for just £100 (Incl. VAT), so you can talk through the options specific to your personal circumstances with a qualified lawyer.

To book an appointment, please call 01444 472700 or complete the quick contact form.

  • - Ms T March 2025

    Going through a Divorce is not an easy process, Lidia's knowledge and support made it a lot easier. She was on hand for support to talk everything through and give me all my options. She made me feel so comfortable with how approachable and calm she was. I got the result out of the divorce I wanted and that was down to her hard work.

    Hana provided excellent advice and support throughout a difficult and stressful divorce and financial settlement. Spanning some five years from the start of the procedure, Hana was always prompt with advice and guidance though out. I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position to myself.
