Divorce lawyer recommendations in central London?

[MrBusterIPresume]

Can anyone recommend a good solicitor in central-ish London who is clued up about emotional abuse and controlling/manipulative spouses?

I suspect H is about to get hostile and I'm in need of good advice from someone who has dealt with this before (preferably someone who is used to dealing with ordinary folk rather than ultra-high earners).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, either here or by pm.

William Hogg (Tooth and Co I think he is with now) acted for me.
No ExH seemed more abusive, controlling and manipulative than mine was, and William was down to earth and showed absolutely no fear.
I am proud to say that I was left with my dignity.

Another option would be to get a direct access barrister. This means that you can instruct a barrister directly instead of paying a solicitor and a barrister so it's cheaper, though it does mean a bit more work on your part (such as filing your own documents). A list of public/direct access barristers can be found on the Bar Council website.

Grayfords are good. Sheetha Karim did my sister's divorce and was super helpful.

Any recommendations for the above plus the issue of children please?

Recommend Theresa Cullen at Fladgate. Down to earth & v knowledgeable. Good luck - it's tough but you'll get through it!

baby So glad to get that feedback! My divorce has been on-going for two years now & TC has been a rock. My ex is more or less insane & seems to pick (he has been through two so far) the most aggressive & obnoxious lawyers. The latest drama has been the financial order. He asked for a court date last Dec, but his solicitor wrongly assumed the court would serve the papers to us. A number of aggressive letters to TC on the lines of " you must have been served, you lost them", etc,etc, then today, a letter from the court stating drily that it was their ( the applicant's) responsibility to serve them. It is now to be re-scheduled
