Hi All,

I am Litigant in Person (LiP) for financial and children proceedings at Family Court in Holborn.

I am looking to instruct a [URL=Glossary/General/Barrister.html ]barrister[/URL] who represented me at a previous children's hearing and due to limited funds, will struggle to fully instruct a solicitor.

Unfortunately said barrister is not direct access so I would really need a solicitor. Right?

Any recommendations for a solicitor that would be willing to help me without needing to do a lot of work?

It's for a variation of CAO hearing and I have already represented myself on a number of hearings.

If not possible, any recommendation for a Direct Access Barrister that wouldn't cost a fortune?

The solicitor will have to do whatever is needed in terms of bundles etc. Counsel usually charge more for direct access than through a solicitor as they know they won't get the case in good order, and will have to do a lot more work.

Try this lot

I have found them reasonable, and pretty strong for children work.
