Family Law
The breakdown of a relationship is a sad fact of life. It can be a highly stressful time for all involved. Family Lawyers act for individuals at the time when they are most vulnerable. We pride ourselves in dealing with the emotional spectrum of these challenges effectively and professionally
Keeping distress to a minimum and providing a supportive environment is key to our work.
You will always be ensured of a sympathetic ear and practical guidance to help you find your way through the issues that affect families and children at such a difficult time.
There is no need to worry and struggle on your own with potentially complex issues. From amicable binding agreements to Court proceedings, Alisons Legal Practice offers legal advice in Aberystwyth and the surrounding area and is able to assist you and ensure you remain informed throughout.
Divorce
The breakdown of a committed personal relationship will nearly always be distressing and difficult. The decision to separate may be yours, your partner's or sometimes a genuinely mutual one. However the decision has been reached, we can help you through this difficult time. We will explain the personal and emotional processes and offer practical guidance to help you and particularly your children come to terms with your changed circumstances.
Children
Most parents agree about the arrangements for their children although difficulties do often arise especially when the relationship is emotionally charged.
Always considering the welfare of the child as being paramount we will assist you in dealing with issues such as residence, contact and preventing or ensuring specific issues such as medical treatment, education, matters concerning the childs assets and removal of the child outside the jurisdiction.
Our experienced lawyers will also provide advice in cases where the Local Authority are involved with your child.
Crime
We undertake work in police stations and courts throughout Wales and represent clients facing all types of allegations from minor road traffic offences to the most serious and complex offences.
We conduct work for privately paying clients and all clients are dealt with sympathetically and with discretion. No case is too small or large.
Employment
Employers -
Legal requirements for the treatment of, and conditions for, employees may catch out employers who do not have the time to remain current while focusing on running their businesses. Maintaining good staff relations is crucial to the success of any enterprise. Disputes cause stress for everyone concerned and decrease output and profitability.
Employees -
As employees everyone deserves to be treated fairly and within the law. When this does not happen it can affect both your professional and personal life. If you feel that you have been treated unfairly I will help you negotiate with your employer for better a working environment and fairer treatment.
Wills and Probate
The importance of making a Will cannot be overstated, particularly for the dignity and peace of mind of those you leave behind.
We will prepare a Will that is individually crafted to your needs to ensure it represents your wishes precisely.
We can assist you with all areas related to estate planning. We can also assist with the creation of the two types of Lasting Powers of Attorney: 'Property and Affairs' and 'Personal Welfare'. The first allows for someone to help you manage your financial affairs, or manage them for you if you no longer can. The second allows for someone to express your views as to your welfare once you have lost the ability to do so yourself.
We believe in speaking plain English and work to ensure all clients are clear on every aspect of their Will and estate details.
Debt
Unpaid invoices can affect even the most efficient and organised of businesses. Old debts can hold you back by restricting cash flow and can become a drain on resources should you decide to pursue them yourself.
Often your debtors can be encouraged to settle without resorting to legal advice.
But for those times when you might need to take matters a step further, Alisons Legal Practice is on hand to help you understand the processes involved and carry out the work on your behalf.
Before taking any action I will help you to assess the situation and weigh up the potential costs and benefits of proceeding.
