Hitchman

At Hitchman & Co Solicitors, we pride ourselves on being approachable, caring, practical, and efficient solicitors who provide expert advice in family law matters. Our team of experienced solicitors, led by Joyce Hitchman, a member of the Law Society Children Panel, The Association of Lawyers for Children, and Resolution, have been serving the community of Crayford, Kent, and surrounding areas since 2006.

Our Services

We understand that no two clients are the same, and we offer a personalised service to cater to each client's unique needs. Our expertise includes divorce, separation, and civil partnership; financial settlement; pre/post nuptial agreements; cohabitation agreements/disputes; trusts of land act disputes; domestic violence; private law children cases; and public law care proceedings. We also provide adoption services and are contracted with the Legal Aid Agency to deliver services to those who meet the relevant means and merits assessed legal aid criteria.

Our Approach

We take pride in our down-to-earth but efficient approach, which ensures that our clients' costs are kept to a minimum. We provide realistic advice and a sensitive, focused service that caters to our clients' emotional and practical needs. Our team is committed to delivering quality services at affordable prices, and we are assisted by traditional support services provided by our two resident secretaries, Lisa and Karen.

Why Choose Us

We believe that clients involved in family problems require a different service to those dealing with less emotional issues. For this reason, we expect some clients to not only treat us as their legal advisers but as confidantes. We understand that all clients are different, and some like to be as self-sufficient as possible, whilst others prefer to try and manage their matter at arms-length. Whatever the level of service required, we can provide it. Our customer service is second to none, and we have the personnel required to deliver it. All our staff are dedicated and willing to go that extra mile.

Our Commitment

Our aim is to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients and to enable them to move on in their lives. We understand that the legal process and Court proceedings can be frightening and costly, and we will always do our best to explore other options before recommending Court proceedings as a course of action. We are also mindful of the expense to our clients of pursuing any legal action.
