Melissa Cruickshanks

Solicitor

I have been working within the area of family law since 2010, and I qualified as a solicitor in 2013. I am an accredited member of the Law Society Children Panel, and can therefore represent children in court as well as parents.  I specialise in family law and deal with this area of law only, and therefore this is where my focus is.

I strive to keep clients fully informed, and it is important to me that clients understand what is happening with their case, as people can often get lost in legal jargon. I am friendly and approachable, and aim to give a compassionate service, whilst dealing with sensitive issues.

The areas of work that I specialise in include public law care proceedings, private law children act matters, non molestation orders and divorce.

I attend court on a regular basis representing clients to the best of my ability. My aim is to help families in what can be challenging times, and to secure the best outcome possible in each situation.
