Carrie Stewart has been a member of the Law Society’s Children’s Order Panel since 2010. This panel consists of solicitors who have been accredited by the Children Order Panel Accreditation Board to represent parties in private and public law proceedings under the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995.
Not all family disputes end up in Court. If possible, we will try to resolve your dispute through negotiation and consultation. We can also advise you in relation to Mediation, should you wish to explore this as an alternative to the Court process.
We understand that family disputes can place a strain on finances and so we will work with you to ensure our service is affordable. We are always transparent about the costs you will incur and, where possible, we will discuss with you alternative options to achieving your aims. If you are eligible, we will also advise you of your entitlement to legal aid and will assist you with the application.
