    Divorce & family law solicitor Sutton Coldfield

    Richard is a highly experienced divorce and family law solicitor based in Sutton Coldfield, working with clients across the Midlands and beyond. With nearly 30 years in family law, Richard is known for his down-to-earth style and his focus on providing straightforward, practical advice that helps people move forward with confidence.

    Richard has been named as a Recommended Lawyer for Family Law in the West Midlands in Legal 500, where they note he is “very clever” and has “a brilliant business mind” as well as being “very professional and also speaks normal language which is a huge advantage”.

    Richard advises a broad spectrum of clients, from families and working professionals to business owners, high-net-worth individuals, and those with international connections. He specialises in financial settlements on divorce, with particular expertise in complex cases involving business interests, trusts, and overseas assets. He also advises on cohabitation disputes, prenuptial and living together agreements. With wide-ranging experience across both straightforward and highly complex matters, Richard supports clients, helping them make informed, confident decisions even in challenging family circumstances.

    Richard is a trained mediator and has considerable experience working with clients through mediation — both formal and informal — as well as arbitration hearings and private Financial Dispute Resolution hearings. He believes strongly that non-court dispute resolution offers clients an opportunity to settle matters in a cost-effective, timely, and less stressful way, while still working within a clear legal framework.

    Richard explains: “My role is to help you reach an agreed outcome in a supportive and pragmatic manner, avoiding the stress of the formal court process wherever possible.”

    Clients value Richard’s calm and measured approach, his ability to simplify complicated legal processes, and the way he gives them the tools to make informed choices about their future. He takes pride in helping clients achieve solutions that enable them to move on with their lives as smoothly as possible.

    Richard qualified as a Legal Executive in 1997 and then as a solicitor in October 2007. He joined Woolley & Co in October 2012 after building his reputation in respected family law firms across the Midlands.

    Outside of work, Richard enjoys spending time with his family and following his local football team.
