Free Drop In Clinics

We understand that when personal and family circumstances change, reaching out for legal advice can feel overwhelming. It’s not just the emotions—it’s the practicalities too. Finding time, knowing who to speak to, and taking that first step can be incredibly difficult. That’s why we’ve created a way to make things a little easier.

Our free Family Law drop-in clinics are designed to give you quick, direct access to an experienced solicitor—without needing to book in advance* or pay a fee. Whether you’re facing the breakdown of a relationship, making arrangements for your children, or simply not sure what your next step should be, we're here to listen and help.

Clinics are now available at our offices in Edinburgh, Dalkeith, Musselburgh, Bathgate and Bearsden, and at the Citizens Advice Bureau in Haddington. You'll find details of each location below. During your confidential, ten-minute meeting, one of our Family Law specialists will take the time to understand your situation and offer guidance on issues such as:

• Separation

• Divorce

• Child Law

• Alternative Dispute Resolution

You don’t need to bring paperwork or have everything figured out—we’ll meet you where you are and help you take that first step forward.

If your concern relates to another area of law, we’ll make sure you’re connected with the right person. You can also contact our wider Family Law team directly.

*Please note: if the clinic is busy, we may ask you to attend the next available session to ensure everyone receives the time and support they need.
