Family Solicitors in Oldham

Working Together

Our experienced family law team provides specialist advice in relation to all areas of family and matrimonial law.

Alison Winterbottom, who has 25 years’ experience and is a expert in this field, leads the team. Alison is a member of Resolution, a national organisation of family lawyers and other professionals committed to the constructive resolution of issues arising from relationship breakdown. She is accredited by Resolution as a specialist and she qualified as a Collaborative Lawyer in 2010, enabling her to assist clients in resolving family disputes through a series of face to face meetings and collaborative discussions. We recognise that relationship breakdown is often a difficult and distressing time. Our family team offers a caring and professional approach and will provide you with clear and practical advice to assist you in achieving the best outcome possible.

We understand that one of the main concerns when instructing a Solicitor is often the cost. We offer a free no obligation initial appointment which can be arranged at your convenience (we do not hold drop in clinics which can be very public). This appointment is not time limited and is completely confidential. We will provide detailed advice and explore with you the many options available for resolution.

We are fair and transparent on costs and an estimate is provided at the initial meeting. A full, detailed and easily understandable breakdown of the work done accompanies every invoice sent to you. We are committed to providing a first class service tailored to your individual circumstances and needs. We are flexible and can accommodate out of hours appointments and telephone discussions where necessary. We are based in Oldham Town Centre and our office is easily accessible from Saddleworth, Manchester, and Tameside.

Michelle Gordon who dealt with the sale of my property was excellent, extremely helpful and very polite. I would certainly recommend Michelle.

Mr P Newman - Oldham

You were dealing with my mother's estate, so due to this I had obviously lost my mum and was upset. You took over and told me not to worry, you dealt with everything, let me know regularly but didn't mither me unnecessarily. I felt I was you only client. Well done!!

Excellent service all round. Could not have had better. Thank you.

Both Jill and Sophie were extremely helpful, pleasant and remarkably patient at all times.

Ms G Karpmann - Oldham

Friendly, prompt service and advice. Any hold ups were not due to North Ainley. Thanks for everything.

Miss E Clarke - Oldham

The sale of the house was far from straight forward but Cassie was absolutely brilliant throughout. She was extremely responsive to communications and made me feel as if I was top priority, despite the heavy workload she no doubt has. She made the whole process as painless as possible. Thank you.

Ms H Lucy - Leeds

We were very happy with the service. Thank you.

Mr & Mrs J Duffy - Oldham

Excellent service. I am very happy and hopefully I will come back to you in the near future. Thank you very much.

Mr M M Uddin & Mrs N Begum - Mansfield

I would recommend your firm, staff to my relatives and friends without reservation because of the caring, professional and friendly approach of your staff team. I have been lucky enough to meet with and speak to several of the team and all have acted within this framework, they are a credit to the name North Ainley. I know we are in strange times at present but that did not stop your team especially Laura Campbell from pursuing and completing my case. Once again, thank you all for your help, support and successful result in my case.

Mr M Chadwick - Stalybridge
