Q. What happens if I can't keep my appointment?
A. Tell us straight away so that we can inform your solicitor. Another appointment can be arranged to suit.

A. Yes. Seeing a solicitor can seem a little daunting so we think it’s a good idea to have some moral support if you feel you need it.
Q. I'll have my children with me - is that ok?
A.If you cannot get someone to look after your children then you are welcome to bring them with you. We do however believe that children should be protected from hearing conversations on issues that could distress them and in this respect we would advise that children should not be present at any discussions of a sensitive nature.

There are train stations at New Brighton and Wallasey Village, with bus routes running into Liscard.
