Helen Jackson - Partner

helen.jackson@1st-solicitors.co.uk

Helen’s speciality is private family law with particular emphasis on family breakdown including divorce, separation and children's issues.

A concern for the damaging effects on families and children of court proceedings led Helen to train as one of the first Collaborative Lawyers in Staffordshire and as a family mediator.

Historically, almost all of Helen’s new client business have resulted from personal recommendations. She is down to earth and approachable and her attitude to addressing Family issues is firm but constructive rather than confrontational. Helen believes that it is important to offer clients a personal individual service and to tailor the method of dispute resolution to their individual needs. An experienced Collaborative Family Lawyer, Helen is the secretary of Staffordshire Collaborative Lawyers and an active member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution sub-committee of the Local Family Justice Council.
