Meet The Team To Help You With Divorce and Family Matters

Our Founder - Andrew Isaacs

Andrew Isaacs qualified as a solicitor in Doncaster (1985) at what is now Taylor Bracewell.

He specialised from the outset in litigation, and now divorce law, having realised early on in his career that conveyancing was not why he became a lawyer! He left Doncaster to work in Poole and Bournemouth some twenty years ago and following his own divorce has now returned home.

He has four children. The eldest two boys graduated with honours from Warwick University and Oxford University and are now pursuing careers with BT and Argos. He has full experience of what marriage, children, separation and divorce are like from his own life!

I have previous life experience from a client’s point of view of co-parenting & the stresses of the court system being a divorcee myself.
