Sapna Shah

I specialise in criminal litigation and family law. I have over 20 years experience in legal practice. I was called to the Bar in 1993 and then qualified as a solicitor advocate in 1998. I am ready to guide, help and advise on all aspects of private law family issues, including relationship breakdown, applications for financial remedies and children related matters. Family breakdown can be an emotional roller coaster and I am committed to providing you with the right support and advice throughout your case. I aim, wherever possible, to resolving family matters in a constructive and non-confrontational way whilst providing the strongest representation for my clients’ interests. In all cases that I take on I offer my own advocacy expertise, as well as managing the case itself in terms of paperwork and negotiation with the other side. I am always keen to further develop my expertise and so have trained as an independent Mediator with Resolution. I am now also MIAMs accredited and so can conduct Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings with a view to assisting parties to decide what is the best option for them to finding resolution upon breakdown of the relationship. I am also a criminal defence advocate and represent clients in the crown court, on all matters. I am passionate about my work and make it my aim to build a solid relationship of trust and confidence is built with my clients from the moment I take on a case. Please feel free to contact me for a no obligation telephone discussion.
