​

"Children read their parents' emotions as they move between households and experience each parent's emotional availability and capacities.  The relationships within each household and the space between becomes the soil within which children develop post separation, with outcomes significantly determined by the richness or toxicity of that soil.'


Jen McIntosh 2010

ABOUT

Your family matters to Anita

Hi, I'm Anita Shepherd a self-employed consultant solicitor.   I also take assignments as a Locum Solicitor, details of which are available on request.

Over the last 23 years I have been helping people with Family Law problems with care and compassion.

My consultancy legal services are provided through a regulated law firm through which I have Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) for my legal services, full details of which will be provided upon instruction.  I am also a Family Law/Divorce Coach which I operate through a separate business "Your Family Law Shepherd".  The aim of which is to provide information services to litigants in person who are not able to afford a full law firm retainer. 

Since winter 2022 I have been working alongside the College of Legal Practice as a tutor/supervisor on the SQE Solicitor Qualifying exams, this acts as testament to my ability to be able to work closely with younger individuals alongside people from all different backgrounds.

Valued Feedback

​

“When I first contacted Anita I was in a debilitating state of shock and I simply didn’t know what to do at the time nor what the future held. She had the right balance of empathy, clear expertise and steel. She provided me with a decisive and firm course of action that was right in my circumstances and I am thankfully on my way out of the other side and am in a much better place just a few short months later. I’m not sure I would have reached the positive result to my hideous situation had it not been for Anita’s guidance.”
A. Anonymous (Manchester)

"Anita supported me through the most stressful and emotionally intense time of my life, without her support and professional guidance I'm not sure what mess I'd be in today. Anita went above and beyond to ensure she knew every aspect of my case which lasted for over one year, she gave realistic and compassionate advice. Anita made a confusing and traumatic experience, calm and comprehensible. After achieving a successful outcome, my environment is now undisturbed and I can look forward to living a happy life with my children, for this I am eternally grateful."
