Impact

FOR THE GREATER GOOD

Our work doesn’t just change the lives of our clients – we use government social impact measures (including the Office for National Statistics ONS4) to identify wider societal benefits. These include…

  • Less GP visits and long-term health conditions
  • Less alcohol and drug use, and a de-escalation in the cycle of abuse
  • Lower crime rates and reduced police involvement
  • Less financial hardship, homelessness and long-term benefit dependency
  • Improved employee attendance and educational outcomes for children
 

JAMES’ STORY

“I first heard about the Affordable Family Law Group (AFLG) after deciding to self-represent in the family courts. I was facing some serious, but false allegations concerning my daughter’s care, and was worried I might not succeed without proper legal support. But I hadn’t seen her for months, and I couldn’t afford a high-street solicitor – I thought representing myself was my only option.

“From my first phone call with Peter, my mind was put at ease. His team listened to my story and compiled a comprehensive support package I could afford – including a position statement with corroborating evidence. From then on, the AFLG team were with me every step of the way. Not just working with me to adapt my statement to counter further claims, but helping me stay focused and setting out the strengths and weaknesses of my evidence.

“Eventually we went to a fact-finding hearing and all the allegations were thrown out. I truly believe this was due to the team’s diligence and attention to detail. After proceedings finished, and 11 months of not seeing my daughter, full contact was restored almost immediately. I cannot thank the AFLG enough – I will be eternally grateful for their support.”
