Giles Dobson, senior solicitor based at our Gravesend office, has been awarded Resolution membership. 

Resolution is a specialist group of just 5000 lawyers in the UK who are family law experts looking to resolve family disputes in a constructive and cost effective way. All Resolution members have to undertake additional training in separating couples and children matters.  Giles said "I am delighted to have been accepted by Resolution.  My family caseload of 5 years has given me experience of all sorts of matrimonial situations and this is recognition of that".  Resolution members have to agree to abide by a strict code of practice that requires a constructive approach that is sensitive and cost effective for clients. "Clients usually come to see me when they need clear advice at the outset as to what they can and cannot achieve and we are geared up to help those in that situation".

Giles Dobson can be contacted on 01474 546003 and can offer appointments in each office of Martin Tolhurst. (Ashford, Chatham, Gravesend, Longfield, Strood)
