At  Gillbanks Family Law based in the  Colchester area, I provide calm, practical and straightforward legal advice to help you navigate this difficult time with clarity and confidence.
Whether you are at the begining, in the middle, or ready to formalise an agreement, I can help you take the next step.

My Approach

My focus is always on:
  • Reducing conflict where possible
  • Finding fair and practical solutions
  • helping you avoid unnecessary legal costs
  • Creating long-term stability and clarity for your and your family
Most cases can be resolved through calm negotiation, but where needed, I will guide and support you through court proceedings with confidence and care.
When you work with Gillbanks Family Law you work directly with me- Vanessa Gillbanks. I act as a consultant and process work through Nexa Law and Richard Nelson LLP. Things to note though.
  • You won't be passed between different people
  • You only need to tell your story once
  • You receive consistent, experienced guidance throughout
This allows me to provide a more personal, supportive and efficient service.
