Why Choose Us?

The family team at Borneos, one of the largest family departments in the country, has a well-earned reputation as a formidable force in the family law arena. We combine sound legal knowledge, excellent negotiation and advocacy skills, meticulous attention to detail and a refreshingly approachable attitude to provide the highest standards of legal advice and client satisfaction.

Our large team of 18 lawyers (including five Members – formerly Partners) across our three offices, are able to provide an expert service in all fields of family law.

What our clients and others say about us

Borneos family department is recommended in the 2007 Edition of the Legal 500, the highly regarded, independent survey of the legal market. Their 2007 on-line editorial for recommended firms in the Beds, Herts, Bucks and Middlesex area reads:-

"Borneos LLP has a solid 19-strong family law team lead by the recommended Patrick Perusko in Milton Keynes, Stephen Holmes in Bedford and collaborative lawyer Jane Charlton in Newport Pagnell. Sam Phelan (now Reddington) heads up a highly regarded care team, while the firm also has strengths in ancillary relief and sits on a number of specialist family panels."

We recognise that a good family lawyer is more than a just a good lawyer. We are dealing with people at a very emotional time in their lives and we understand the importance of a professional yet caring approach to our clients.

Here is a small selection of feedback from our clients.
