About me

Head of the family department. Supervising other family lawyers in the company and providing law updates to them. Have a client base in excess of 100 files ranging from divorce and financial matters to child arrangements. I have worked in family law since I was 19 when I started a training contract at Sheltons solicitors in Hucknall. I worked there for 6 years before moving on to pastures new and running my own family department. I stayed in law until 2007. I then took a career break and worked in police custody for 8 years before returning to family law at Edward Hands and Lewis which had also taken over Sheltons solicitors where it had all started!

Testimonials

"I'm finally getting to see my son after almost two years of not seeing him and looking forward to rebuilding my relationship up with my son again after not being allowed to see him for almost two years. Thank you Michelle” January 2022.

“I was very happy with the service provided by Michelle Saxton in both my Divorce and Financial Remedy proceedings. In hindsight, I should have employed her services for my Child Arrangement proceedings as well, as compared to the services provided by another firm, Edward Hands & Lewis were far better. I felt supported throughout by Michelle and would recommend her services and use them again if need be.”
