Fotoulla Menikou
Specialist family law solicitor offering a refreshing,
client-centred approach to family law and an unrivalled level of service.
Welcome, my name is Fotoulla. My formal biography is below but let me tell you what you really want to know.
Why work with me?
I am a self-employed, specialist family law solicitor. My legal services are offered through a regulated law firm, Excello Law. The firm is Law Society registered and has professional indemnity insurance in place to protect your interests.
As I am self-employed, I do not have any billing targets to meet. I work with a select number of clients at any given time and always work under capacity. This enables me to provide an unrivalled level of service, simply unavailable from traditional law firms. Rest assured that I will never take on additional cases if doing so would negatively impact on service levels for existing clients.
Handling your own case?
I regularly assist litigants in person and also offer educational services and courses, teaching people how to successfully manage their own cases. These courses do not constitute one to one legal advice and are outside of the regulatory solicitor framework. The courses are operated through The Friendly Family Lawyer Ltd. They are offered to provide general support to individuals who cannot afford to instruct a solicitor to act for them.
