Ashtons Legal

I am a family law specialist with a major interest and expertise in managing the financial aspects of relationship breakdown. In my experience, couples dealing with relationship breakdown, need sensible, practical and compassionate advice. They do not need to go through a process fuelled by acrimony and unnecessary argument.

I am based at Ashtons Legal's Guildhall Street office in Bury St Edmunds.

Ashton KCJ’s fixed fee scheme

Relationship breakdown, disputes about children and the financial aspects of separation can be one of the most stressful times in someone’s life. At a time of upheaval and uncertainly, the last thing anyone should be concerned about is how to manage the cost of legal support. Ashton KCJ is helping to ease the financial burden by offering a fixed fee payment scheme for many of our family law services. This means that our clients have certainty from the start of their case about what their costs will be. In many cases, our specialist family practitioners will agree a fixed cost with you at the start of a process. You know what you will pay and the work we will complete at the agreed cost. We can also take payments in instalments to enable you to budget on a monthly basis and as you pay throughout the process, there is no large bill at the end of your case.
