National Claim for Top West Sussex Lawyer

Kelly, who has been qualified for six years, undertook her Legal Practice Course at Bournemouth University. She previously worked in Redhill, before joining Bennett Griffin LLP in 2003. The firm has over 60 members of staff with offices in Worthing, Ferring and Rustington.

Kelly has passed her examinations in advanced financial provision 1 and advanced children private law to gain her accreditation under the Resolution scheme.

Originally set up in 1999, the accreditation scheme is designed to help people who are facing family breakdown to make an informed choice when deciding which lawyer to appoint. To become a Resolution accredited specialist, lawyers have to agree to uphold the Resolution code of practice and to have passed a written test demonstrating a breadth of knowledge of family law issues and specialist knowledge in at least two areas of family law.

Kelly is one of the first lawyers in Worthing to achieve Resolution accreditation. She comments: "As a Resolution member, I am committed to encouraging a non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes. That way, both the emotional and financial costs of divorce or family breakdown are minimised for those involved.

"Now, by choosing an accredited specialist, individuals can be assured that they are being advised by someone who has a wide knowledge and experience of family law, and has the qualifications to demonstrate it."
