Hi, I have split with my girlfriend and need to arrange a lawyer as she is being very unreasonable (although I am sure she feels the same as me). Would it be a family solicitor or conveyancing solicitor I require. If anyone has a recommendation please pm me. I am based in the west midlands

You may need to give some more info.
What do you need a solicitor for? Most people don't need to involve a solicitor for a split with a girlfriend so I assume there is something more to it.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
yes, a disagreement about the level of deposit. My parents lent us extra money however she is claiming it is a gift and doesnt want to pay any back but wants me to sign over the house to her.0

What does the Trust Deed say about this?
Er, you did take the precaution of executing a Trust Deed- didn't you?0 -
When I split form my partner years ago, I was entitled to half the equity in the house.. (hope you have some equity at least?) I cant remember if I had a special solicitor, I just went to get advice from the first well known solicitors in my town! . Personally I wouldn;t sign a house over without getting my share out... you have both paid towards the mortgage no doubt and your element of the deposit... so maybe the CAB can give you the name of a local specialist?0

But one has to prove entitlement; it's not automatic.
Hence the importance of a Trust Deed whenever joint owners are not beneficial joint tenants.0 -
I have learnt that the hard way i think
