Civil Litigation Solicitors

Civil litigation involves resolving disputes between individuals, families, or businesses through the courts or by negotiated settlement. Our specialist civil litigation solicitors provide clear, strategic advice on a wide range of matters – from contract and property disputes to contested probate and inheritance claims. We guide you through each stage of the process, protect your interests, and work towards the most effective and fair outcome for your situation.

Garner and Hancock Law Firm deals with various disputes, but we strongly focus on Contested Probate.

Contested probate refers to legal challenges to the validity of a will or disputes over the distribution of an estate (e.g. claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975).
