Leanne Barton
Leanne Barton joined Acclaimed Family Law in July 2017, having built up a reputation at other well established firms in the area and having trained and worked alongside Michelle Cooper for several years. Leanne has over 15 years experience in family law and prides herself on being constructive and pragmatic whilst also striving to deliver the best outcome for her clients.
Leanne specialises in financial settlement cases including high value matters with complex business assets and high value pensions both in the public and private sector. Alongside this, Leanne also advises her clients on matters concerning their children especially where allegations are being made.
Leanne has previously successfully appealed a case concerning children in the Court of Appeal. The case in itself was a ground breaking one, as Leanne represented a sister who wished to have contact with her two younger half siblings against the wishes of a parent.
As a member of Resolution Leanne is committed to approaching a case in a non- confrontational manner whenever possible. Leanne has two children herself and understands that family life is the most important thing to most people and when something goes wrong it can be devastating. Many clients have remarked on Leanne’s ability to guide her clients through the legal process with understanding and compassion but at the same time she is prepared to fight her corner for her clients when necessary.
