Hartnell Chanot: Divorce/Family Law Solicitors Exeter, Devon
Emma Benyon-Tinker
Emma Benyon-Tinker joined Hartnell Chanot & Partners in January 2008 after a successful period as an Associate Solicitor following qualification in 2001.
She has spent the past 7 years specialising exclusively in family law dealing with divorce, separation agreements, private children work (acting for parents in residence and contact disputes), and ancillary relief where she has been actively involved in a number of big money cases involving substantial assets. She also has experience with pre-nuptial agreements, cohabitee issues, and dealing with disputes under the Trust of Land Act.
Emma's previous position at a law firm in the South East gained her invaluable experience acting for police officers and/or their wives serving with the Metropolitan Police - expertise she now brings with her to our Devon and Cornwall Police Team.
Whilst the majority of her caseload is private client based, Emma continues to offer assistance to legal aid clients and her experience as a Collaborative Lawyer means she is fully trained to resolve divorce and family disputes with dignity and respect.
An experienced advocate, Emma will represent clients herself where possible and is both approachable to her clients and respected by other solicitors in her field.
Client Comments
- Very friendly and helpful. Made to feel at ease. Particularly pleased then when arrived for appointment client wasn't kept waiting long.
- I have received an excellent service at all times - 100 per cent satisfied with the way the matter has been dealt with.
- Would definitely recommend HCP to others.
- Very helpful and understanding. Especially pleased with everything!
- First impressions of the offices were not at all stuffy or intimidating - real plus! Especially pleased with being assigned the appropriate person to our needs.
- Although I was nervous I was put at ease quickly by the calm and friendly staff. Emma listened and then explained clearly about collaborative law. I felt at ease with her. I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxed atmosphere, I expected it to be ‘stuffy and sterile'.
- I have found Emma to be very approachable, willing to expand into areas she is unfamiliar with such as Canadian law and very positive and understanding - by far the best Solicitor I have encountered. Her assistant has also been very approachable.
