Anita Hennessey

Partner, Solicitor Advocate, Joint Head of Family, Worcester


Why choose me

When you need family law advice, it’s because you’re probably going through an extraordinarily difficult time. Whether you need help with a pre-nuptial agreement or are having problems accessing time with your children, I’ll work as hard as I can to get you where you want to be.

I’m passionate about helping children in tough times, and I believe continuity is extremely important, so I’ll personally represent you in court where appropriate, rather than using a third-party counsel. I’m reliable, responsive, and I’m always available to chat when you need me.

I always try to be the best in everything I do, and I take pride in the work I do for my clients. In my spare time, I run with the Black Pear Joggers, and I like to give back to the community as a business patron for St Richards Hospice, a member of the Worcester Vigornia Rotary Club and a governor for Fort Royal Community Primary School.

Questions my clients ask me

It depends on the case, but as a general rule, most court proceedings take a minimum of 4–6 months to resolve. If it’s highly contentious and has to progress to a Final Hearing, the average is 6–12 months.

This depends on the process and nature of your dispute, but we take great care to estimate costs and work out a plan to make sure you’re in financial control of your case.

I always try and keep matters out of court so that we can best control the outcome of the dispute. However, if matters do end up in court, I’ll use my experience to guide you to an expected outcome.
