Mercy Messenger
Family Law

Est 1983


Experienced. Resourceful. Effective.

Who We Are

Mercy Messenger Solicitors was established by founder partner Mercy Messenger in 1983 and is continually developing and strengthening its expertise. The firm is widely regarded as one of the leading matrimonial and family law specialist practices in Birmingham and the West Midlands. The aim of the firm is to provide services of the highest quality which produce fair and effective results.

We are large enough to handle all aspects of complex cases across the spectrum of work involved in relationship breakdowns, whilst small enough to provide the specialised committed service to which all clients are entitled.

The firm is fortunate to have the consultancy services of partner David Messenger who is a specialist commercial lawyer with extensive corporate finance experience. To our clients he brings a thorough understanding of their business concerns and of the valuation aspects that can arise out of relationship breakdown, especially the implications for family businesses.

Clients

Clients come from a broad range of backgrounds, including business, professional, academic, arts and entertainment, farming, equestrian, and abroad, and are as different as the problems they bring to us.

The majority if not all of our clients come to us by way of recommendation by colleagues, friends or family, as well as via referrals from other lawyers, and frequently by way of recommendation by the other side in previous cases!

We have also established a reputation in successfully concluding cases for clients coming to us for a second opinion with reservations about advice they have previously received.

"A great team all round. Mercy puts you at ease and you know she has got your back, her immense knowledge just shines through"
