Eugene Ahern Email and Phone Number

I practised as a solicitor/partner for some 25 years before being called to the Bar in 2007. I practised in civil and personal injury cases undertaking much of my own advocacy before deciding to concentrate on family law. I was a member of the Law Society Children Panel for many years.As a barrister I now practise in all areas of family law including Financial matters, Adoption hearings, Special Guardianship and both public and private law children work.I am regularly instructed to act on behalf of parents, grandparents, Local Authorities and children, often in complex and protracted cases. I am often involved in cases requiring cross-examination of medical professionals from a variety of disciplines including psychiatrists and psychologists.I have a wealth of experience in addressing the issues and dynamics in disputes involving residence, contact and relocation whether in the UK or abroad and am acutely aware of the strong emotions and anxieties that such cases can generate. This experience enables me to provide realistic and appropriate advice to clients in a sensitive manner.I am Direct Access trained and are thus able to accept instructions directly from members of the public.
