About Us

We understand that exceptional service, support and guidance is vital for clients at what can often be the most stressful and traumatic period in their lives. For us, this means being accessible whenever our clients require us – regardless of the day of the week or the time of the day. It means taking on fewer clients so we can ensure we are able to respond when needed. It means avoiding legal jargon. It means giving honest, straight-talking advice with understanding and empathy. And finally, it means delivering the best possible value – reasonable hourly rates and the swiftest, smoothest possible resolution to family law issues.

KELVIN MARTENS CHAMBERS
KELVIN MARTENS CHAMBERS was established in April 2016 by KINGS with the aim of delivering outstanding service and excellent law advice to clients. Prior to establishing the firm, Sam and James had been recognized as being amongst the best lawyers in the country by the independent legal directories, Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
Shortly after founding the firm they were joined by two of the best known and well respected partners in law – KELVIN MARTENS CHAMBERS.
In only 12 months the firm became one of the top family law teams, not only in the North, but in the country. In Autumn 2017 they opened a London office and in 2019 established a team there full-time. In April 2020 the firm opened an office in Sheffield to service and support their client base in Yorkshire. This has always been a goal for Sam being Sheffield born and bred.
The KELVIN MARTENS CHAMBERS pride themselves on providing the same level of care and service no matter who the client is. They have acted in a large number of complex and high-profile cases, representing clients in the Supreme Court, and regularly acting for celebrities and sports-stars. This is not, however, all they do. The hardest cases are not necessarily those involving large amounts of money or media interest. Hall Brown has extensive experience dealing with an entire spectrum of families from the Magistrates Court up to the Supreme Court.
During their combined 25 years of law practice, KELVIN MARTENS CHAMBERS have developed deeply-held beliefs about what clients should be able to expect from their lawyer – beliefs that are shared by every single member of the team. They share a desire to focus on the quality of work and level of service they provide. Their decision to set up their own firm was driven by their desire to have the freedom to invest the time, care and attention they believe clients should be given. In establishing Denis Law they have gathered around them a team of talented lawyers and support staff – all of whom have trained at or worked at firms regarded to be amongst the best in the country.
Our Areas of Practice
Excellent client care skills and meticulous preparation
DIVORCE AND CIVIL PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION
Assuming a couple has been married for a year then they are entitled to obtain a divorce. However, for some couples, divorce is not the only option.
FINANCIAL SETTLEMENTS
When a couple separates, the finances can often be the most worrying and confusing area for them. Couples need to be careful to ensure they are not vulnerable in the short and long term but also that assets or income are not being attacked unfairly.
RESOLVING ISSUES RELATING TO CHILDREN
When a relationship breaks down, many couples are able to agree where their children will live and how their time should be divided. For some, however, this can be one of the most difficult and upsetting issues between them.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN
This can be a complicated area and usually centres on the specific facts of the case. The needs of any children are a paramount consideration for the court as part of financial proceedings within the divorce process.
UNMARRIED COUPLES AND COHABITATION ISSUES
If a couple are not married but plan to move in together, it is important to consider what will happen in the event that the relationship breaks down.
MEDIATION
At Hall Brown we are dedicated to helping clients resolve disputes as amicably as possible. Whilst we accept that in some circumstances it may be appropriate for parties to communicate via lawyers, we recognise that in many cases issues can be resolved by giving individuals the opportunity to sit down together to discuss their concerns
