John Oldroyd
John has over 30 years of experience in dealing with all family matters from the simplest of clean break divorces to complex, high-value cases and his many years on the Law Society’s Childrens Panel gives him the experience to help reduce the impact of divorce on the children and how to resolve children’s disputes – whether as part of divorce or otherwise. John also sits as a part time Deputy District Judge and so has valuable insight into the way the court approaches matters. Our family department is highly rated in the 2011 Legal 500 saying “Hayton Winkley is the premier firm in South Cumbria” in relation to our work for high-net-worth individuals, offering ancillary relief, children law advice and specialist advice on pensions and agricultural matters relating to divorce.
