Jessica Fletcher-Hall

Family and Childcare Solicitor

Jessica is a Solicitor in the Care Department at Askews Legal and specialises in public law matters, assisting parents and other family members where there is Local Authority involvement with their family due to safeguarding concerns.  This includes attending Child Protection Conferences with clients, representing clients at Pre-Proceedings Meetings and representing clients during Court Proceedings, including where the Local Authority are seeking to remove child(ren) from their parent/guardian’s care.

Jessica also has experience in assisting clients with regards to private children disputes – including applications for a Child Arrangements Order, Prohibited Steps Order and Specific Issue Order – and in relation to domestic abuse matters and in particular obtaining protective injunctions for clients.

Jessica is very passionate about the work that she undertakes and is fully committed to her clients and helping them through what is an incredibly challenging time in their lives.

After graduating from Sheffield Hallam University in 2011 with a First Class Honours Law Degree, Jessica went on to complete the Legal Practice Course with Distinction at the College of Law, Birmingham. Jessica then began her legal career working as a Legal Secretary at a local Firm in 2013 before commencing her Training Contact there and subsequently qualifying as a Solicitor in May 2018.  Save for 6 months spent in a Conveyancing Department during her Training Contract, Jessica has spent the entirety of her legal career working within the area of family law and primarily within the area of Care Proceedings.

In 2019, Jessica was a finalist for the Coventry and Warwickshire Young Professional of the Year – Legal Sector. Jessica has also been on the committee for the Warwickshire Junior Lawyers Division (WJLD) and was even elected President of the WJLD in 2018.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys attending the theatre, reading anything from moderns to classics (but particularly Harry Potter) and spending time with her family, friends and two dogs.

I have been increadibly well looked after by the Askews Legal team of Arti Parmar and Lauren D'Arcy who have gone above and beyond with their time and support given the complexity of multiple parallel sales and various hurdles that were faced. I cannot be more grateful. Thank you for your time and efforts. Looking in advance to the next! Thanks again.

We have just completed on a family matter, which required the assistance of a solicitor. We have used Askews before for a property sale, so we had no hesitation in coming back to this firm. We were glad that we did so as it was too complicated for us to handle on our own. We would like extend our thanks to Stephanie Napier and her team, for their compassion, expertise and help throughout the process.

I used Askews to reach a settlement over a family home. Karen was extremely patient with me whilst I gathered all the evidence she needed and extremely professional and supportive when dealing with a challenging ex partner to reach an agreement. The conveyancing team at Askews achieved a remortgage and transfer of equity for me in an incredibly tight timeframe. I had a mortgage offer about to expire. Their speed, efficiency and support was phenomenal. A huge thank you to Sunitum and Gurpreet for making the impossible happen. My boys and I are delighted.

For my house purchase I worked with Linda and her team, they were simply the best. I hadn't bought a new place for 24 years and so it was quite daunting to do it again but she made it as easy as it could be. quick, knowledgable and above all kind. Thank you

We had a landlord dispute which required timely resolution. It took a little while to get started but once the right person was involved everything was handled quickly, appropriately, sympathetically and to our satisfaction. Communication was excellent.
