Martin Boniface

Position: Solicitor & Director and Head of Family Dept
Categories: Families and Relationships, Personal law
Location: Biggleswade, Royston, Saffron Walden

Martin qualified as a solicitor in 2014 and has 10 years’ experience in all areas of private family law. Before joining Pellys Martin was a partner at a medium sized law firm based in Bedford.  

Martin prides himself on breaking down complicated legal principles and explaining them in plain English. Martin is often described as a formidable advocate with a keen eye for detail. He can undertake all levels of advocacy and is not one to shy away from difficult discussions, be it with a client, the other party or the court!  

Martin’s main areas of work are:  

  • Divorce 
  • Financial matters (both the drafting of consent order and court proceedings)  
  • Pre & Post Nuptial Agreements  
  • Advising unmarried couples  
  • Private Children Act matters 
  • Domestic Violence applications (both making and defending)  
  • Change of name deed. 

 

Away from work, Martin enjoys spending time with his family. When he is not chasing his son round the garden aimlessly (with a view to tiring him out), he is an avid sports fan (mainly F1, Cricket) and enjoys watching and playing Golf – which usually equates to him wandering around aimlessly looking for his ball in woodland and building sandcastles in the bunker when he can’t find it!
