Marissa Prince
EXPERTISE
I am a family solicitor specialising in divorce and separation, financial settlements, children matters, private family law disputes including non-molestation & occupation orders, and pre and post nuptial agreements.
I advise clients on all aspects of relationship breakdown, providing clear, practical and compassionate guidance during what can be one of the most challenging periods of their lives.
TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR CAREER TO DATE / IN LAW
I have built my legal career with a focus on family law from day one. Gaining experience in across a wide range of matters, I have worked at some of the most highly regarded law firms in the South West advising clients.
I then was lucky enough to have a short career break to spend time with my 3 children growing up. Now they are all at School, and I am back!
My approach is firmly client-centred, combining strong technical knowledge with a clear understanding of the emotional and practical issues that family law matters often involve.
AND YOUR CLIENTS?
My client base is diverse. I work with individuals and families from a broad range of backgrounds, including professionals, business owners, farmers and parents.
Many of my clients are navigating divorce, separation or disputes relating to children, and are seeking straightforward advice, reassurance and a solicitor they can trust to guide them through the process with sensitivity and clarity.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT BEING A LAWYER?
I enjoy being able to support clients at pivotal moments in their lives and helping them move forward with confidence.
Family law is about more than legal outcomes — it is about people, relationships and future stability.
My professional purpose is to help people navigate separation and family matters with dignity, clarity and momentum, so they can move forward with confidence and security.
Family law is not just about the here and now it is about ensuring your client’s have the tools, financial and otherwise, to move forward in their new life post separation. —
WHAT DO YOUR CLIENTS LIKE ABOUT YOU AND THE WAY YOU WORK?
Clients value my approachable manner, clear communication and calm, supportive approach. I take the time to listen, explain options in plain language and ensure clients feel
informed and in control of their decisions. I am known for being responsive, thorough and focused on achieving practical outcomes that meet my clients’ priorities.
AND WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING?
When I am not working, I enjoy travelling with my friends and family. I love to cook (and eat!). I go to the gym (a lot) and love strength training. And I love exploring the beaches, walking on the South West coastal path and trudging over the moors, often with my black labrador or my three children in tow – I love my little life in Devon.
