Profile

Originally a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives in the year 2000 before going on to be admitted as a Solicitor and a trained Mediator.

Keith’s formative legal training was with well-known London solicitors before working for a number of regional firms.

Keith has broad experience in all areas of family law having worked exclusively in this field since 2001 and has a particular interest in children and finances ranging from cases involving modest sums to those comprising complicated, higher-value assets. His expertise in these areas is recognised by his membership of the Law Society Family Law Advanced Accreditation Scheme after a rigorous selection process. The scheme is designed to identify lawyers with particular expertise and competence.

Keith’s extensive experience over the years enables him to provide a sympathetic, understanding ear to his clients whilst vigorously pursuing their best interests.

Experience

  • Acted on a complicated matter to change a child’s residence involving allegations of abuse, mental health issues and alcoholism;
  • Representing the same client simultaneously in the divorce and financial proceedings to ensure that the fairness of that settlement reflected the change of residence;
  • Acting for an international businessman in an acrimonious, hard-fought matter;
  • Acting for the wife of a property developer involving several companies, property development issues and assisting in the uncovering of hidden assets;
  • Acting for the husband in a modest asset case where his wife had an unrealistic expectation. The disproportionate legal costs to the husband required a keen tactical eye to ensure that the proceedings were guided in such a way to achieve settlement at the earliest opportunity and so preserve the family assets for the benefit of both parties.

Podcast – The Divorce Process

Outstanding

When I first entered the unknown complexities of my divorce I thought the worst was over. It was yet to come! Keith is an expert and never mind the immense paperwork trail that comes with the territory, Keith coached me and imparted honest and sound advice! I thank you for being part of what I can only describe as the unknown and seeing me through professionally to the other side!

Consumate professional, sympathetic, proactive, responsive, patient and effective

My case lasted over 2 and a half years and was very complex, lengthy and probably frustrating for all involved. However Keith was always a consumate professional, sympathetic, proactive, responsive, patient and effective. I can't recommend him as a person and professional highly enough and I will always be so grateful for his services and for what he has achieved for my family and I, which was all I could have reasonably wished for. If you have a family law problem, he's your man!

Fantastic service

I received fantastic legal service from Keith Unger at Warners. From the beginning he was sensitive to my situation and my slightly unconventional wishes - he was very responsive, straightforward and clearly explained all implications and options. There was no unnecessary 'backwards and forwardsing' as he was consistently upfront, nor any hidden fees or charges. Keith's advice was balanced and fair, and the successful outcome of my case reflected the considered and intelligent submission which he made on my behalf to the judge. As an extra, Keith was a delight to communicate with and he helped to make a difficult situation as easy and painless as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Keith to anyone seeking similar legal assistance.

A legal team that went above and beyond

Being a dad, I knew my chances of getting joint care of my children were slim.
Keith and his team went above and beyond, they supported me where required and not only did I get joint care of my children but a list of other things that felt near impossible. I couldn’t of done this without Keith Unger and can’t thank him enough.

Honesty, empathy and deep care

I followed Keith to Warners from the solicitor firm he worked previously. It’s impossible to describe him in an online review due to space restrictions! He has an incredible work ethos and integrity. His professionalism and knowledge of his area of expertise is unquestionable. He has a holistic approach on matters concerned. Honesty, empathy and deep care is what characterise him. He goes far and beyond the call of duty and has an ability to support his clients on a personal level especially when dealing with the sensitive subject of children. A humble thank you is the only thing I can offer in return.

Ask for Keith Unger

I received excellent advice and support from Keith Unger during what was a very difficult divorce. My ex-spouse was being deliberately awkward, but Keith was able to cut through that, making clear what should be contested and what wouldn’t matter in Court. As our assets were modest and in order to keep costs down, Keith made it possible for me to draw upon his extensive professional experience so that my funds could be used where they were needed most, with less involvement from him for tasks that he gave me the confidence to handle myself. I valued Keith’s no-nonsense yet sympathetic approach, the benefit of his knowledge of Family Law and his understanding of people. Keith is very serious and professional, yet at times he was also able to make me laugh during what was one of the darkest periods of my life. I felt very confident having Keith on my side.
