"Three York lawyers are among a select group of solicitors to win national status for their skills at family law. Philip Chapman, of Mitchells, and Dorothy Nott and Beverly Drake, or Crombie Wilkinson, met junior minister Jane Kennedy MP at a House of Commons reception to mark their achievement. Together with 85 other solicitors from across the country, they have become accredited specialist family lawyers after passing exams in a new scheme run by the Solicitors Family Law Association.

York's Labour MP Hugh Bayley met the trio at Westminster."
