They have helped me with everything, providing all the help, support and necessary action required to progress and finalise my case. I cannot thank them enough! Thank you to Philip and the whole team who are so polite, friendly and supportive during such difficult times.

I cannot recommend Philip Porter at Fiona Bruce Solicitors highly enough. From the very first consultation, I felt completely supported and reassured. Complex legal terms and procedures were always explained in plain, easy-to-understand language which gave me confidence in the decisions I had to make. I always felt informed and my questions were always answered promptly. Philip's negotiations skills were outstanding, balancing firmness with fairness and ensuring my interests were protected. If you are looking for a leading solicitor who is clearly an expert in his field, approachable and genuinely invested in securing the best outcome for you, I wholeheartedly recommend Philip.

Divorce

Mr Porter was extremely helpful in progressing my divorce, particularly when dealing with a difficult opposite party who were not engaging in good faith and were constantly being obstructive. Mr Porter gave advice that was in my long term interests and was tenacious in ensuring my divorce was fully completed and pro active in contacting the other side to drive the case to a resolution. I would definitely recommend his services to others.

I dealt with Philip on a family law matter. He was totally on top of the legal issues and very practical in his approach. He was also careful on costs and sensitive to the personal issues involved. I would thoroughly recommend him as a very professional and reliable lawyer.

Just wanted to give a big thankyou to both Philip Porter & Pauline Lafferty for helping me through what has been a very stressful process. All was explained clearly & in layman's terms, both were so patient with me despite my occasional rant at the whole legal process. An all round professional service which, some other solicitors could do with taking a leaf out of their book. I highly recommend this practices service.

We would highly recommend Fiona Bruce solicitors. We were represented by Philip Porter for a child arrangements order. He is highly experienced and very professional. He always responded to us promptly and was able to apply his knowledge and expertise to our case giving us the best possible outcome. The team at Fiona Bruce work collaboratively together and nothing was too much trouble.
