Fantastic firm with the best legal professionals

I enquired with MBH back in October 2024 following a very difficult divorce, after having spoken to a number of other firms, I hadn't felt my voice had been heard. I got in touch with Gillian at MBH and she was a breath of fresh air, giving me hope that I was going to be able to come out with a better result than any other firm had envisioned. Gillian and Leah both represented me, they were always very professional, informative, honest, and provided the best service with a personal touch, too. I do not know what I would have done without their help, I would highly recommend MBH to anybody navigating a divorce.

TOLATA CLAIM.

Gillian Lavelle dealt with a TOLATA claim I made against an ex partner. The claim was dealt with efficiently and I was kept updated at all times. Gillian was professional throughout and I was very happy with the conclusion reached. I would heartily recommend Gillian and her team for matters such as this.

I would highly recommend MBH Solicitors, and particularly Gill. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly brings a great deal of expertise to her work. It was a pleasure speaking with someone who understands the legal landscape so well and can explain matters in a clear and practical way.
