Advice on access to children following separation

5

Nicola has been extremely professional and helpful throughout our dealings with her. Her experience of the courts and law has been very helpful in reaching a conclusion to date and achieving a satisfactory interim solution. She has a very good way of negotiating solutions to issues arising. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic Knowledge and Honest

Met with Nicola who had very good knowledge of her area. She was very nice and put both me and my son at ease. Was very honest of best and worst case scenarios and cost implications. She was also happy to recommend alternative avenues if hers was not going to be possible.

Divorce finalised after Scullion representation tenacity

5

I would like to thank Nicola Buchanan and her colleagues at Scullion Law for enabling a really successfuly and happy conclusion to divorce proceedings first begun 14 years ago with another firm but unsuccessfully concluded in 2012. I resumed the process in 2021 with Scullion Law and the advice from Nicola was excellent, the service great and the drive to get the right result for me gave me a lot of confidence in achieving a good outcome. It turned a situation where it I might suffer financially and unfairly to fully resolving all financial matters to the satisfaction certainly of me and possibly grudingly my ex-spouse. Any challenges were supported, advised and pro-actively responded to, ensuring my best interests were always at the forefront of advice and my options were clearly defined. I found the Full package for the MOA was really good value for money too given my ex-spouse's unreasonable demands, challenges to terms and her own solicitors delaying matters.
I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola to everyone for representing you in divorce proceedings, she is first class, 5* plus and will ensure you get the right outcome.
