Divorce

I am so grateful to Lynne Mulcahy for guiding me through the process of my recent divorce proceedings. She listened, understood my concerns, and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated that she took a no-nonsense approach when dealing with my ex, ensuring my interests were protected at all times. She responded promptly to my emails and explained things clearly. I cannot thank Lynne enough and highly recommend Balfour & Manson.

This has been a very complicated and ever changing renewal. Katie has been extremely efficient and has kept me up to date with any communication. I appreciated a phone call before the court date to discuss any last minute concerns.

Minute of Agreement & Divorce prceedings

A very professional service from team at Balfour + Manson LLP. Lynn was very approachable and dealt with my situation patiently, taking the time to explain or expand on queries I had. Throughout the process, Lynn (Jan and the team) replied to my queries promptly and were able to answer emails & telephone calls in a timely fashion. I would recommend them to anyone going through the divorce process.

Lynne Mulchay

I don’t think I will ever truly be able to put into words what Lynne’s support has meant to me. She came into my life during one of the most frightening, stressful and emotionally exhausting times I have ever experienced, and from the very beginning I felt that she genuinely listened to me, understood me and cared about what I was going through. There were so many times when I was scared, overwhelmed and beside myself with worry. Lynne never dismissed those fears or made me feel like they didn’t matter. She listened, reassured me and always made sure I understood my options. At a time when I desperately needed someone to believe in me and what I was fighting for, I felt completely heard and supported. I had previous experience with another solicitor at another firm, and the difference was honestly night and day. With Lynne, I never felt like I was simply another case or another name on a file. When court eventually became my last resort, Lynne carefully talked me through the process, prepared me for what was ahead, and we took it one step at a time together. She never made light of what I was going through. Sometimes I just needed to talk through the little worries and niggles going around in my head, and she always found the time to get back to me promptly. That meant more to me than she probably realised. Jan was also an incredible support throughout. She showed the same compassion and professionalism as Lynne and they worked exceptionally well together ensuring I was kept informed in real time and supported at the drop of a hat if I needed it. I am incredibly grateful to her too. Having Lynne beside me made an unbearable situation less lonely. It can be difficult to believe anyone really understands what you have been through and continue to post separation but Lynne did. Without her, I genuinely don’t know how I would have found the strength or courage to keep going and keep fighting for the justice and protection my family needed. The case eventually concluded with the outcome we had hoped for. After everything it took to get there, that is something I will never take for granted. Looking back at where I started, how frightened and overwhelmed I was, and everything it took to reach that point is incredibly emotional. I will never be able to thank Lynne enough for what she has done for me and my family. Her compassion, professionalism, honesty and dedication made an incredibly painful experience bearable. I truly could not have done this without her, and I will always be grateful that she was the person in my corner throughout it all.

Professional and Compassionate Legal Support

I am extremely grateful to this firm for the professionalism, kindness and efficiency they showed me during an incredibly difficult time. With my husband in hospital, I was alone in a foreign country and facing a very stressful situation. From the very first contact, I was treated with understanding and compassion, and my concerns were handled promptly and professionally. A special thank you to Jordan Hay, who went above and beyond to help me. His patience, kindness and support made a real difference during a very difficult period. I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional and compassionate legal support. I am truly thankful for everything they did for me.

Thank you!!

I honestly can’t thank the team enough for everything they did throughout my case. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent, and I was always kept informed about what was happening. They took the time to listen to me, my concerns, and my views, and I always felt that my voice mattered. I never felt pressured into making decisions, and they made sure my wishes were put forward and respected throughout the process. My solicitor Alannah, took over my case part way through, which I was understandably a little anxious about, but she was absolutely brilliant! She quickly got to know my case, called me for a chat as soon as she started and made me feel completely at ease. She showed genuine compassion, kindness and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult and emotional time for me. I always felt listened to, supported, and reassured, and she never made me feel like I was just another case. Anytime i needed to ask anything or give my views on anything Alannah was so quick to respond, with such detail and guidance. I felt so listened to and understood. The whole team were professional, approachable and responsive, and I always knew I could contact them if I had any questions or worries. Their dedication and support made a very stressful experience much easier to get through. I am incredibly grateful for all of their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for solicitors who are not only highly knowledgeable but who genuinely care about their clients. Thank you all so much for everything you have done for me!!

My request on email was answered by a TRAINEE in COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. Unsure, if he would have the expertise to judge whether or not a Private Client, Wills and Executries Solicitor/partner would have been interested in supporting me! Very disturbing especially as they were recommended to me by a legal eagle!

We used Balfour and Manson for the sale and purchase of our home, and we worked with Adeeb from the beginning and he was fantastic. Comms were great, he clearly explained everything and answered our many questions. We would highly recommend this firm, and if you can work with Adeeb - an added bonus!
