    They held my hand every step of the way and gave us the safe, secure future we desperately needed

    Working with Denise Higgins and Keyjana Raymond was a transformative experience during an extraordinarily exposing and tumultuous time for my family. Securing a Special Guardianship Order felt daunting, but their deep empathy, legal expertise, and attention to detail made all the difference. When I saw just how thoroughly they addressed every single question and concern on our behalf, I knew I was safe to step back, heal, and simply focus on being a parent. They didn't just handle a legal case—they held my hand every step of the way and helped me rebuild our lives on stronger, healthier foundations. Today, my children are thriving in school with incredible support around them, our home is full of stability, and my family is flourishing in ways I couldn't have imagined. It turned out so much better than I ever expected. I am endlessly grateful for their dedication, compassion, and unwavering support. They gave my children back their childhood and gave our family our future. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Divorce Respondent

    Whilst an unwelcome divorce, it was necessary to deal with process and the financial challenges. Eloise was always welcoming in a friendly and professional way, being prepared to discuss alternative proposals I suggested on some matters, to advance negotiations and resolution with the Applicant's lawyers, for ultimate endorsement of the agreed settlement by the Court. I would thus recommend Woodfines and particularly Eloise, to anyone contemplating or responding to a divorce petition.

Her advice was confidently given in a manner that was easy to understand. She was a pleasure to work with and she enabled us to get through a difficult process at a difficult time.

      We are extremely grateful to the whole Woodfines team for their help and support throughout the process of buying our new house. It wasn’t an easy journey, and there were certainly some stressful moments along the way, but with the support and guidance of Woodfines, we made it through. The legal side of the process was particularly challenging and stressful, but the team were always professional, helpful, responsive, and supportive whenever we needed them. We strongly recommend Woodfines!!!

      should have written this review years ago. I have worked with Michael Roche and Woodfines for more than nine years, and throughout that time Michael has been nothing short of exceptional. Most recently, he very kindly obtained some important historic ledgers for me incredibly quickly. This was hugely helpful and once again demonstrated the level of care, responsiveness and personal commitment he brings to his clients. As a property developer, I regularly deal with transactions and legal matters where clear advice, commercial understanding and absolute confidence in the solicitor acting for you are essential. Michael has consistently given me that confidence. He is extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic, approachable and always takes the time to understand both the legal position and the commercial realities behind it. Over the years, Michael and the wider team at Woodfines have provided an outstanding service and have always made me feel that my matters genuinely matter to them. That consistency over such a long period is rare and deserves recognition. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. Anyone looking for an exceptional commercial property lawyer — and a solicitor they can trust completely — would be in extremely safe hands with him. A very well-deserved five stars for both Michael and Woodfines.

      Dear Justin, Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review regarding Michael. We are delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with us over the years, and that your recent matter was resolved quickly. We agree with your kind words regarding Michael's approachable nature, care and knowledge, and are so pleased that you have received consistent exceptional service from the team.
