Private Child Arrangements

Our lawyer, Ms Katherine McGuire, guided and advised me and husband every step of the way.

Her approach was professional and supportive. She was constantly on hand to answer our questions, and made valuable suggestions that helped us to make decisions at various stages of the case.

Her calm and collective manner was a blessing, and it helped us to deal with all the legal challenges. She explained legal terminology with ease, so we knew exactly what was needed from us.

We are grateful to have had Katherine manage our case.

Georgia

GoodLaw Solicitors, and specifically Owen Walsh, were absolutely brilliant. We couldn't have asked for a better service. We had never leased a commercial property before so the process was quite unfamiliar. Owen patiently guided us every step of the way. He answered all our questions promptly and clearly, gave excellent advice and was just generally great to deal with. It made what could have been quite a stressful process much easier. Would definitely recommend. And if our experience with Owen is reflective of the standard of all solicitors at GoodLaw we would use the firm again for any other legal processes.

Navigating commercial property transactions for the first time can be challenging, and we’re glad we could make the experience smoother for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your kind words about Owen and our firm. We’d be delighted to assist you again in the future. Kind regards,
