‘Impressive’.

Review by Michael Brown.

I was recommended Michael Thompson (Thompson Family Law) by Legal 500’s No.01 Family Law Solicitor in 2020 (SKO).
The recommendation was that Michael was hugely experienced in Court proceedings and in the field of Family Law - and is well respected by this top Legal 500 Lawyer Firm.
I realised it was incredibly important to understand the way Michael operates and to put complete trust in him.
I learnt Michael’s vast experience and expertise in Court mean that he is in Court conducting Proofs for the most part. An important point to understand. Michael is incredibly focussed and is backed up by an excellent support system of receptionists and solicitors. I would recommend simply telephoning the office regarding any questions you have and they will effectively triage your query.
At the heart of any legal appointment (engagement) you want to know your Lawyer is competent - has your best interests at heart - and will perform for you and your family. 2yrs on I can say Michael is someone of integrity - a calm ‘safe pair of hands’ who I observe is head and shoulders above his legal opposites in Court. Michael is a ‘brilliant’ Family Lawyer - lightening quick - and has a knowledge of the law that is quite impressive.

Highly recommended

When I approached Thompson Family Law in 2022 my civil case was on its knees. I had dismissed my previous legal team and started representing myself.
I needed help to get everything back on track as this was a matter of urgency!
My first point of contact was with Michael Thompson, he quickly reassured me that the firm will take on my child custody case and they will do their very best to get this to court.
I was appointed Ainslie Bennet to manage my case.
Words cannot express how eternally grateful I am that Ainslie Bennett was appointed to my case.
Ainslie help me through this legal journey with excellent advice, kind direction and moral support when times were challenging. With Ainslie Bennetts commitment, determination, and compassion I could not have asked for more.
The legal process for child custody is very challenging in so many ways, especially if you are a single dad. However, having a great legal team makes it just a little bit easier.
Ainslie Bennett, Michael Thompson, and the team have been excellent, I can’t recommend Thompson Family Law enough.

Excellent work by Johnny Thompson

After years of receiving poor advice/poor representation and getting no where with my case by other solicitors I finally found Johnny Thompson willing to help, within a few weeks he had understood my case, represented me in court and couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
Thank you

Worst mistake of my life

My experience with Thompson’s has been catastrophic.
I sought help for a divorce by Michael and was told it would go through within 3 months.

My divorce turned into a custody battle and I lost my children.
Michael never shared any documents with me, it took 4 months before I could see my divorce writ by my new solicitor.

There was no representation, impossible to get any contact and all the wrong advice was given.

I was forced to change solicitor, who has given me confidence back and had to seek my file from the defenders (my ex husbands) solicitor.

I was told by Michael at the very beginning to raise £1000 to get my divorce into court quickly although I receive legal aid.

Thompson’s only act for monetary gain rather than support for their clients.

The Thompson family members are also very abrupt and rude.

I will be making a formal complaint to SLCC
and believe that this firm should not be acting at all as they caused damage rather than fix anything for me.
