Testimonials

Maguire Family Law came to my aid at a very difficult period in my life.  I’ve heard other people in the past talk about painful divorces but you never expect it to happen to you.  This was a very difficult experience and now I feel like a cloud has been lifted off my shoulders and I can move on with my life. To read lies written about you is also a shock to the system and sometimes it’s important for others to hear the lies so you don’t feel you are going mad.  Fortunately I am not mad and conscience is clear and my head is held high again.

They do not offer any guarantees but they do help guide you through the legal process of separation in a way that would otherwise be too daunting if not impossible.

Karima is diligent, professional and courteous and I would have no problem recommending this company to anyone going through a painful separation.

There is a sign in their reception “Everything is going to be alright”, and do you know what…. It is 😊

Having James and his team in my corner whilst going through one of the worst times in my life was the best decision I made. James offered a realistic and compassionate service, always understanding my concerns whilst guiding me through the whole process.

Having had dealings with Maguire Family Law for a number of years now I can say they are one of the top Law Firms when it comes to efficiency and professionalism.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you to you and Maguire Family Law team for your preparation and excellent work. The outcome was more than I was expecting and even with a surprise or two thrown in!

Currently going through the divorce process and have found the team at Maguire Family Law to be understanding, efficient, confident, good communicators, excellent legal knowledge & logical.

I can call, email or have a face-to-face meeting at any time but I am confident that progress is being made as I receive relevant updates and the team are proactive.

Thank you for the prompt, professional and friendly service I have come to appreciate from Maguire Family Law and Francesca.

I chose Maguire Law after researching google and found positive reviews.  From the very first contact to closure of my case the service received from Henry has been excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend this family law firm.  Without the expertise and diligence given to my case I may still be without an outcome.  You have given me closure and can now move on and for that I am extremely grateful – thank you.

First of all I would just like to say thank you for everything you have done for me from the first time we met nearly 18 months ago to the last hearing in October 2024. I can’t really put into words how much it means to me how much hard work, time and effort into every phone call, meeting and email. The main thing that stood out for throughout the whole process was how much my child was the centre of your attention and not me. Whenever matters got heated it was your cool head that kept me on track in doing what’s best.  I would never be able to repay you for what you have done for me over the last 18 months. Even though the case has come to its conclusion and I am happy with every outcome, I will miss being in contact with you and hopefully we can meet up again one day without the stress of a court case hanging over us.

I chose Maguire Family Law based on Google reviews and I am not dispappointed. Excellent face to face meeting, easy to understand, quick response times, availability to meet in person when I need to, happy and quick to explain / answer all questions.

Professional friendly service where no stone is left unturned. If I were in a similar position going forward I would have no hesitation to use the team at Maguires.

I just wanted to let you know how my life has progressed since you represented me during my divorce.

I now have the kids week on / week off. The kids are doing amazingly well and seem unaffected by the shitstorm that was the divorce. I now get to be the parent I always wanted to be.

Thank you so much for the help you gave me, your sympathy, expertise and strength. I also thank you for the conciliatory approach you urged me towards. I always think that a single penny spent on lawyers is a waste of money but you were WORTH EVERY PENNY just to get my kids back and contribute to maintaining my sanity during what was the most horrific years of my life.

Grateful forever for your help.
