Testimonials

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.

I used Maguire Family law for a divorce. They were helpful, efficient and very diligent to achieve the best service for me.  They helped to expediate the divorce process to a conclusion as it had stalled without their help in this matter.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance and I would use them again too.

I would recommend Robert Webster without any hesitation, he handled my case with the utmost professionalism and integrity, something which his opponent certainly can’t do.  We had the right outcome and that is down to Robert handling the case with the outcome in mind, for example making me more patient at times.

I would 100% recommend Maguire Family Law to anyone in the unfortunate position of an upcoming divorce.  Having been railroaded by my ex, Henry and Rob got immediately up to speed on my case and in the same week, response letters had been submitted to my Ex’s legal advisor and the courts.

Having Robert by your side through the entire process, gives you great confidence in the outcome on the case.  Certainly my outcome was better than I could have predicted.  Robert and Henry made great suggestions on appointment of Barrister and again the team got fully aligned and prepared in a really timely manner.  Who can ask for more…

I would like to thank Robert and Henry for the hard work and dedication over the last few years.  They are a credit to Maguire Family Law.

I was represented by Maguire Family Law in stressful family court proceedings and would not hesitate in recommending their services. They were impeccable from day one, always sharp, understanding, knowledgeable and sympathetic. They provided flawless legal services all round, and also went above and beyond at a human level – something particularly important in family law. I feel very fortunate to have had the team by my side in court and would most certainly hire them again.
