Heather Arnold represented me in my recent Children matter. She was approachable, compassionate, empathetic and hugely professional throughout. She laid things out clearly including setting my expectations where appropriate and made herself available for calls/emails whenever needed. Heather attended a number of Court Hearings with me and provided both professional and emotional support at all times. I'm very grateful to her and her wider team including Orla Connolly who provided invaluable assistance on the rare occasion Heather was unavailable.

Highly recommend
Yvonne was my rock throughout my divorce. From the very beginning, she made what felt like an overwhelming and lonely process so much more manageable.
Her patience, kindness, and guidance were exceptional. She took the time to talk me through every step, explaining everything clearly and never making me feel embarrassed about my lack of IT skills. She always put me at ease and gave me the confidence to move forward.
When it came to attending court, having Yvonne by my side made me feel supported, reassured, and strong. Knowing she was there meant I never felt like I was facing it alone.
Divorce is one of the hardest and loneliest experiences a person can go through, but thanks to Yvonne’s professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support, I came through it feeling heard, understood, and cared for.
I will always be grateful for everything she did for me and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a solicitor who truly goes above and beyond.

Some people remember the legal outcome. Others remember the person who helped them get through it.
Your description of Yvonne as "my rock" is one of the highest compliments a client can give. Divorce can be an isolating experience, and knowing that someone is there to guide, reassure and encourage you through every stage can make an enormous difference. We're particularly touched to hear how Yvonne took the time to explain everything at your pace, supported you in court and gave you the confidence to keep moving forward.
Thank you for sharing such a personal reflection on your journey. We know your words will mean the world to Yvonne and are a wonderful recognition of the care and commitment she brings to every client.

Paralegal Review
I had my paralegal, Lauryn Kelly, with me in court who I cannot recommend enough. She has been very supportive, kind and genuinely helped me through these hearings by checking up on me and reassuring me throughout the process. She has been a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to sit next to me in court. Thank you for the chats, the support and your kind, warm presence which has helped me more than you realise Lauryn. 100% 5 stars and would definitely recommend her.

Utter shambles from start t finish
A divorce that was advised would take 6-12 months took 3 years! They do NOT know how to manage a difficult spouse, as they just give in to adjournment after adjournment so the spouse can go on holidays and causes delay etc. As for money, well, I cannot even say here how much this has cost me, a senior pensioner. They advise to get credit cards, borrow money from family and friends then when they can see you have some funds, it's like they just want to ensure they utilise as much of it as possible. Over communication, unwarranted communication, they call you but don't tell you how much that call is going to cost you. Getting barristers that are extremely costly, but no results.
There is too much to mention here, however, if your divorce is simple I am sure they can help you. Don't even bother if things are going to be difficult, promises that just don't pan out as even on my last court date they were asking for yet another adjournment which would bankrupt me. Thank God the judge that day had cancellations and decided that enough was enough as the spouse was on yet another holiday and didn't bother to turn up or be represented in court. So many people involved in the case, emails copied in to people who you do not know and have not been advised of. And all they tell you when you ask is...they're learning. Yes they did learn, they got promoted while you were still at a standstill!
I complained and requested some funds to be refunded and got a minimum, and that is because I had other things going on in my life that I could not take this further.
I felt totally unrepresented and not listened to by this company and I certainly would not recommend them to anyone going through such a traumatic time in their life.

Thank you Lucy
I had an excellent experience with my solicitor, Lucy Fitzpatrick throughout the entire process. She were incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions I had, no matter how small. Her communication was outstanding—I was kept informed every step of the way and always felt reassured that my case was being handled professionally.
I was particularly impressed with her ability to prioritise matters efficiently, ensuring that important deadlines were met and that everything progressed as smoothly as possible. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive solicitor. Thank you for your excellent work Lucy.
