I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Mrs Julia Donnelly for her invaluable assistance over the past year with my family action concerning residence of my child, and a specific issue order. Her expertise and dedication were instrumental in reaching a suitable agreement to resolve the case. I am sincerely grateful, and cannot thank her enough for her outstanding assistance.

We wish to convey that we received a first class service from Livingstone Brown which was excellent from start to finish. We never felt we were a burden and always felt connected, which radiates just how at ease these guys make you feel. Their attention to detail and their knowledge is absolutely outstanding. To describe them we would say, ‘Nothing short of fantastic and a great family law firm to deal with!

Livingstone Brown have been absolutely great with all of the support they have given me. They pushed my cases for me and helped me fight for my kids. If it hasn’t been for them, my cases would have fallen through. I felt they always supported me 100%.
Jan 2020
If it hadn't been for my solicitors' advice and determination, I wouldn't have a relationship with my kids. There were so many times when I wanted to give up, or where I thought there was no point in continuing, especially after the grounds of referral were established. I'm so grateful.

I highly recommend Livingston Brown & specifically Ms. Watson for any advice & family law matters.

Our Latest Success Story
Protecting What Matters Most to You
When a business owner came to us facing divorce proceedings, they had one critical concern: protecting the company they’d worked so hard to build. Their spouse was attempting to claim substantial business assets through the courts – a situation that could have impacted not just our client’s personal wealth, but the company’s ability to operate.
Our team of senior partners provided clear guidance through each step. By developing a robust legal strategy, we successfully protected the business from capital claims while maintaining complete discretion throughout the proceedings. The result: the business remained intact and independent, allowing our client to confidently lead their company forward.
Every divorce situation is unique, and we understand what’s at stake for you. Whether it’s your business interests, family relationships, or personal assets, our senior team provides the strategic guidance you need to secure your future. Speak with us today for a confidential consultation.
