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.

Many thanks, Julia, for handling my divorce. It’s a fantastic outcome, finally, and a major relief. I will be eternally grateful for all your help with this, dealing firmly and professionally with a difficult opponent side and steering things to success. I feel like a major burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I can start to move forward with certainty now.

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%.

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.

Livingstone Brown's Child-First Approach in Action
Creating a Path to Understanding
A mother came to us after her children began refusing contact with their father following domestic abuse incidents. He threatened court action, claiming she was turning them against him.
Our team brought in child psychology experts who revealed underlying trauma that needed addressing before contact could safely resume. We secured therapeutic support for the children while temporarily pausing legal proceedings.
By putting the children’s emotional needs first, we established a gradual, supervised contact plan that respected their healing process while rebuilding family relationships appropriately.
Your children’s wellbeing matters most during divorce. Whether facing complex emotional issues or difficult contact arrangements, our senior team understands what’s truly important. Contact us today to discuss protecting your children’s future.
