The professionalism, compassion, and perseverance displayed by Sarah (ably supported by Eildh and Yve), guided me through what was a highly complex situation with many unexpected twists.
I am truly grateful and my heartfelt thanks go to all the team at Brodies.

Brodies provided us with legal advice and professional services after the untimely death of our daughter earlier this year leaving behind her 5 year old son, whose wishes were to remain in our care as his father lives overseas. The advice and guidance that was given by both Sarah and Eildh was of the highest standard. No question was ignored and thoughtful guidance was always provided. The empathy shown by both Sarah and Eildh was gratefully received during this traumatic period and we would strongly recommend the services, especially in family matters, of Brodies LLP.

I worked with Eildh McRitchie-Conacher for my divorce, which was international as I am now in the US but married in Scotland. I was beyond thankful for all of her flexibility, knowledge, and support throughout the whole process. She made things as easy as possible, and handled all the contact with the other party professionally and firmly. She was easy to contact and responded quickly and thoroughly, I never felt like I was bothering her or asking silly questions. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for help, especially with tricky or unusual situations like mine.

Sarah and Eildh are highly professional, engaging and companionate people. Their communication regarding all aspects of my case, was always completed in a timely manner and clear to the point. Throughout the 2 years i worked with Sarah and Eildh, their advice given was precise and clarified at all times. I would recommend Brodies LLP and revert to Sarah or Eildh if you required representation for either divorce or child welfare issues.

The team that I dealt with at Brodies LLP were nothing short of fantastic. Throughout what was a really trying time they made myself and my wife feel at ease and confident that everything was being taken care of. Eildh kept us informed at every step and really listened to us and our wishes along the way. I couldn't recommend them highly enough, absolutely brilliant.
