"I'm very happy with the service I received from Brodies. Very glad of the astute advice and helpful support of Kate Bradbury in the family team. I felt that Kate recognised the issues, knew what was needed and made sure my interests were protected properly. Made a world of a difference. I actually found Brodies by searching for 'LGBTQ' and 'law' - and I'm really glad I did - it was important that Kate as my solicitor made me feel that I was being heard, and that my interests were being taken seriously, and that she was therefore fully understanding the situation, and what my needs were, and could therefore represent me very effectively, and she did do exactly that."

"The service I got from Brodies was great. My lawyer Kate Bradbury was very professional, was calm and reassuring, and explained things clearly without being patronising. Any queries I had were always quickly responded to, and I knew I could call her any time I needed to. Kate made a tough emotional situation as simple as it could be for me, and helped me at each step. I also got my will done by Brodies which was extremely simple and quick to do. I would recommend Brodies and consider using them again."
