"Sarah dealt with my family law case. I had no idea what to expect. All my concerns were dealt with confidently which put me at ease in what was a stressful situation.
I can't recommend Brodies enough for the service provided. I will definitely use them again in the future."

"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."

"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."
