What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Belfast, Larkin Cassidy Solicitors has earned consistent praise for its family law work, with reviewers repeatedly naming Sinead as a steady and approachable presence through divorce and child custody disputes. Her professionalism is described as unwavering across cases lasting several years, and her willingness to fight a client's corner is singled out alongside the safe outcomes achieved for children. Hannah is credited with easing the anxiety of a first family court experience, explaining matters in plain terms and responding promptly to queries.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the blend of legal expertise with genuine sensitivity; the wider team, including Paula, is acknowledged for helpfulness and for treating every enquiry as worthwhile, whatever its size. Clients describe being guided through dark and difficult periods with care, and the advice given is valued for keeping matters on a constructive footing. The practice covers divorce, child custody and general family matters, and the thread running through the feedback is of capable, compassionate representation from the outset and steady support as proceedings unfold.

Sinéad and her team were professional, caring and sensitive, advising and supporting me through the divorce process. This was all a new experience for me , but they helped me navigate through this difficult time and I felt in capable hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Sinéad and team to anyone needing high quality legal advice.

I can not say enough good things about Larkin Cassidy. From all the office staff (who couldn’t be nicer) to the solicitors, I’m extremely happy and impressed with the service I have received. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is in need of legal advice. I first called them after an extremely distressing incident and Hannah instantly put my mind ease. She is absolutely brilliant and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, knowledgeable solicitor. She was consistent in keeping me updated on the matters of my case so I was never left worrying what was going on. Hannah has been very kind, patient and reassuring throughout all her dealings with me. For this I’m genuinely appreciative and grateful to her especially given how stressful and difficult family court is. She managed my expectations and I have complete confidence following her advice.

When you are taking your first steps with the Family Court as a father, it's natural to have doubts and worries. However, from the very beginning, Hannah put my mind at ease and assured me that everything would be okay. What I initially thought would be a daunting and overwhelming experience was made simple and straightforward thanks to Hannah’s professionalism, knowledge, and sharpness. She was always incredibly prompt in responding to any queries I had, no matter how big or small, and consistently treated me with respect and understanding. Polite, well-mannered, and highly professional, Hannah articulated my case so clearly and effectively at the Final Hearing that it was obvious this was more than just a job to her, she genuinely cared about me as a client and about achieving the best possible outcome. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. An outstanding solicitor.
