I have worked closely with James over the last few months at the Manchester office and I couldn't be more grateful for his warm and empathic support. I highly recommend James and the support he has provided over the last few months.
I can’t thank Jennifer and Ruth enough for their exceptional support and professionalism throughout a child custody case. From the very beginning, they were calm, kind, patient, clear, and incredibly understanding during what was a very difficult and emotional time for me. I felt properly listened to and never judged, which made a huge difference when I found myself in a situation I honestly didn’t think I’d be in. Their guidance was consistently thorough and easy to follow, and they always explained my options in a way that made everything feel more manageable. I felt reassured knowing they were handling my case with such care and attention to detail. I’m genuinely grateful for everything they did, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing strong, compassionate legal support in family law matters.
James and his team are the best in the business. Top level knowledge and experience of family matters, coupled with a friendly approach.
I've enjoyed a close professional relationship with James, Eimear and the team at Maguire Family Law for more than 10 years, and have no hesitation in referring clients in need of family law support to the firm. They are knowledgeable, pragmatic and dynamic in their provision of legal services. We have worked together on divorce and children cases with an international dimension, which often raises the level of complexity to the advice provided. James Maguire is a lawyer at the top of his game.
James and his leadership team at Maguire Family Law are second to none. I have worked closely with James, Eimear and Katie for nearly a decade. They epitomise professionalism and are leaders in their field. They provide an outstanding level of client service. They care and understand their client's individual needs, delivering at all times, clear tactically astute advice.
Jen from the Manchester office at Maguire Family Law is a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, communication and professionalism is second to none. Highly recommend those seeking family law advice to speak with Jen.
I have worked with Maguire Family Law for a number of years, and they have consistently been—and continue to be—among the top tier of matrimonial lawyers in Manchester.
