Peter is not just a solicitor - he is a friend, confidant and the greatest support throughout perhaps the most difficult experience in my life. Peter is always there to offer guidance, reassurance and advice whenever it is needed. Throughout this process, I have not once felt alone, thanks to Peter’s unwavering and constant support. Words cannot express how grateful I am. Thank you so much Peter

Peter is not just a solicitor, he is the most supportive, empathetic and greatest confidant along with it. Through every experience throughout my family court proceedings, he was there every step of the way - every meeting, appointment and hearing - and was only ever a phone call or message away. I don’t think I could have managed the past 2 years without his constant support and professional advice. Thank you Peter - for everything!

During a worrying time, Peter McIlvenny at McIlvenny Law handled a sensitive case on my behalf from start to finish. He was always on hand to answer any questions, providing reassurance and setting my mind at ease throughout the process. His professionalism, knowledge, and friendly approach made a difficult situation much more manageable. Peter handled everything with dignity and care, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert legal support.

I highly recommend Peter. After a very stressful and nasty custody battle that lasted 18 months, Peter remained consistently reassuring, empathetic, and incredibly helpful throughout. I switched to him after receiving a poor service from Campbell McCrudden in Glengormley. Many solicitors are hesitant to take over a case halfway through, especially during a busy period, but Peter listened, understood, and took me on when he didn’t have to. For that alone I’ll always be grateful. Peter is a father himself, which allowed us to relate on a deeper level, and he genuinely understood what we as parents and especially fathers go through during a custody dispute. For any dads reading this, there is hope. It took 18 months, but thanks to Peter’s guidance and expertise, I now see my son three nights a week. You can’t put into words how life-changing that is for both him and me. Family law isn’t black and white, there’s a huge emotional weight behind every decision. Peter is the right man to help you navigate it with compassion, clarity, and strength. I’ll be forever grateful for what he has done for me and my son. Highly recommended.

Peter McIlvenny has provided legal services in a very professional and compassionate manner over many years. His calmness and consideration has helped us to navigate what have sometimes been difficult and complicated matters leading to a successful outcome. We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone requiring assistance in matters related to family law.

I would definitely recommend Peter McIlvenny, from McIlvenny Law. From the very beginning, he was professional, approachable, and completely reliable. He always did exactly what he said he would, which gave me peace of mind during what was otherwise a very stressful and emotional time. His communication was excellent – clear, timely, and easy to understand – and I always felt fully informed about each step of the process. What made the biggest difference for me, though, was his human touch. He didn’t just treat my case as paperwork; he treated me with empathy, respect, and understanding. He listened, he reassured me when I needed it, and he struck the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine care. Thanks to his guidance and dedication, I felt supported from start to finish, and I truly believe I couldn’t have had a better solicitor by my side. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable in family law who also brings kindness and compassion to their work, Peter McIlvenny is the person you want in your corner.
