What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Family law work, including divorce, cohabitation disputes and child access arrangements, forms the core of what clients describe at this Aberdeen practice. A recurring theme in feedback is the reassurance clients felt when instructed solicitors combined professional handling with personal sensitivity. Kate Bradbury is repeatedly named for clear explanations, prompt replies to correspondence and a focus on keeping chargeable time proportionate, with wills also handled simply and swiftly. Garry Sturrock is credited with courteous and efficient conduct of sensitive cases, several of which concluded in the client's favour.

Lydia McLachlan is noted for steering a complex settlement involving an international dimension, showing resolve on contentious points while remaining empathetic. Donna McKay is praised for accepting a case at short notice following a personal referral and for involving colleagues in other specialisms as required. Joanne is remembered for guiding a divorce through obstruction from the other party with care and professionalism. The consistent thread running through accounts is that advice was delivered patiently, without condescension, and that clients felt supported through emotionally demanding proceedings.

Terrible service, gave a bad advice and charged me an enormous amount of money for basically nothing knowing full well that I’m in a very bad position financially. If you value your time and money, don’t go there.

My experience using Joanne has been nothing but amazing. She handled my divorce from my ex partner with care and professionalism and despite my ex making everything as difficult as possible we got there in the end thanks to her advice. Highly recommend anyone going through a divorce to use Joanne at Brodies.

Lydia was my solicitor throughout a divorce. Her advice was sound, she responded promptly to every query I had and I learnt a lot from her about how to handle things in a way that was assertive but fair. All documents for the divorce she dealt with were completed thoroughly and swiftly. After listening to her advice over several months, I now have the confidence to ensure i behave appropriately and in a way I am proud of, while making sure i don't get walked over. I have tried to respond to every email I have received from my ex since our divorce in a way that Lydia would and it has made me stronger and more self-asssured even after Lydia and I have parted ways.

Dealt with Sophie Richardson at very late notice and she absolutely went over and above her duty!! Very happy with the outcome and will be forever grateful for her last minute help.

We have dealt with Garry twice now and both times he has been helpful and courteous, even though this was a long emotional sensitive case. Both times our cases have been in our favour

Associate Lawyer Kate Bradbury of Brodies represented me regarding a co-habitation dispute. She was extremely professional and supportive throughout, ensuring she had an understanding of my individual circumstances. Kate also ensured that she was efficient whilst providing her services so that I didn't have to pay for any more of her time than necessary. Kate responded to all E-mails in a timely fashion and offered excellent advice. I was very pleased with the services she provided.
