Irena and Kerri-Ann have made me feel valued for 3.5 years
Irena and the team have been looking after my child and I for 3.5 years. The stress and process at times has been immensely painful but from the moment I discovered BH&O Legal my hand has been held. Irena has supported me through an incredibly difficult time and I have felt like she has been on this journey with us, standing by my side. Going over and above at times to respond or resolve queries I had, Irena has an incredible way of empowering me to form a decision for myself which is something I have always struggled with, whilst also guiding and advising where necessary within the limitations of her specialism. The team have all also been very attentive and helpful. They have always made sure I felt safe and supported. Thank you.

Family issues
From day one my solicitor's approach and advice regarding my situation was always in my best interests and my son. I cannot find anything that was not Efficient when it came to providing feedback or on our schedule meetings. She worked with my available timings and provided the support I needed for my case.

Family Court
I would highly recommend BH&O to anyone who is looking to seek legal advice.
Kerri-Anne Matthews and Irena Osborne went above and beyond to support me throughout my case. From the moment I made contact with BH&O I felt reassured and at ease, I was able to contact Kerri-Anne or Irena with any worries or questions I had throughout the process and they were always answered promptly.
I am extremely grateful for the support I received during a very difficult time.
I will definitely be recommending BH&O.

Exceptional Legal Representation: A Review of BHO Solicitors
I recently had the privilege of working with BHO Solicitors, and I can confidently say that my experience surpassed all expectations. From the outset, the team, led by Irena, displayed an unparalleled level of professionalism and dedication to my case.
One aspect that greatly contributed to my peace of mind was Irena's consistent involvement in my case. Unlike other firms where different barristers may handle different aspects, Irena's commitment to being involved in discussions and representing me in court ensured continuity and a deep understanding of my situation. This seamless continuity not only facilitated effective communication but also instilled a sense of trust and confidence in the process.
Irena's expertise and presence in court were nothing short of remarkable. Her ability to navigate complex legal proceedings with poise and confidence left me reassured throughout the entire process. Not only did she advocate for my interests effectively, but her compassion and understanding truly set her apart. I felt heard and supported every step of the way, thanks to Irena's unwavering commitment to my case.
Moreover, I cannot speak highly enough of Kerri's contributions to my litigation. Her attention to detail was meticulous, ensuring that no aspect of my case went overlooked. Kerri's clear communication and proactive approach kept me informed and involved, fostering a sense of trust and transparency that is invaluable in legal matters.
What truly sets BHO Solicitors apart is their unwavering focus on the well-being of the child involved. At every turn, Irena and Kerri prioritized the best interests of my child, demonstrating a level of care and dedication that is truly commendable.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend BHO Solicitors to anyone in need of legal representation. Their child-focused approach, combined with their attention to detail, compassionate understanding, and commitment to continuity, sets them apart as leaders in their field. I am immensely grateful for their support and would not hesitate to seek their services again in the future.
