Transfer of title deeds
I have been dealing with scullion law solicitors through my whole process of the the break up of my marriage and everyone i have dealt with have been fantastic, my interactions with Claire for the back and forth getting to a point where a MOA could be agreed were very helpful, then Carly took over with the compiling of the MOA and again she was fantastic, then most recently with regards to the title of deeds transfer i have been dealing with Conor who has been very informative with the whole process, keeping me informed of any changes and requirements and very prompt in answering any questions or queries.

Matrimonial advice
I have a very constructive meeting with Claire and I found her empathetic and attentive, but above all she explained succinctly and clearly my rights and the process moving forward. I was left feeling re assured that I had a trusted advisor and wouldn't hesitate to use her again or indeed recommend to others in a similar position.
