Legal Executive at Blanchards Bailey LLP

Julie Keogh

Legal Executive

I have practised exclusively as a family lawyer in Dorset since 2006 and joined Blanchards Bailey in January 2020, bringing with me a wealth of experience in family law matters such as divorce, finance and property and children. I regularly deal with children's cases including Private and Public Law Proceedings, Special Guardianship, Adoption, Child Abduction, Injunctions and Civil partnerships. I have extensive experience in helping clients to resolve financial matters and disputes in respect of their children following all forms of relationship breakdown and am committed to helping parties find solutions with regard to their finances and children as amicably as possible. I have a particular interest in matters involving domestic abuse and have always gone above and beyond my role as a lawyer.

Julie was very helpful and informative. I feel that I understand the process and am aware of the potential situation should an amicable agreement not be reached.

I was dealing with the ending of a difficult relationship. Julie listened, asked pertinent questions, dealt with the other side for me and ensured I had a barrister who understood and was able to advocate for me

Divorce Settlement

5

Having experienced a bad experience with another firm, I transferred my divorce proceedings to Julie following a family recommendation.
Julie was quick to review and advise at each remaining stage of my divorce and ensured all matters were addressed and that I fully understood the options available.
Julie’s knowledge ensured the divorce was dealt with in a fair way.
I would highly recommend Julie and Blanchards, a very professional service received.

Financial dispute resolution

5

Julie was exceptionally professional throughout the procedure, yet also very friendly and approachable. The law can often seem dry, unyielding, and unfair. However, Julie has a remarkable ability to translate legal jargon, especially in family law, into terms that even I could easily understand. I found Julie and her support team extremely supportive throughout what for me, was a very traumatic experience.

I have used this firm for many difficult years over the long period it took to bring a divorce to its conclusion. My thanks to all that were involved from the friendly faces at reception bringing a much needed warmth through difficult times, right through to the expert guidance from courts systems via the mountain of admin one faces. 5 star all the way. my thanks to each and everyone for playing their part.

Julie and her team (Paula, Jade & Sofia) Provided me with a beyond expectation level of confidence in their work. I got the outcome I wanted and beyond that, I was provided with the care and quality of work that anyone expects in the family area of law. They were there when I needed emotional support as well as professional. I would 100% recommend Julie to anyone asking for a family solicitor. Thank you Blanchards Bailey, Julie and team x
