I qualified as a Solicitor in 1999. Before then I worked in the legal sector for a number of years. I have had the pleasure of looking after the interests of my clients in relation to many different types of legal cases and areas of law. I do genuinely consider it to be a privilege to represent people, whether that is giving them advice generally or standing up for their interests in court. Read more...

Fantastic

From my initial phone call and all the way through the process of applying for guardianship for my mother I could not recommend McCarthy Law enough. Every single step of the process was explained thoroughly and dealt with not only professionally but with a real friendly,personal touch as well. We mainly dealt with Lee and I can't thank her enough for her expertise during this time. Thank you so much.

Guardianship

We appointed this Solicitor to help us through the process of obtaining guardianship for our Mum. From the very beginning they were professional, supportive and inclusive in our journey. The staff was also commented on by the medical professionals who confirmed our legal team were very effective and efficient in obtaining the necessary information to support our claim for the court application.
We now have been appointed guardianship and can’t imagine having gone through this process without them and their team. Thank you.

It would take a lot of time to write out just how thankful I am to the good people of McCarthy Law for everything they did for me. But if you are looking at reviews, you probably just want to know what you will get if you go with them?

They will deliver a well communicated, professional service. Expert legal advice, and proactive handling. They friendly ofcourse but certainly not to the opposition, no, they will take those b*****s to the cleaners.

So if you are at the beginning of your legal journey, wondering where to go or what to do next, pick up the phone and give them a call.

I would highly recommend! Clear and fast communication from Kathleen and the team. Their 'hand-holding', voice of reason and empathetic approach really made a difference for me navigating the divorce process.

Kathleen and the team assisted me in a Guardianship issue with a relative and prepared Power of Attorney documents for my wife, mother and myself.
I was greatly impressed by their assured professionalism; the easy manner which they explained things and the promptness in which they dealt with everything.
Will certainly seek their services again when the need arises.

We recently reached out to McCarthy Law with a query regarding my Dad becoming the financial and welfare guardian of my Aunty.

Not only did they represent my Dad in court, they kept us in the loop with the process every step of the way. Kathleen was great and explained everything to us so we could understand exactly what was happening.

Lee was great at keeping my Dad updated with correspondence and myself via email.

Professional and prompt service from day one. We can’t thank them enough for their support and would recommend their services to anyone looking for support with family law.

About this branch

Description

I established McCarthy Law in 2013 as I wanted to spend as much of my time as possible assisting my clients on a one to one basis. My overheads are low meaning that my clients can get the full benefit of my legal experience without having to pay hourly rates more commonly associated with larger law firms. I offer Legal Aid where it is appropriate to do so – not all law firms do. Since starting McCarthy Law I have been able to help clients in my key areas of experience and expertise – personal injury claims of all types; family matters including divorce and separation; wills; power of attorney work and guardianship orders… I never lose sight of the fact that every instruction I receive is in relation to a matter that is of extreme importance to my client and accordingly I treat it as such. My approach is simple… I keep my client central, deliver balanced and insightful advice to achieve the best outcomes. My academic qualifications are a degree in Scots Law (LLB), Master of Law (Medicine, Law and Ethics), and Notary Public. I am a member of the Family Law Association.
