“I really appreciated how I was listened to and understood in my separation/divorce by your solicitors. It was very important to me that the focus was not on financial settlements, what I wanted was to ensure the best arrangements for my daughter and that was achieved through the minute of agreement and divorce proceedings. I felt understood that the relationship as a co-parent was more important than point scoring or “winning” in the court arena. Your team have helped me secure the best arrangements for my daughter and keeping this out of the court arena, which I am so grateful for. I am also thankful for the emotional support and understanding from your solicitors, I have felt supported from the first first phone call, up to the last emails confirming the divorce had been agreed by the Sheriff Court. Thank you again, I hope that I won’t have the need to do any of this again, but if I did, then I would definitely want the same team supporting me. Thank you!”

“Going through a separation and divorce with young children can be a real challenging, emotional time and ensuring the security of the children’s needs, and their future, is paramount. Having Laura and Harper MacLeod supporting my case during such procedures was very helpful, supportive and went really smoothly, despite feeling it could be very anxiety provoking. However, I can honestly say the service I was provided with was first class – I felt very informed when making choices, listened to, and most of all, the needs of both myself and my children were always addressed promptly without any long delays. I commend Laura for her excellent service and people skills – she really did go above and beyond to ensure she was with me every step of the way. Since having Harper Macleod representation I have a new home, my children have settled well with a fair agreement for childcare and their time with their dad. I would recommend this company for anyone who requires the vital support during a separation, or divorce, in relation to children and their needs.”

I am very grateful and cannot recommend Harper Macleod highly enough.”
