About Us

Many thanks for your recent work related to my divorce…..I would particularly like to thank Amanda Richardson for her excellent communications and support.

Thank you so so much Amanda. Actually there’s no words to thank you. I feel great. After all these years I’m finally free. Thank you.

Marjory, thank you for a really positive meeting on Friday. I feel things are a lot clearer in my head – I came out of your offices feeling great!

Hi Marjory, thanks again for being an absolute joy to work with during this unknown and nerve-wracking process. You made me feel calm and reassured throughout (not an easy task). I will definitely recommend you to anyone else looking for representation.

Splendid work Marjory, it has been a treat to use BTO and your services.

I am in no doubt I have made the correct choice by having BTO Solicitors represent me in such a difficult time. I am under no illusion you and your team will continue to do the best for me in future. Many many thanks for today. I am eternally grateful.

I would have no hesitation recommending Lesley Gordon to anyone I know who needs the services of a divorce lawyer. It was a very positive experience all things considered and I have come out of the process a much stronger person thanks to Lesley.

Just wanted to say huge thank you to Lesley Gordon. I left the offices empowered and liberated. Not sure any psychologist would have done a better job! On top of her real job.

Hi Marjory, my daughter and her son are doing great. Everything seems to have calmed down. She and her husband finished the mediation process after a couple of visits as they both felt they had to step up to the mark for their son’s sake not for personal reasons. Once again thanks for all the… Read more “Thanks for all the expert guidance through a trying situation”

I would like to thank you again for all your work and help guiding us through a very stressful time.

My dear legal team! I have been writing this letter of thanks in my head since about two months ago, and didn’t know it would take a bit longer than expected to actually be able to express my deep gratitude to you ALL for winning this tough and enduring process for me……I would like to… Read more “I would like to thank my exceptional Scottish team”

Lesley has financial knowledge and gravitas. I think she is faultless.

I met with Denise after a less than satisfactory meeting with another lawyer. I left the previous meeting feeling despondent, very negative about moving forward and confused by the advice I had been given. My meeting with Denise was an entirely different experience. She explained things in a clear and succinct way, was incredibly supportive… Read more “Incredibly supportive and sensible”

Amanda…May I take this opportunity to thank you for your help in these matters. Although I am a resilient person, it has not been easy, but you have smoothed the pathway with your efficiency…

Sarah has done an excellent job on this case. From my perspective, she has been incredibly helpful and courteous. She has clearly fought her client’s position robustly and secured good outcomes at every stage of the case.

Dear Marjory, I just wanted to say a huge thanks for all your help, advice and counsel throughout my recent collaborative process. You definitely made a difficult process easier for me. Thank you.

Lesley, thank you so much for all your help. It turned out to be a very uncomplicated matter in the end and probably not the most interesting for you. However our anxieties were greatly alleviated with your advice and work

Beverley thank you so much for all your hard work and making things run as smoothly as possible. Great service.

I would like to thank you Lesley again for the wonderful job you and your team did for me at a very difficult time in my life.

I was having a horrendous time with a legal firm that I was using for my separation/divorce, so I decided to change my lawyer and used BTO. I was put in touch with Denise Laverty and as my case proceeded it turned out a very wise decision. Denise was professional, diligent and knowledgeable, and my… Read more “Denise was professional, diligent and knowledgeable”

Many thanks again Denise for all your help!! The boys are “living the dream!” When you make the difficult decision to relocate abroad which will considerably enhance the life of your children even when it means they will leave one parent behind, it can be met with understandable resistance from the other parent. Thankfully, I… Read more “It turns out it was one of the best decisions I ever made”

Hi Beverley – I would just like to email you to thank you for your services today and commend you on doing a stellar job. I was very pleased with how things went today. The level of professionalism you showed was much to my satisfaction and greatly appreciated. I felt very relaxed at having you… Read more “I was very pleased with how things went today”

Marjory, I just wanted to say thanks very much for your help right throughout the case. Lately, the ad hoc support has been invaluable and given me the confidence to keep representing myself and not feel pushed into agreeing something I’m not comfortable with. I appreciate how difficult it must be to provide support when… Read more “I certainly feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders”

Amanda, many thanks for seeing all this through for me. I cannot believe that after the best part of two and a half years of frustration (pre BTO), things have been finalised in about twelve weeks.

Looking back I wish my ex-wife and I would have gone down the collaborative divorce path but as you know she chose a very different way which ended up being most certainly a longer, more stressful and more expensive path for both of us. Should I ever hear of anyone whose marriage has reached that… Read more “I won’t hesitate to put them in touch with you”

Hi Sarah. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help and representation today. It’s such a relief to hear that I still get to see my kids 3 times a week. Also last but by no means least can you pass on my profound gratitude to Counsel who was a star !!!!

Lesley, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your professionalism. Guiding me through a difficult time, also your understanding and empathy as to my personal situation. I would not hesitate in recommending your services to others.

Attentive, knowledgeable and efficient is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Denise Laverty. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Denise professionally for over a year, during which she diligently assisted me with a very difficult divorce.  Above all, I was impressed with Denise’s ability to clarify the process, advocate and negotiate… Read more “Impressed with Denise’s ability to clarify the process”

Genius legal support!…Denise you are nothing short of an amazing lawyer and I am so grateful that I found you. The impact you have had on my life has been incredible. I cannot thank you enough…. A gargantuan thank you.

They explained everything to me very clearly and we looked at every permutation and possible outcome and risk assessed everything.

Marjory, thank you very much for your very approachable and sensitive manner during our meetings.

Marjory, I think we can all honestly say that we would not have managed this without you, truly you have been an absolute star and we are all very thankful.

Many thanks Marjory for your very approachable manner during our meetings.
