About Us

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

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”

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 !!!!

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

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

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.

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”

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.

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.

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”

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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…

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”

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.

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

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.

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

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”

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.

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

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”

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, 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”

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”
