Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

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 !!!!

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 stage in Scotland I won’t hesitate to put them in touch with you Lesley.

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

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.

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.

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, 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

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.

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

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

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

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 thank my exceptional Scottish team, Lesley and Ruth, in particular. You literally blew my mind with your professionalism, your deep understanding and participation in my personal circumstances, your strategic wisdom and the feminine perspective that steered the UK negotiations with the opponent’s party into the right direction every time.

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

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.

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 effectively on my behalf. She was extremely thorough and notified me in a timely manner of all steps of the process. And, of course, her empathetic and professional manner. As such, she was able to guide me through the minefield of legalities in a sensitive way. I would highly recommend Mrs Laverty as an accomplished expert to assist and advise on any family law matter.

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 faith in the legal system was redeemed by BTO. Denise and the team at BTO did a fantastic job for me and I would use them again for any legal work I have.

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.

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 and sensible.  I have found Denise to be reliable and a pleasure to work with. She really ‘knows her stuff’ and always has a clear idea of the way forward. I would like to thank her for all her sound legal advice and her practical, friendly approach.

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 was recommended to use Denise. It turns out it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Thank you so much Denise for making our relocation as smooth as possible, the children are living such a wonderful life and are still able to see and have contact with their Father whilst “living the dream!”

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 expert guidance through a trying situation.

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 you are not fully involved and particularly where I’ve needed assistance at short notice. Thank you so much!

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