Positive: Professionalism, Quality
After having an awful experience with a local lawyer who told me there was nothing I could do i spoke to Michael Thomson. Very to the point and takes everything in his stride. After good advise and good work from Mr Thomson my situation has changed dramatically for the best. Would definitely recommend.

I was involved in protracted actions using a solicitor firm in Orkney which was making no progress. I moved to Thompson Family Law and a difficult and complex case which had stalled and was making no progress was transformed completely.
Everything went the way I needed it to.
It was no more expensive than using an Orkney solicitor, but the progress and success Michael has brought me just doesn't compare. These things are difficult and emotional at the best of times. If you engage fully and listen to all the advice, following it to the letter, he can change your world.

Mr Johnny Thompson was able to help me and my family with a particularly sensitive matter at what was a very difficult time for us. Johnny provided me updates whenever anything happened and it felt like he was able to help lift the burden on mine and my family’s shoulders. Would definitely recommend the firm, thanks guys.

Johnny is a miracle worker!
I petitioned for divorce in England and my husband immediately responded with a petition in Scotland. As we last lived together there I knew that the law was clear that the petition should proceed in Scotland.
But with two small, sickly children, two jobs, two elderly parents with health problems (with whom we live) plus Covid-19, it would not have been possible for me to get to the north of Scotland from the south of England for court hearings.
I was still traumatised from my abusive
marriage, and very very anxious that the court might order me to do the impossible
