We Look At The Law Differently
My experience with McIlvenny Law has been nothing but positive. Peter is extremely helpful, professional and kept me fully informed at every stage of the process. He has helped navigate me through a very stressful time in my life. I would definitely recommend McIlvenny Law.
I had occasion to meet with Peter following the breakdown of my marriage and subsequent disagreement between myself and ex-wife with regards to child custody. For anyone who knows the heartache and angst not being able to see your own children can cause, I felt it all. From the very beginning Peter was a true gentleman, navigating me through the quagmire with professionalism and empathy at every turn. His solid advice and tireless work ethic left me at ease, which resulted in my being successfully granted joint child custody on two separate occasions.
I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending McIlvenny Law to anyone who finds themselves in such an unenviable position of separation, divorce or child custody arrangements, and know he will extend the same excellent service to every one of his clients.
I had the pleasure of working with Peter @ McIlvenny Law for my legal matter, and I cannot recommend his services enough. From start to finish he was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I was refused representation by other solicitors due to the complexities of my matter. Peter listened and took my case despite how complex it may have read. Throughout the process, Peter was always available to answer my questions and provide updates on my case. He was prompt in his communication and always made sure I was informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and his ability to anticipate potential issues before they arose. Peter went above and beyond to ensure that my case was handled with care and that my rights were protected. Overall, I had an excellent experience working with Peter and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you, Peter, for your hard work and dedication to my case! Like
